Describe 4 tissue interactions of lasers in the skin - CORRECT ANSWER -
Absorption, Reflection, Transmission, Scatter
Absorption - CORRECT ANSWER -
When a specific wavelength of light comes in contact with tissue, the photon of light loses its he
at energy to the chromophore, or target
laser light - CORRECT ANSWER -can be transmitted through tissue, fluid, and even glass
How is laser light made? - CORRECT ANSWER -

lace
Class II laser product - CORRECT ANSWER -
Any laser product that permits human access during operation to levels of visible laser radiation
in excess of the accessible emission limits
laser safety officer - CORRECT ANSWER -
The person responsible for the laser safety program at the facility. This person is authorized to
monitor operation, enforce controls, and oversee hazards associated with laser usage.
