It seals them so that the mark becomes less conspicuous. The normal cells on the skin’s surface, which don’t absorb much of the laser beam, act in the healing and help to conceal the mark. 1.In the first paragraph, the laser is used to treat ______. a. bone b. birthmarks c.eardrum d. deafness 2.How is the laser used in ear surgery ?. a.to vaporise the bone b.to touch the surrounding tissues c. to solidify the bone d.to carry sounds from the eardrum to the nerves 3.
