Preparing the Patient’s Skin for Laser Therapy
Before applying Laser therapy to the patient, you must
fi rst prepare the patient’s skin. By properly preparing the
patient’s skin for Laser therapy, you will allow more Laser
energy to reach the targeted areas and reduce the risk of
skin irritation.
To prepare the patient’s skin for Laser therapy, do the
following:
1. Thoroughly wash the skin on which you intend to
place the laser head with mild soap and water or
alcohol wipe.
2. Dry the skin thoroughly.
For LASER OPERATION, refer to page 56.
