摘要：Skin is in the form of thin layer covering the muscles and muscular fibers of the body. It gives good shapefor our body and is responsible for giving good complexion (colour) due to the presence of colouring pigment calledmelanin. Skin also protects our body from ultraviolet rays coming from the sun. it also allows the evaporation of waterthrough the pores in it during summer thereby regulating the body temperature.The term dermatology refers diseases related to the skin. Now a day’s skin diseases are common due to allergic todrugs, insects bite and environmental pollution etc. these diseases related to skin can be cured by taking proper medicinesof allopathy or herbal. But major skin disorders like tattoos(extra growth of skin), vascular skin lesion and hemangioma(tumour in blood vessels etc)cannot be rectified by oral medicinal therapy (or) laser treatment. Earlier only surgery wasused to solve these types of major skin problems. With the advent of discovery of various types of laser which differ inpower capacity and wave lengths coupled with optical fibers doctors can perform bloodless surgery in short duration on aspecified area (pulse laser) with a minimum time for healing.One of the major field in which modern laser find its applications is dermatology through photothermal andphotochemical reactions. The present study briefly discuss about various interesting applications in the field ofdermatology.
