Lasers have a wide variety of clinical applications in Dermatology.
 
Three LASERS are currently being used in the Department of Dermatology, SDMCMSH.
 
Diode LASER for removal of unwanted hair which results in permanent hair reduction. Useful in conditions such as hirsutism, PCOS, faun tail and hypertrichosis.
 
Carbon dioxide (CO2) LASER for treatment of acne scars, chicken pox scars, burn scars, keloids, hypertrophic scars and post-surgical scars. The fractional mode in CO2 LASERS is safer and has a lesser downtime of recovery than the conventional mode.
 
Nd:YAG LASER for removal of pigmented conditions such as freckles, melisma, birthmarks and tattoo.
