A member asked:
If the tip of a pixel laser isn't properly cleaned and tissue from a previous patient is present can it transmit any diseases ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Superficial bugs: Superficial bacteria and viruses can be transferred from the plastic part of the pixel laser from one person to another. This would be the same as if someone touched their cheek with, say, a plastic spoon, and then touched your cheek.
