Why Laser Surgery?

 
 

 Less pain – The CO2 laser seals nerve endings as it "cuts", so your pet may require less anesthesia during the operation, reducing the risk of complications. Pain after surgery is reduced also.
 Less bleeding– The laser seals small blood vessels during surgery.

Less swelling – Laser energy does not crush, tear, or bruise tissue because there is no physical contact with the tissue.

Less Stress - to the patient due to less pain, inflammation and bleeding.

Less Inflammation - thus less scratching and licking at the surgical site.

Less risk of infection – The CO2 laser sterilizes as it removes diseased tissue, killing bacteria that cause infection.

Less Recovery Time - Quick return to normal activities – Healing is rapid and there is less postoperative discomfort. Laser procedures can provide reduced trauma and less invasive surgeries for pets, improve recovery time, shorten time spent in the veterinary hospital, and return pets to their home environment sooner.

 Greater Accuracy & Precision – The laser can remove unhealthy tissue without affecting or removing surrounding healthy tissue.
