E55 - My history in lasers and IPLs and other stuff...
I started in medical laser clinical research in 1986 as part of my Ph.D. studies in the Bioengineering Unit, Strathclyde University and in Canniesburn Plastic Surgery and Burns Unit.
This is me pretending to be using the original Q-switched ruby laser in Canniesburn.
After gaining my degree in Physics and Astronomy from Glasgow University in 1984, I decided not to get a 'proper job' for a few more years, and instead, go back to university.
I was roped into the medical laser research program because, as a physicist, I 'knew about lasers' (I didn't!!). I joined the group which was the first in the world to develop the scar-free removal of tattoos using Q-switched laser technology.
The world's first QS ruby laser designed to remove tattoos, Canniesburn Hospital, Glasgow, Scotland.
