question: The World Health Organization has recently defined the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS‐CoV‐2) infections as a pandemic. The infection, that may cause a potentially very severe respiratory disease, now called coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID‐19), has airborne transmission via droplets while less attention focused on aerosol transmission. Surgical smoke and plumes in laser clinics represent a source for aerosol particles. The aim of this article is to provide the authors opinion for the correct use of “laser devices” in the COVID‐19 emergency and to reduce potential risks of laser airborne contaminants.
