How do you prevent injury during a laser procedure?

To prevent injury during a laser procedure, it's essential to ensure proper patient assessment and preparation, including verifying skin type and any contraindications. Protective eyewear should be worn by both the patient and the operator to safeguard against accidental exposure to the laser beam. Additionally, using appropriate laser settings and techniques, along with maintaining a sterile environment, helps minimize risks. Continuous monitoring of the procedure and clear communication with the patient are also crucial for safety.
