Where this comes from

Abstract

A wide variety of lasers provides the plastic surgeon with treatment options that were not available previously. Appropriate, safe use of lasers complements the many therapeutic treatment options available to plastic surgeons. Lasers have introduced a new therapeutic modality. Because of the ways the skin and its defects may be altered with lasers, they will be an increasingly important part of plastic surgery.
