monochromatic, collimated and coherent
true or false: priorto treatment, hair should neither be shaved or waxed. - ✔✔true
joules per area equals: - ✔✔fluence
In the field of aesthetics, there are several types of lasers that produce energy within specified durations
and characteristics. which one of the following is most appropriate for laser hair removal? - ✔✔long
pulsed lasers
the outermost layer of the skin is called the: - ✔✔epidermis
on the fitzpatrick scale of skin prototypes, caucasian skin that burns mildly but will tan is best described
as skin type : - ✔✔III. I never tans, II burns, tans but doesn't last long, IV is olive complexion, V light dark

Alexandrite: 755
ND Yag: 1064
each tissue has specific absorption characteristics based on its: - ✔✔chromophores
finding the optimal treatment settings is a balance of: - ✔✔efficiency and safety
Increasing spot size keeps scattered photons in the: - ✔✔beam path
minimize direct reflection by keeping incident path ______ to skin surface. - ✔✔perpendicular
which of the following contributes the least to the efficacy of the treatment? - ✔✔pulse rate/ hertz. we are
more concerned with pulse width or duration, wavelength , and amount of fluence.
which of the following is not a primary layer of skin: - ✔✔photodermis
when speaking of medical laser systems, It's perhaps most appropriate to think of them as tools for a
specific job. which one of the following is NOT one of the most basic considerations for selecting the best
tool for the job? - ✔✔the power supply. we are more concerned with pulse width or duration, wavelength
, and amount of fluence.
which of the following is not a form of cooling? - ✔✔electromagnetic cooling. cooling forms are cryogenic
, forced air and contact.
known as the workhorse laser, which of the following lasers/ machines is most appropriate to treat skin
types IV, V and VI for LHR? - ✔✔ND:YAG 1064
which one of the following wavelengths is most appropriate for the treatment of LHR, certain pigmented
lesions, tattoo removal, and vascular lesions? - ✔✔1064 nm because it goes further into the skin.
removal of tissue and inducing a thermal injury that heals by epidermal regeneration and remodeling of
the underlying collagen is achieved by: - ✔✔ablative systems
