APPLICATIONS OF LASER BEAMS IN MEDICINE

Abstract

This article examines the significance of Laser beams in modern medicine, their physical properties, mechanisms of interaction with biological tissues, and major clinical applications. The study analyzes the effectiveness of laser technologies in surgery, ophthalmology, dermatology, dentistry, oncology, physiotherapy, and diagnostics. The results indicate that laser-based methods differ from conventional treatment approaches due to their high precision, minimal invasiveness, reduced blood loss, and shorter recovery periods. At the same time, the high cost of laser equipment and the need for specially trained personnel remain important limitations
