USE OF LASER IN TREATMENT OF PREMALIGNANT SKIN CONDITIONS

Abstract

There are various treatment procedures that are used the laser beam in the medical applications especially in the treatment of skin diseases. Some of them are utilized for cosmetic surgery, inflammatory tissue and some for premalignant skin conditions. According to the laser generation systems, there are several types of laser which are used in the medical application such as CO2, Er:YAG and the rest laser types. Almost, all of them are succeed in these applications and distinguished results are achieved. The aim of this study is to investigate the feasibility of using laser beam for treatment of the premalignant skin conditions within three types of laser have been used: CO2 laser, Er:YAG and Semiconductor laser (Diode laser). Different types of premalignant skin conditions such as Keratoacanthoma, Dysplastic
