Is the laser dangerous?

No. It’s not actually a laser but an infra red beam similar to your TV remote, therefore harmless. There is a full briefing given before play.

The laser is dangerous if you look at it directly. However full laser safety precautions are taken during the operation. Everyone in the operating theatre has to wear special glasses during the laser phase of the procedure to be sure that there is no risk.

The laser penetrates skin to a maximum of about one millimetre, so it does not affect any deeper tissues. The only organ of the body which the laser can damage is the eye, and it is for this reason that eye protection is used.

The laser penetrates the skin to a maximum depth of 1mm, so it cannot affect deeper tissues. However, the eye can be easily injured, therefore special goggles or eye shields are used when the laser is in operation. The laser does not produce any rays known to be harmful long-term, such as x-rays, gamma rays, U.V. light etc.
