today, lasers are widely used in biology and medicine, and the majority of healthcenters and hospitals utilize modern laser systems for diagnosis and therapy applications.researchers have introduced different medical applications for different lasers used in surgeries and other medical treatments. medical lasers can be categorized in both diagnosis and therapy branches. main difference between ...

introduction: to improve laser hair removal (lhr) for dark skin, the fluence rate reaching the hair follicle in lhr is important. this paper presents the results of a comparative study examining the function of wavelength on dark skin types using 755 nm alexandrite and 810 nm diode lasers. methods: the structure of the skin was created using a realistic skin model by the advanced systems analys...

introduction: acne scar is formed after severe episodes of acne in teen and earlyadult years. several treatment options have been used for depressed acne scars suchas punch grafting, punch excision carbon dioxide (co2) laser etc. moreover, studiesshow that laser skin resurfacing such as co2 fractional can effectively treat depressedacne scars. we investigated the efficacy of fractional co2 lase...

introduction: trichophyton rubrum is one of the most common species of dermatophytes which affects superficial keratinous tissue. it is not especially virulent but it can be responsible for considerable morbidity. although there are different therapeutic modalities to treat fungal infections, clinicians are searching for alternative treatment because of the various side effects of the present t...

i ntroduction: liposuction using laser is now one of the most common cosmetic surgery. this new method has minimized the disadvantages of the conventional liposuction including blood loss, skin laxity and long recovery time. benefits of the new liposuction methods which include less trauma, bleeding and skin tightening prove the superiority of these methods over the traditional mechanical metho...

Introduction: Laser tissue soldering using albumin and indocyanine green dye (ICG) is an effective technique utilized in various surgical procedures. The purpose of this study was to perform laser soldering of rat skin under a feedback control system and compare the results with those obtained using standard sutures. Material and Methods: Skin incisions were made over eight rats’ dorsa, which w...

In the present study, an ultrafine grained (UFG) 304L stainless steel with the average grain size of 300 nm was produced by a combination of cold rolling and annealing. Weldability of the UFG sample was studied by Nd: YAG laser welding under different welding conditions. Taguchi experimental design was used to optimize the effect of frequency, welding time, laser current and laser pulse duratio...

As the turbine industries need to manufacture turbine blades made of martensitic stainless steel AISI 420 with high toughness and wear resistance, local laser hardening has become more and more important. In this research, surface of the samples was initially hardened by high-power pulsed laser beam; then, optimum parameters of hardening were calculated and wear resistance of surface hardened s...

Weld area and weld depth/width ratio can be considered to be of the most important geometrical factors in pulsed laser welding. The effects of carbon dioxide and oxygen additions to the argon shielding gas on the weld properties in pulsed laser welding of low carbon steel is investigated. Presence of carbon dioxide and oxygen up to 10 and 15 percent respectively decreases the weld geometrical f...
