Ok. So I didn't find these infomercials. I modified existing ones to advertise lasers (if that wasn't obvious to you) {sources 1, 2, 3}. But why shouldn't there be laser infomercials out there like these ones? I haven't run into any!
The reason for this is because applications of laser technology are not gimmicks. They actually work. There is a pretty long list of laser applications in all industries. Pertaining to health and medicine, here is a list of just a few that I know of:
Hair Removal
Stretch Mark Treatment
Scar Removal
Tattoo Removal
Teeth Whitening
Acne Treatment
Vision Enhancement Surgery
Bloodless Surgery Cutting Tools
If you were thinking about getting any of these done, don't search infomercials to find a solution. Be thankful that scientists and doctors are cooperating to extend the applications of lasers to cosmetic and health applications.
Benito, I really enjoyed the clever montage of infomercials you put together! It's clear you spent a lot of time working on this post. I'd like to learn more about how lasers work to provide better results than the things used in informercial gimmicks. This blog post really grabbed my attention. Well said and nicely done!
ReplyDeleteThanks Jenny. You are very welcome to read my other posts and follow the links I include if you are interested in lasers and how they work. To be sure, there will be more to come. Stay tuned!
ReplyDeleteYeah, pretty hilarious. There's a little science communication happening here, too :). Glad to see you're mixing it up. Hope to see some serious posts continue, too.
ReplyDeleteSure thing. I just got my hands on some video editing software, so I thought I would try to apply it. Serious posts on the way!
