Lasers in medicine

Lasers are not the stuff of science fiction, they are in our daily lives and used to help us in ways you may have never considered:

Have a problem with unwanted hair on your top lip or anywhere else?  Laser hair removal could be an investment worth making for you as a permanent solution to your body hair issues.

Need surgery which is of a delicate nature?  Many conditions like poly-cystic ovarian syndrome, an unfortunate and terrible condition which can lead to complete infertility were previously considered to be risky to operate on.  Now with more accurate and blood free laser scalpels these operations can achieve greater success rates and lower risk factors from things such as infection or human error.

Did you make a mistake when you were eighteen and drunk or when you thought you were going to be with someone for the rest of your life?  Laser tattoo removal can fix that for you with far less discomfort and lower cost than getting the unwise marking in the first place.

Do you use electricity?  If so then chances are that some of your power needs are met by nuclear power.  The fission reaction which generates the massive amount of energy a nuclear power station sends out is started by using hundreds of specially created lasers to agitate the molecules in the nuclear material in precisely the right fashion to achieve the cascade reaction and release its stored energy.
