Laser Florence 2009 is the annual Congress of the International Academy Laser Medicine and Surgery, jointed with the biannual congress of the International Photo Therapy Association.

As usual researchers and doctors will show new data immediately available for practical use.

Particular emphasis will be given to research relating to standards for light and laser therapy on different topics: Dentistry, Dermatology, Neurology, Rehabilitation and Sport Injuries, .Phlebology, Plastic Surgery, Photodynamic Diagnosis and Therapy.

A special session will be dedicated to Energetic Medicine and the role of laser beams and light in this topic.

In fact, in the world there is a bit of confusion between data obtained from evidence based medicine and scientific data controlled experimentally.

The International Academy ensures a high quality of the lectures and posters presented. The accepted abstracts are published in the official journal of the IALMS, Laser in Medical Science, published by Springer Publisher, London. The Proceedings of the Conference will be published immediately after the event, on paper and on line, by the American Institute of Physics. The IALMS members can look up the slides of the Conference in the member area at the web site www.ialms.com .

The aim of Laser Florence organisers is always the same: to establish an outstanding interaction between the delegates in a unique location and an unforgettable atmosphere where friendship, intelligence and scientific know-how are blended.

Several awards are available for the presenters of the best papers and posters and the recipients will be invited to participate in the next conference of Laser Florence.

To fully understand the importance of Laser Florence, there is only one way, coming here!

Looking forward to seeing you in Florence.

Best regards


Leonardo Longo, M.D.
