Mechanism study of skin tissue ablation by nanosecond laser pulses

Understanding the fundamental mechanisms in laser tissue ablation is essential to improve clinical laser applications by reducing collateral damage and laser pulse energy requirements. In this dissertation, skin tissue ablation by nanosecond laser pulses has been studied from near infrared to ultraviolet for a clear understanding of the mechanism that can be used to enhance future design of pulsed lasers for dermatology and plastic surgery. …
