Contraindications
-
Direct exposure to eyes: class 4 lasers are potentially harmful to the
retina; although the likelihood of damage to the retina is extremely low.
The operator must, however, wear the special safety glasses (provided).
-
Pregnancy: the laser must not be used above a pregnant uterus. The
laser can, however, be used for pregnant women providing it is not
directed at the abdomen.
-
Neoplasia: do not use the laser on an undiagnosed primary or secondary
lesion. Laser treatment can be used to alleviate pain during the final
stage of a disease, but we recommend that this be done only with the
full consent of the patient.
-
Thyroid: the laser must not, for any reason, be used above this gland.
-
Hemorrhages: it is possible that vasodilation caused by the laser could
worsen the hemorrhage.
-
Immuno-suppressive therapy: laser therapy is not recommended for
patients subjected to this type of pharmacological therapy.
-
In the case of suspect skin lesions: strictly avoid exposing black marks
or suspect lesions on the skin to the laser.
