CONTRA-INDICATIONS  

-

 

direct radiation in the eye: the human eye is extremely sensitive to laser radiation 
and  can  be  permanently  damaged  from  direct  or  reflected  laser  beams.  The 
special safety glasses must be worn by both patient by the operator.  

-

 

pregnancy:  the  laser  is  contraindicated  for  use  over  the  pregnant  uterus.  It  can

abdomen. 

-

 

neoplasms:  you  must  not  use  the  laser  on  a  primary  lesion  or  secondary  non-
diagnosed.  Laser  treatment  may  be  granted  to  relieve  pain  during  the  terminal 
stage  of  disease,  it  is  recommended  that  this  be  performed  only  with  the  full 
consent of the patient. 

-

 

thyroid: the laser should not be used in any case above the gland. 

-

 

bleeding: vasodilatation may worsen the bleeding. 

-

 

immuno-suppressive  therapy:  laser  therapy  is  contraindicated  in  patients  who 
have undergone such type of drug therapy. 

-
