| Description | References 740 The approximately 3.5 billion nonwhite people in India, China, northeast and southeast Asia, the Middle East, Spain, Central and South America, and the black population of African countries, the United States, and elsewhere represent the majority of the world's population. Racial differences in skin pathophysiology have been well documen- ted (1,2). The high risk of pigmentary alterations and scarring following any procedure that produces inflammation of the skin continues to influence physicians to exercise caution with this group of patients. This caution also applies to laser therapy. Even with the highly selective characteristic of current laser therapy, when results are expected to be similar between the races, they are not. Both genetic background and environmental factors are involved in these differences. Book Name: Principles and Practices in Cutaneous Laser Surgery |
