"Discussions in this book focus on the physics behind lasers, using mathematical equations to demonstrate why varying certain treatment parameters can affect a particular chromophore or lesion in different ways. ... This book provides quite comprehensive coverage of various laser and other light devices." (Patricia Wong, Doody's Book Reviews, March, 22 , 2019)
