Mode of emission
Continuous wave (CW) emit steady beam for as long as laser medium is
excited Low energy May be pulsed by mechanical shutter or by
electronic or photonic means Pulsed
emit light in individual pulses High energy Short or long Q switched :very high energy& very short pulse
![Page 12: Introduction to laser dermatology 2](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081507/587df0631a28abab7e8b4b3b/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Power
Power denisty(irradiance): CW laser Power/ spot area cm² Up to 300 W/cm² coagulation From 1600 W/cm² vaporization >5000 W/cm² cut tissue
Energy denisty(fluence): pulsed laser Energy/ spot area cm² Narrow limited ranges exist depending on
indication
![Page 13: Introduction to laser dermatology 2](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081507/587df0631a28abab7e8b4b3b/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Exposure time Thermal Relaxation Time (TRT)
Time taken for target to dissipate 50% of the energy absorbed to surrounding tissue
Or time needed for cooling of a given light absorbing site e’in skin
TRT is roughly equal to the square of the diameter of target structure
TRT in sec.= ~ d² in mm Second(S)=

1. Exposure time = or < TRT of target lead to selective heating of target without damaging surrounding tissue
2. Exposure time > TRT of target lead to heat diffusion to surrounding tissue

Spot diameter
Selecting spot size depends on depth of target structure
![Page 17: Introduction to laser dermatology 2](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081507/587df0631a28abab7e8b4b3b/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)

3. Photomechanical

Selective photothermolysisProper wavelength which is selectively
absorbed by target tissue(chromophore)Proper fluence produces desired effectProper exposure time should be < TRT
of target tissue
![Page 20: Introduction to laser dermatology 2](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081507/587df0631a28abab7e8b4b3b/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Vaporization(ablation)
Laser beam absorbed by water in epidermis produces vaporization
CW laser causes slow vaporization with spreading of heat to deeper tissue
Pulsed laser causes rapid vaporization without spreading of heat to deeper tissue
![Page 21: Introduction to laser dermatology 2](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081507/587df0631a28abab7e8b4b3b/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Photochemical reaction
Photodynamic therapy of cancer Photosensitizing drug (porphyrin) that
retained by solid tissue,then exposure to laser (630nm) lead to release of singlet oxygen resulting in cell death

individualized for each patient Dark hair & light skin have the best response Longer WL & longer pulse duration are
suitable for dark skin Red &brown hair need high fluence Blond ,gray & white hair do not respond Chin & back hair are less responsive

Ablative LRSMethod
1st pass: (pass is one contagious pulse or scan of laser) Rough whitish yellow surface due to vaporization
of cell water. Removal of this material with wet gause reveals
pink color 2nd pass:
Progressive yellowing & visible tissue contraction 3rd pass:
Fine papillations due to exposure of piloseb.units & acrosyringium

Acne scars Ablate edges of scars before treating whole
face Deeper injury to obtain good result In fair skin you can treat scar without
treating entire cosmotic unit In other skin type it is better to treat entire
face to avoid demarcation line between treated & untreated areas

Non ablative LRS (laser toning,subsurface resurfacing) Non invasive treatment of photodamaged
skin & scars Done by laser inducing mild erythema lasting
for a few hours Dermal temp.of 55-65ºc is required for
collagen denaturation. Stimulate new collagen synthesis
(trauma&inflam.induced by laser increase organized horizontally arrayed bundles of normal collagen in papillary dermis)
3-6 sessions or more are needed every 3-4 w.
