Other western countries already have regulations to control their use. Laser/IPL are “high-tech” knife. Most public are not aware of the danger associated with the use of such devices and majority support further regulation.

By selecting the right wavelength, one can selectively destroy the object without affecting the surrounding tissue. * * * Laser Radiation of a fixed wavelength. Intense pulsed light source (IPL) Consists a fixed range of wavelength, target at different depth will be affected. The selectivity of IPL is decreased and much higher energy is often needed to achieve the clinical result. * * * * * Treatment of skin diseases Congenital port-wine stain Freckle Tattoo Laser hair removal Laser resurfacing * Before * After * Why government should regulate the use of high power laser * Medical/Dental practitioners are best to determine clinical end point To achieve the optimal clinical response, one needs to assess the tissue reaction so that the right energy can be used. Mis-use of laser/IPL energy can lead to Under-treatment (no effect) Over-treatment (leading to complication such as pigmentary disturbance or even scarring) * before Before * After week 1 After 7 days * Medical/Dental practitioners are best to detect and manage complic
