## Background and objectives: Laser-induced photo thermal damage has been combined with photodynamic therapy (pdt) using a systemic photosensitiser to treat vascular lesions. the efficacy of pdt using systemic 5-aminolaevulinic acid (5-ala) as the photosensitiser and pulsed dye laser (pdl) as the l

A pulsed KTP pumped dye laser (25 kHz repetition rate and 470 nsec pulse width) has been compared to a continuous wave argon ion pumped dye laser as the source of 630 nm light during in-vitro and in-vivo Photofrin-I1 mediated photosensitization studies. Individual experiments documented the effectiv
## Background and objectives: The advantages of the continuous wave (c.w.) co(2) laser are offset by the delay in laser wound healing secondary to thermal damage. we have developed novel heat-conducting templates to reduce laser thermal damage. because shortened pulse durations also decrease therma
Previous investigations have shown good clinical potential for the use of the 1.32 pm wavelength Nd:YAG laser because its soft tissue absorption is better than that of the 1.06 pm wavelength NdYAG laser. The 1.32 pm wavelength NdYAG laser has an absorption coefficient in water that is 10 times highe
