• Cosmetic dermatology- The laser machine is used for many types of cosmetic surgery . Scar revision , skin resurfacing , hair and tattoo removal are some of the cosmetic dermatology that applies the technology of the laser machine .
• Medical imaging- Lasers are used to create a visualized representation of the interior of the human body . These visualized representation help doctors , researchers and scientist to analyze human anatomy . Medical imaging forms a database for anatomy and physiology to make it possible to identify anomalous infections in the human body . Imaging of tissues and organs by use of lasers also help medics to learn about the functioning of these organs .
