laserhoito
Laserhoito is the Finnish term for laser treatment, a broad category of medical and cosmetic procedures that use focused light energy to interact with tissue. The laser emits light at a specific wavelength and pulse duration, which determines its effect on tissue and its ability to target certain chromophores such as water, melanin, or hemoglobin. By selecting appropriate parameters, clinicians can cut, ablate, coagulate, or stimulate remodeling with precision larger than conventional methods.
