MODEL RELEASED. Cosmetic skin treatment. Woman wearing goggles to protect her eyes from damage during laser cosmetic treatment. A magnifying glass is reflected in the goggles. This is used by the laser operator to see the surface of the woman's skin more clearly. Lasers are used cosmetically to reduce the depth of wrinkles, for hair removal, and to remove thread veins. Lasers can cause thermal damage to the retina, cornea or lens if the eyes are not adequately protected.
