Ladies and Gentlemen,

Dear Readers and Friends of Laser Medicine,

Laser Partner has entered the sixth year of its existence. This gives us the right to declare that we have passed all "teething troubles", however there is no time to rest on our laurels. Quite the reverse, we are a magazine which has made a name for itself, having its circle of regular readers and subscribers and, hopefully, going to gain new ones. Fruitful co-laboration of Laser Partner with Czech Society for the Use of Laser in Medicine (a branch of the Czech Medical Society) as well as scientific patronage of European Medical Laser Association have contributed to its quality.

The orientation of our magazine has closely predetermined its contents. Laser medicine is a highly interesting interdisciplinary branch, reaching from a country GP`s office up to a unique highly specialized clinical center. Combination of practical medicine with high tech has its attraction, the limits of cognition opening very fast. Therefore it is not easy to satisfy and attract everyone. Even though, Laser Partner has accepted the challenge in order to continue in bringing its readers novelties of laser medicine, interesting methods and case histories, specialization overviews, comparative studies, theoretical and practical issues of laser medicine etc.

I hope we will manage to do well, for this is actually the goal of the entire editorial board, the work of which I highly appreciate. However, this cannot be achieved on our own. Stay "tuned" for the future, read us, write us, comment us, keep your fingers crossed for us ...

Thank You

Editor in Chief Premysl Fryda
