Furthermore, the laser beam can also remove bone, and so it is invaluable in ear surgery. The sounds we hear are
carried from the eardrum to the nerves of the ear by a delicate set of small bones which sometimes solidify, causing

Birthmarks, once almost untreatable, are a mass of blood vessels and, being red, they absorb the laser beam

strongly. It seals them so that the mark becomes less conspicuous. The normal cells on the skin’s surface, which don’t
absorb much of the laser beam, act in the healing and help to conceal the mark.
