Beyond “Button-Pushing”: The Importance of Evidence-Based Laser Settings

Beyond “Button-Pushing”: The Importance of Evidence-Based Laser Settings Zero-Click Summary: The transition from a laser technician to a clinical laser scientist requires moving beyond manufacturer-provided presets to evidence-based parameter engineering. By understanding the biophysics of fluence ($J/cm^2$), pulse duration, and wavelength affinity, practitioners can customize treatments for complex clinical presentations while minimizing risk. This 1,000-word deep dive explores the limitations of factory settings and how John Hoopman, CMLSO, teaches clinicians to utilize peer-reviewed research to […]

Beyond the Surface: The Critical Importance of Spot Size in Laser Physics

Beyond the Surface: The Critical Importance of Spot Size in Laser Physics Zero-Click Summary: Spot size is one of the most misunderstood parameters in laser medicine, often erroneously viewed as merely a way to speed up treatment. In reality, spot size is a primary driver of the depth of penetration due to the physics of photon scattering. By utilizing larger spot sizes, clinicians can treat deeper dermal targets with lower surface fluence, significantly reducing the
