This session will cover the following: A thorough understanding of laser-tissue interactions is critical for ensuring effective and safe laser treatments. This session offers an in-depth review of the histologic and non-invasive skin imaging effects of lasers and energy-based devices for scars and rejuvenation, pigmentary disorders, and vascular disorders. Participants will examine skin responses and wound healing processes, supported by detailed analyses using microscopy and advanced imaging techniques like optical coherence tomography.
