    Author: Patel BC.
    Journal: Semin Ophthalmol; 1998 Sep; 13(3):158-70. PubMed ID: 9813106.
    Abstract:
    There has been a bewildering increase in the number and types of lasers available to the modern surgeon for the treatment of a variety of lesions. Pigmented and vascular lesions lend themselves to laser therapy and are common presentations in the cosmetic practice. While many different lasers may be effective for the treatment of these lesions, each has its own advantages and disadvantages. A detailed understanding of the specific properties and the applicability of the different lasers is vital if one is to successfully incorporate these lasers into one's practice. In this article, we discuss the different types of lasers available for the treatment of these lesions, discuss the specific indications and limitations and present our experience with the krypton laser.
