Laser based technology used for skin rejuvenation may produce vaporized tissue resulting in Laser Generated Airborne Contaminates (LGAC). This is often referred to as "Laser Plume" or "Laser smoke".
LGAC may be generated during a Laser hair removal or any aesthetic laser system capable of ablating tissue. Ablative procedures are becoming more common in advanced skin care and require that the treatment providers be aware of the non-beam hazards. The standards for control of LGAC may be found in ANSI Z136.3
7.4.2 Control Measures. Airborne contaminants shall be controlled by the use of ventilation and respiratory protection. Ventilation techniques can include general room or local exhaust ventilation or a combination.
ANSI Z136.3 - 2005 Pg. 18
