Abstract:
Because the Latino/Hispanic ethnic group is made up of various skin phototypes there is no one particular laser parameter applied to all Latinos. This review examines specific laser therapies and tailors them for usage in the Latino population. Particular emphasis is placed on the selection of laser parameters, wavelengths, and pulse durations that are suitable and safe to use in Latino subtypes. Limitations are noted in the availability of certain lasers and the cost of such treatments as well as how the phototype of the patient limits what parameters can be used.
