What is the main risk associated with improper laser use?

The main risk associated with improper laser use is damage to surrounding tissues. Lasers are powerful tools that can precisely target specific areas, but if not used correctly, they can unintentionally affect adjacent tissues. This can lead to a variety of complications, such as burns, scars, or other forms of tissue injury.

Understanding the anatomy and the specific settings of the laser is crucial for minimizing these risks. Proper training and adherence to safety protocols are essential for ensuring that the laser effectively treats the intended area while avoiding collateral damage. This highlights the importance of operator skill and knowledge in the safe application of laser technology in medical and cosmetic procedures.
