A member asked:

Is co2 laser treatment safe? could the co2 laser cause too much damage that would end up scarring? or could it damage my eyes if the doctor's hand slips?

Treatment : Treatment with a laser can yield a good change or improvement as long as the treatment is rendered by a properly trained and credentialed provider.

Any : Any procedure can be either safe in the right hands or very dangerous in the wrong hands. The same applies to co2 lasers. Good luck from nyc for more info visit www.Drgrossman.Com.

Be careful: If the laser energy applied is too high, or too many passes are done over the same area, then scarring can occur. Eye protection is usually used to protect the patient. Always seek out an experienced practitioner.
