Artwork: penetration of skin by various lasers
Artwork of a section of human skin showing the relative degree of penetration of three types of laser beams used in medicine. The green argon laser at left penetrates the epidermis (the upper, purple skin layer) & is used to seal the dilated blood vessels that form a haemangioma. The tunable dye laser (orange, centre) does not penetrate the epidermis. At right the colourless carbon dioxide laser penetrates through to the dermis (buff coloured layer), which allows it to be used in the removal of unwanted tattoos. Dark spots (right) represent packets of tattoo pigment

EDITORS COMMENTS
This artwork captures the intricate penetration of various laser beams into human skin, showcasing their distinct applications in medicine. The print showcases a section of human skin, highlighting the relative degree of penetration by three types of lasers. On the left side, we see the vibrant green argon laser delicately penetrating through the epidermis, which is the upper layer of purple-toned skin. This particular laser is utilized to seal dilated blood vessels that form haemangiomas, providing an effective treatment for these vascular abnormalities. In the center, we observe an orange tunable dye laser that does not penetrate through the epidermis. Its limited reach makes it suitable for specific medical procedures where only surface-level treatment is required. Finally, on the right side of this mesmerizing artwork, we witness a colorless carbon dioxide laser effortlessly penetrating all layers until reaching the dermis – a buff-colored layer beneath. This remarkable capability allows it to be employed in removing unwanted tattoos by targeting and breaking down tattoo pigment packets represented as dark spots. The fusion between art and science beautifully illustrates how lasers have revolutionized dermatological treatments and interventions. From sealing blood vessels to erasing indelible ink marks from our skin's canvas, these powerful tools continue to shape modern healthcare practices while offering new possibilities for patients seeking specialized care.
