On the eve of the transition from the old to the new year, the Spring Festival of 2009 is approaching, marking the beginning of the 39th anniversary of the establishment of the Shanghai Laser Society. At this moment, I believe all colleagues working in the field of laser medicine are filled with gratitude and enthusiasm. At the end of 2008, during the board meeting, everyone expressed their commitment and vision for the joint development of laser medicine, setting the stage for a promising future.
Indeed, in the field of laser medicine, groundbreaking technologies and advanced equipment have been emerging rapidly in the United States and Europe. A wide range of innovative laser devices have been developed, both in clinical settings and in medical aesthetics. These advancements can be generally categorized into several key areas: First, there has been a surge in semiconductor lasers, including various infrared wavelengths such as 800nm, 810nm, 890nm, and 980nm. For instance, battery-powered semiconductor lasers for dental use are compact, efficient, and capable of performing a variety of treatments like soft tissue cutting, benign tumor resection, and root canal disinfection.
Second, all-solid-state lasers and fully-closed cavity Q-switched lasers have gained popularity. The KTP-532nm laser, for example, benefits from a solid-state design, making it compact, stable, and cost-effective. This makes it highly suitable for promoting photodynamic therapy in China. Similarly, the 755nm alexandrite laser with a fully enclosed cavity offers improved stability, providing reliable treatment for pigmented lesions.
Third, multi-wavelength lasers continue to evolve, such as 595nm and 1064nm lasers that use dual-wavelength sequential emission technology for treating vascular lesions. Fourth, non-stripping lattice lasers, like 1320nm and 1440nm dual-wavelength infrared lasers, are being increasingly developed. Fifth, dot matrix lasers, ranging from ultra-pulse COâ‚‚ to Er:YAG at 2940nm, offer multi-wavelength options with large dynamic parameters.
Lastly, laser technology is now being integrated with other modalities such as radio frequency, focused ultrasound, and plasma cold spray in medical and cosmetic devices. The scope of laser treatment is expanding to include other light sources like LEDs, suggesting that the concept of laser medicine may soon extend into the broader field of photonics.
On the other hand, domestic research in this area has been relatively slow. Although China’s laser technology is not lagging behind globally in fields like national defense, laser physics, and laser processing, it still lags significantly in medical lasers. Therefore, it is crucial for Chinese researchers to collaborate across disciplines, study and replicate imported equipment, and focus on developing innovative medical laser systems.
2009 marks the year of the global financial crisis, a time of challenges. However, it also presents opportunities. Embracing these opportunities and overcoming the storm will be a true test of our resilience and determination.
