By Andrew Stone


Diseases claim very many lives from the society every day. This unfortunate trend is due to the shortage of medical knowledge and amenities in the community. The introduction of quantum wave laser treatment and other modern therapy systems has quite checked the situation, however. This Laser treatment uses a concentrated beam of light to pinpoint and eliminates the infected area in the human body. A special light of unique characteristics is used to effect the treatment.

These light rays are focused on the affected area enabling the doctor to view it clearly.

In contrast, cosmetic treatment is achieved by applying the laser beam directly to the affected skin.

There are three different categories of light beams that are used in such procedures. Once again the kind of ailment being treated will determine the type of light to be used. Carbon dioxide and Argon lasers are ideal for making shallow incisions and therefore, used to treat superficial cancers of the skin. The latter is particularly useful during photodynamic therapy.
