Abstract

A medical handpiece is disclosed which is connected with a laser radiation source via a beam guidance device and by which a laser beam is directed to a treatment area. The handpiece is freely movable to the laser beam source. At least one optical element with a surface which is structured in the micrometer range and which is accordingly micro-optically active is provided inside the handpiece following an exit face of the beam guidance device.
