Evaluation of patient satisfaction after treatment with the alexandrite laser for hirsutism
Background: Laser treatment is a rapid, non-invasive procedure for long-term hair removal. Lasers operate based on the principle of selective photothermolysis and target melanin in the hair follicle. We intend to determine the level of hirsute patient satisfaction with the alexandrite laser hair removal procedure.Methods: In this cross-sectional study 82 hirsute patient...
متن کاملOptimal parameters for laser treatment of leg telangiectasia.
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE The optimal parameters for treatment of leg telangiectasia with a pulsed laser are investigated. STUDY DESIGN/MATERIALS AND METHODS The Monte Carlo method is used to calculate the light penetration and absorption in the epidermis, dermis, and the ectatic blood vessel. Calculations are made for different diameters and depths of the vessel in the dermis. In addition, th...
متن کاملTreatment of an amalgam tattoo with a Q-switched alexandrite (755 nm) laser.
BACKGROUND Amalgam tattoos result from deposition of metallic particles (eg, silver, mercury, copper, zinc, and tin) into the oral mucosa. Their clinical and histologic appearance is similar to that of decorative tattoos. OBJECTIVE To describe the successful use of a Q-switched alexandrite laser for removal of an amalgam tattoo. MATERIALS AND METHODS An amalgam tattoo on the buccal mucosa a...
متن کاملAn alexandrite pumped Nd:glass regenerative amplifier for chirped pulse amplification
For many high field physics studies a laser source capable of producing intensities of 1017 W/cm 2 or greater is necessary. Ideally, such a laser source should be compact and simple so that it is at once reliable and manageable. In order to make the laser as compact as possible it is extremely desirable to use solidstate amplifier materials because of their energy storage capability. If this en...
متن کاملCutaneous ulceration and breast implant compromise after pulse dye laser for radiation-induced telangiectasias
INTRODUCTION Breast cancer is the most common noncutaneous malignancy occurring in women and as such patients are experiencing the sequelae of treatments. Radiation therapy is used in the adjuvant setting for locally advanced breast carcinoma or in patients after total mastectomy. Radiation dermatitis, both acute and chronic, can complicate radiation therapy. Chronic radiation dermatitis presen...
