✦ Synopsis

Abstract

Background and Objectives

There are many treatment modalities for psoriasis including topical therapy, ultraviolet light therapy, systemic agents, and more recently the advent of the biologic agents.

Study Design/Materials and Methods

In addition, selective treatment using lasers and light sources that target the individual psoriatic plaques have also been employed.

Results/Conclusion

This article will highlight and review the employment of laser‐assisted devices in the treatment of plaque psoriasis. Lasers Surg. Med. 35:165–173, 2004. Β© 2004 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.

## Abstract ## Background and Objectives Nonablative laser and light treatments have largely replaced ablative laser therapy in clinical use for the improvement of the visible signs of cutaneous photoaging, including rhytides, vascular lesions, and pigmentation. However, the mechanisms underlying

In many laser spectroscopic techniques, such as fluorescence Raman and resonance Raman spectroscopy the choice of laser excitation wavelength is of central importance. Thus, it is desirable to have a single laser light source where the wavelength can be tuned fast, easily and continuously without th

## Abstract **Summary:** A mathematical model of photopolymerization is presented for a stationary laser. Termination by radical combination and radical trapping is considered. Using simplifying assumptions, we derive analytical equations for the concentration of photoinitiator and monomer in the s
