Abstract
|
|
|
|
Even trained physicians may sometimes commit professional errors. Taking sufficient precautions can only reduce the risk of complications and side effects, but cannot eliminate them completely. Here, we report the case of a patient with facial telangiectasia treated with a pulsed dye laser who subsequently developed complications because of procedural errors. A lack of knowledge of laser-tissue interaction and lack of training in the use of laser technology, coupled with improper parameter selection, can result in procedural errors. Thus, physicians should choose the correct laser parameters, such as the wavelength and pulse duration of the lasers when conducting laser procedures.
