Abstract
Clinical lasers are currently used in outpatient clinics to treat a variety of skin conditions, ranging from acne vulgaris to the removal of birthmarks. However, over the years, nurses have seen the growth in the number of aesthetic clinics and salons that are also using lasers for the purpose of skin rejuvenation, thread vein removal and tattoo removal, but what is a laser and how does it work?
