Explanation

Laser photo-ablation is a medical procedure that uses a special light beam to remove or destroy tissue in the body. This technique is often used in eye surgeries to correct vision problems, but it can also be used in other areas of the body. The laser's light energy is absorbed by the tissue, which then breaks down and is removed. This process allows doctors to precisely target specific areas without damaging surrounding tissues.
