NOVEMBER - 20186Nearly half a century ago, in a time where new technologies constantly pervaded the industry, lasers were only viewed as a topic for academic study, a futuristic project. It was only in the late 70s that lasers started becoming popular for aesthetic surgeries, though its fame had a stunted growth, until now. Today, the demand for laser surgeries has increased substantially among patients and dermatologists alike.The main advantage of laser therapy compared to any other conventional methods of treatment of pigmented lesions lies in its selective photothermolysis, which results in excellent cosmetic result with minimal risk of scarring. Currently, lasers are used to target cutaneous disorders of blood vessels, pigmentation, and hair growth along with textural disorders including photo-aging and scarring. Lasers have proved successful in lightening port wine birthmarks and other telangiectatic disorders in children. Coupled with that, laser surgeries can also significantly improve acquired pigmented lesions such as solar lentigines and tattoos.However, it is also necessary to select the correct laser treatment solution according to the location of the pigment within the lesion. In the light of this, Q-switched lasers are gaining prominence for treating smaller areas of the skin. These lasers have a mechanism that stores the generated energy and releases it as very short, intense pulses with a pulse width in the nanosecond range. This extremely short pulse duration makes Q-switched lasers ideal choice for selective destruction of melanin, without dissipation of heat from the target to the surrounding tissues. However, this technology is still open to numerous developments.At this interesting juncture, MedTech Outlook and its panel of experts bring you a carefully curated list of Top 10 Dermatology Solution Providers of 2018.
