Laser Surgery advantages
Less Pain: The laser seals nerve endings as it "cuts". As a result, your pet will experience less pain and be more comfortable post operatively.
Less Bleeding: The laser seals small blood vessels during surgery. This speeds many procedures, reducing the time your pet needs to be under anesthesia, which further reduces possible complications.
Less Swelling: Laser energy does not crush, tear or bruise tissue because the only thing that touches your pet is an invisible beam of light.
Reduced Risk of Infection: As the laser removes diseased tissue, it seals the skin and reduces the amount of bacteria present.
Precision: The laser can remove unhealthy tissue while minimizing adverse effects to healthy surrounding tissue.
Quick Return to Normal Activities: Healing is rapid and there is less post-operative discomfort and a better course of healing. The laser is ideal for a wide variety of surgical procedures for dogs, cats, birds, reptiles, exotics, horses and other pets. Laser surgery is commonly used in soft-tissue surgical procedures. Your veterinarian will be able to tell you if your pet's procedure can benefit from laser surgery.
