Abstract
     Laser, as acronym for Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation, has been described as one of the most important discovery by Albert Einstein in  the last century. In this modern life, including in the field of healthcare, we cannot imagine to live without it.
The author will describe basic information of laser medicine and surgery and its application in clinical settings.
     The potential use of laser in medicine derived from its effect on the biological system, which are photothermal and non-thermal effect. The photonic effect on various system of a healthy living human being will be highlighted, but most of the diseased individu will need  it  as  a possibly selective and  minimal invasive surgery. 

     The photobiomodulation is a wide area of  clinical application based on photochemical effect of laser irradiation (laser biostimulation). One of the non thermal effects is photochemical effect,  represented by a new clinical area of Photodynamic Therapy(PDT). The recent in vitro studies of laser in the  cell culture laboratories will become a basic learning to understand  the role of laser  therapy in the clinical arena of Anti Aging and Regenerative Medicine.

Key words: laser, antiaging, regenerative medicine, photodynamic therapy
