What Are the Thermal Damage to Skin Signs/ Symptoms?

October 26, 2011
Asked By:TJackson in San Diego, CA

Can thermal damage to the skin from a laser treatment cause side effects like moderate burning and itching feelings on skin, sensitivity in affected tissue, and can it be controlled or minimized? I have consistently seen dermatology terms such as skin threshold, fluence, and bulk heating. How would these relate? if at all. Thanks for reading and hope you can help.
