Because the laser source used emits light in the near infrared range,
contraindications are essentially of two types.
- Eye damage
- Thermal damage to tissue exposed to the therapy, with particular attention
to continuous emission and the phototype of the patient.
The first case is prevented by using protective glasses, while the second
is avoided through the operator’s ability to evaluate the correct thermal
sensitivity of the patient and their phototype. Keep to the values and usage
specifications detailed in the “Instructions” section.
In particular, avoid use on:
- Patients with suspected or obvious neoplasm
- Pregnant women
- Treatment of photo-sensitive areas
- Treatment of infected areas
- Epileptic patients
- Areas of hemorrhage
- Treatment of the sympathetic nerve, vagus nerve, or cardiac area of cardiac
patients.
