Abstract
A laser treatment apparatus which irradiates a laser beam produced by a treatment laser source to an area of treatment, the apparatus comprises an irradiation condition setting device which sets irradiation conditions of the laser beam, such as an irradiation area, a laser scanning device provided with a plurality of reflectors including at least a reflector which is continuously rotated in a predetermined direction by a motor to perform a laser two-dimensional scanning on the treatment area, a scanning controller which controls the operation of the laser scanning device, and an irradiation controller which controls the laser source to turn on and off the laser beam depending on the irradiation conditions in correspondence with the operation of the laser scanning device.
