The mode of action of carbon dioxide laser in the removal of corn
The light of the carbon dioxide laser is absorbed in water that is found in every human tissue. During the absorption heat evolves, the cells boil and explode. In the case of corn the carbon dioxide laser evaporates the corn.

The carbon dioxide laser vaporization has several advantages in the removal of corn for the patient and the physician too
