The Laser used correctly in the medical practice offers clear advantages compared with traditional therapies. Theimprovement and even the elimination of many significant skin lesions can be achieved with reduced risks to patients. However, it isimportant to keep security measures and understand the possible effects on an experimental model. The chick embryo is a good model toevaluate the direct effects of non-ionizing radiation for its easy handling and availability. The purpose of this communication is to showour histological findings in organs of the chick embryo with and without protective barrier to be subjected to radiation excimer. We usedthe following issuers: intense pulsed light (excimer Xe-Cl laser of 308 nm wavelength). It was irradiated embryos through an openwindow on eggshells. Aseptically the eggs were kept for 24 hours in an incubator. The protective barriers were used with and withoutcolored glass, latex, cellophane, paper, polycarbonate of different colors and thicknesses. The most outstanding results, with no barrierand barriers with transparent and green were intense marked congestion in capillaries, edema and focus the necrosis. We concluded thatthe tissue changes observed are consistent with possible side effects of these radiations fototérmicos we warned about possible sideeffects when they are applied indiscriminately. We believe it is important to explore different means to safeguard the safety of operators
