Background and aims: Skin rejuvenation is one of high demand cosmetic interventions in Iran. Fractional CO2 Laser is a high power ablative laser which has variety of utilization in medicine including treatment of acne scars and rejuvenation. The aim of this study was to evaluate the safety, efficacy, and cost-effectiveness of Fractional CO2 Laser in comparison with other methods of rejuvenation...

Introduction: A variety of laser treatments have been applied in numerous medical fields. In dentistry, are used for caries, root canals, and periodontal disease, as well surgical resection. Numerous reports recently published on the use lasers bone regeneration. If irradiation is found to promote activation metabolism, it might also be effective treatment, peri-implantitis, Therefore, present ...

Objectives: Palmoplantar warts are a challenge to treat. Standard treatment methods include electrocautery, radiofrequency ablation and cryosurgery, carbon dioxide laser, Erbium-doped Yttrium Aluminum Garnet which ablative, invasive, have downtime. Non-ablative lasers like pulsed dye laser long-pulsed Neodymium: Yttrium-Aluminum-Garnet (Nd: YAG) been tried earlier for the of overcome these defi...

Abstract Picosecond neodymium-doped yttrium aluminium garnet (Nd-YAG) lasers have emerged as the leading technology for tattoo removal due to their shorter pulse lengths and are considered better than other nanosecond lasers. The aim was study efficacy adverse effects of a picosecond quality-switched (QS) Nd-YAG laser in case series 15 Asian patients removal. Fifteen with black- blue-coloured t...

Vascular anomalies of the gastrointestinal tract are an important source of both acute and chronic blood loss. They present difficult management problems as they are often multiple, involving more than one part of the gastrointestinal tract, and may give rise to bleeds of increasing frequency and severity over a period of many years. We present the results of endoscopic argon and Nd YAG laser t...

INTRODUCTION The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of dental surface treatment with Erbium-Doped Yttrium Aluminum Garnet(Er: YAG), Neodymium-Doped Yttrium Aluminium Garnet(Nd: YAG) and Carbon Dioxide Laser (CO2) lasers and sodium ascorbate to recently home bleached enamel by scanning electron microscope (SEM). METHODS Thirty extracted human third molars were selected for this in vi...

BACKGROUND AND DESIGN The removal of benign, aesthetically important, pigmented lesions can be effectively treated with multiple modalities. Selective removal of the pigment by lasers is becoming increasingly popular. A three-center trial evaluated the effectiveness of the frequency-doubled Q-switched neodymium (Nd):YAG laser (532 nm, 2.0-mm spot size, 10 nanoseconds) in removing benign epiderm...

PURPOSE Optic coherence tomography (OCT) evaluation of the choroid, retina, and retinal nerve fiber layer after uncomplicated yttrium-aluminum-garnet (YAG) laser capsulotomy. METHODS OCT analysis of retinal and choroidal structures was performed in 28 eyes of 28 patients following routine examinations before and 24 h, 72 h, 2 weeks, 4 weeks, and 12 weeks after YAG laser capsulotomy. Data were...
