TLDR
Certain lasers, depending on their wave length, have properties making them specifically applicable to a particular problem; the energy of an argon laser, for example, will pass through the cornea and be selectively absorbed by the pigmented retina.About:

Laser surgery as a treatment for oral leukoplakia.
J Ishii,K Fujita,Takahide Komori +2 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that non-homogeneous leukoplakia on nonkeratinized epithelia, i.e. the tongue mucosa has a high risk for malignant transformation, so lesions should be excised after detecting abnormal epithelIA using vital tissue staining.
