Abstract:
Laser therapy is an effective treatment that can be used in a wide range of cutaneous conditions in pediatric dermatology. It is an important tool to have in one's armamentarium. The parameters within each laser can vary greatly by the make and model of the laser, making it difficult to make settings generalizable. The goal of this article is to provide some general guiding principles for laser choice, theory behind laser parameter choice, and education surrounding tissue response which will guide treatment parameter changes.
