All lasers are classified according to their potential for injury. Because medical lasers fall into the category having the greatest hazard potential, appropriate safeguards must be planned and undertaken. This article addresses the complications associated with the photoablative and thermal effects of lasers. Despite the laser's potential for injury, however, the probability of serious damage is negligible if the modality is used intelligently by the informed physician.
所有激光都根据其潜在伤害性进行分类。由于医用激光属于具有最大潜在危害的类别，因此必须制定并采取适当的防护措施。本文探讨了与激光的光热效应相关的并发症。然而，尽管激光有潜在伤害性，但如果知识渊博的医生明智地使用这种治疗方式，严重损伤的可能性是微乎其微的。
