8.3 Special recommendations for cleaning and disinfecting the handpieces
Figure 46: Handpiece laser
During the treatment:
The optical contact surfaces of the laser tip are largely protected against contamination to a great
extent by applying the recommended technique. Nevertheless they are to be kept in clean condition
during the treatment, too (particularly when treating thicker dark hair)!
CAUTION
Dirt settling on an optical surface may burn in when exposed to laser radiation and cause
side effects such as reddening, possibly blistering, incrustation, seldom scars!
Ensure that the laser tip of the handpiece remains clean!
For this reason, the optical contact surface must be checked regularly and cleaned by using a clean,
lint-free, damp cloth. You can, for example, rapidly wipe off the surface with a swab each time
when a line has been lasered before starting to laser the next line. This method avoids that a
possibly existing contamination burns in when the laser treatment is continued.
After the treatment:
The device must be switched off.
First, the outer surfaces of the handpiece are cleaned (see last section). If, for example, hair rests
cannot be removed from the optical contact surface by means of a damp cloth, you can also use a
swab moistened with alcohol or isopropanol for cleaning.
Afterwards, the outer surfaces of the handpiece are disinfected.
