In most procedures, the laser can replace the scalpel and provide a better alternative to traditional surgery.

                               Why Laser? 

Less Pain: Laser energy seals nerve endings as it moves through tissue. Your pet feels less pain post-operatively.

Less Bleeding: The laser seals small blood vessels during surgery which allows your doctor to perform surgeries with extraordinary precision. This also speeds some procedures reducing the need for anesthesia. 

Less Swelling:  Laser energy does not crush, tear or bruise because only a beam of intense light contacts the tissue.

                  What does this mean for my pet?

Reduced risk of infection: The laser sterilizes as it removes diseased tissue, killing bacteria that causes infection.

Precision: The laser can remove unhealthy tissue while minimizing adverse affects to healthy surrounding tissue.

Quick return to normal activities: Recovery is rapid and there is less post-operative discomfort.

            What types of procedures can a laser perform?

A laser is ideal for a wide variety of surgical procedures for your pets. Laser surgery can correct many common conditions such as cysts, tumors, warts and infections that may occur around the eyes, ears, in the mouth, and anywhere on the skin. Most commonly known procedures include neuters, spays, growth removals and declaws.
