ABSTRACT:
A laser treatment apparatus has a hand-piece unit with a laser scanner which deflects a laser beam emitted from a laser source to scan a treatment portion of a patient's skin. In the laser treatment apparatus, the first control device controls the laser scanner to perform a laser scanning irradiation. The detection device detects whether the hand-piece unit is electrically connected with the first control device. When the detection device detects the electrical disconnection of the hand-piece unit to the first control device, the second control device forbids the first control device to conduct the laser scanning irradiation.
