Side effects and complications of laser therapy.

Abstract:

:Laser skin surgery is not without risk and some degree of downtime in most situations. Patient satisfaction is key to the perceived success of the procedure. Therefore, the physician must fully explain all risks, potential complications, and expected morbidity associated with any laser treatment to be performed. Although many side effects can be avoided by use of appropriate intraoperative technique and adequate postoperative management, untoward effects may still occur and must be promptly identified and addressed. An informed patient is an important factor in the healing process and contributes to the success of the procedure.
