1. A medical laser treatment device comprising a laser generation source and a laser handpiece which comprises a light-guiding fiber coupled to said laser generation source for guiding a laser beam irradiated from said laser generation source, a probe provided at one end of said laser handpiece with an incident end of said probe adjacent to an emission end of said light-guiding fiber for guiding the laser beam to an object to be irradiated, at least two independent first and second air supply passages and at least one water supply passage provided in said handpiece, a light-guiding shield member airtightly coupled to said laser handpiece such that the emission end of said light-guiding fiber is airtightly isolated from the incident end of the probe, and wherein said first air supply passage extends to said emission end of said light-guiding fiber so that dry gas supplied from said first air supply passage cools the emission end of said light-guiding fiber and said second air supply passage extends to said incident end of said probe so that gas supplied from said second air supply passage cools the incident end of said probe, and said water supply passage extends toward a peripheral section of a leading end of said probe such that water supplied from said water supply passage is blown out from the peripheral section of the leading end of said probe.
