In 2006 around 275,000 Spanish opted for laser surgery to remove varicose veins or assisted body fat, using laser prosthesis surgery, tummy or facial surgeries. In the U.S. the number is 4 or 5 times higher.

In our small country more than 4,000 procedures performed from 2002 to date, including laser and star of the same or attending to other procedures and are the pioneers in these procedures.

What does make an Assisted Laser Surgery
Since its inception, the laser has occupied a prominent place in the development of science. His features have become essential for the emergence of analytical techniques such as IR spectroscopy getting carry out a full spectrum IR region using a monochromatic light source in a time much less than he would need a conventional IR spectrometer.

Continually studies are new uses and applications of laser

Industry
The use to which the laser in different industries that have already been implemented the most important are: the cutting and welding materials, primarily metal parts in the manufacture of many types and improved surfaces.

Medicine
Laser surgery: Laser surgery or endoscopic-assisted direct has been successfully used in the fields of Laryngology, Gynecology and currently Phlebology and Aesthetic Surgery. Endoscopic photocoagulation is to carry a laser beam along an optical fiber into the body, has already been used successfully for tumor destruction in parts of the digestive system. Eye Microsurgery: This technique has been used to treat retinal problems, cataracts and for the treatment of chronic diseases of the cornea (myopia). Surgery on the front of the eye is still developing.

In phlebology optical fiber introduce the varix and act directly on the structures that generate (valves) has so far rational treatment of varicose veins without major destruction as imposing conventional techniques.

In cosmetic surgery, we use the laser to cut accurately without damaging nearby tissues and to "weld" certain structures today do not understand Silhouette without our laser surgery, this is the reason for the excellent and ultra-fast postoperative recovery.

Phototherapy: The use of lasers is now well established for treating skin problems (spots, tumors ,...), and tattoo removal, minimal damage has been observed in the healthy skin adjacent to the treated. Photochemotherapy: This technique, which is currently developing, is aimed at the destruction of cancerous tissues. At present, the medicine also provides new uses of the laser as for cellulite (Cellulite LaEvita) OR FOR SKIN REJUVENATION (LaEvita Skin).

Method is also used as post-traumatic-inflammatory. Furthermore, it is also used to help regenerate cartilage tissues such as meniscus. The mechanism is simple: to produce microscopic laser wounds in the tissue to stimulate self-regeneration.

Characteristics of laser emission
Of all the essential properties of the laser, is its great intensity that gives its name to this type of radiation. Indeed, the intensity of the laser emission is unusually high, making it a powerful radiation tool. In the laser power range (magnitude directly related to the intensity) is very wide, and medicine is the order of watts.

Another essential feature of laser light emission is highly monochromatic (ie, it emits light with a single wavelength, or if two values ​​are always well defined, equal to the bandwidth is almost negligible), which on the one hand it is beneficial to some. Currently there are lasers that are capable of sweeping the entire range of visible wavelength (dye lasers). Another key feature of the laser radiation is its high coherence (the phase of the radiation remains constant over time). Finally, we highlight the high directionality of laser radiation (radiation propagates in one direction), allowing its use over long distances (remote control) and with great precision
