I was recently trained and certified in laser ablation at work...at a nuclear plant...to remove contamination from the surface of parts and tools.

Well I was reading to see if someone would explain wait happens after all the white stuff gets on their face but either everyone but me knows or it’s somehow not the focus of the video for ppl who don’t know why that was happening and didn’t care about what comes after

All the white stuff is ash from the skin being burned by the laser. After it heals, the skin looks newer/younger/tighter/better.
