Could Laser Damage Face Nerves?

Question

Could Laser damage nerves when treating a vein on the temple?

Scott Trimas, MD · Answer

It is unlikely that the use of a laser to treat facial veins would damage any nerves as they are typically much deeper below the skin's surface and are intimate with the muscles. In addition, nerves tend to be white and do not absorb laser light energy.

Hratch Karamanoukian, MD, FACS · Answer

Laser resurfacing, laser for vein treatments on the face or hemangiomas or capillaries do not harm facial nerves. There are motor nerves that are quite deep aad definitely not affected. Seensory nerves are also not injured with laser.
