  • Title: Laser surgery of the skin.
    Author: Goldberg DJ.
    Journal: Am Fam Physician; 1989 Nov; 40(5):109-16. PubMed ID: 2510483.
    Abstract:
    The carbon dioxide laser, the argon laser and the pulse-dye laser are used to remove a variety of skin lesions. Advantages of laser surgery include a relatively bloodless operating field and minimal postoperative discomfort and swelling. Warts, tattoos, actinic cheilitis, skin cancer, xanthelasma, ingrown toenails, keloids and port-wine stains are among the lesions that can be removed with laser surgery. The tunable pulse-dye laser is particularly useful in the treatment of vascular lesions.
