Since laser technology was applied to the medical field, laser medical treatment has developed rapidly and gradually formed a mature and stable market. At present, laser pointer medicine has maintained a strong momentum of development in basic research, new technology development, and new equipment development, and the market potential is still huge.
Laser technology is an effective means of clinical treatment with a wide range of applications. At the same time, the laser is also a key technology for medical diagnosis. It not only solves many medical problems but also makes a significant contribution to the development of medicine.
The fundamental reason for the rise of laser medicine lies in its obvious advantages. According to the “China Laser Medical Industry Market Outlook and Investment Planning Analysis Report” provided by the Prospective Industry Research Institute, the application of lasers in the medical field is mainly concentrated in the diagnosis, treatment, beauty, and life science research sectors, with significant application advantages.
In laser diagnosis, the laser can penetrate deep into the tissue for diagnosis, which directly reflects the condition of the tissue and provides a sufficient basis for the doctor’s diagnosis. In terms of laser treatment, laser surgery has a small incision, basically no damage or minimal damage to the tissue, and few toxic and side effects. Currently, laser clinical applications include myopia correction, retinal repair, tooth decay repair, and molecular-level minimally invasive surgery.
In the field of laser beauty, the application is more extensive and the effect is more significant. The main applications include the treatment of various vascular skin diseases and pigmentation, eyeliner, wrinkle removal, skin resurfacing, teeth whitening, etc. In terms of life science research, laser breeding, etc., can increase crop yields and optimize the quality of poultry and livestock.
Up to now, my country has a complete industrial chain from laser technology research to product development and green laser pointer spare parts production. The application of lasers in the medical field will gradually expand, which will promote the further development of laser medicine and have a broad future development space. The vigorous development of laser medical treatment has also driven the growth of laser medical equipment. Taking the United States as an example, its laser medical equipment is not only widely used, but also exported in large quantities, and sales are rising.
Although my country started relatively late, it has developed rapidly since the early 1990s and has now become one of the world’s three largest laser medical equipment markets. In terms of laser medical equipment production, it is mainly distributed in Guangdong, Hubei, Beijing, Jiangsu and Shanghai. The current laser medical industry maintains a strong growth momentum, and my country’s laser medical equipment is expected to usher in good development opportunities. However, it is necessary to focus on brand cultivation and increase technological research and development so as to enhance international competitiveness and keep up with the advanced level of the United States.
