Lasers have been successfully used on humans for over 30 years. This knowledge gained in human medicine is beneficial for your pets. Your pet's health is as important to us as it is to you. Hundreds of veterinarians are offering laser surgery as an exciting new option for safer, more comfortable treatment. In many procedures, the laser can replace the scalpel and provide a better alternative to traditional surgery. |

Why laser surgery?
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.
What does this mean for my pet?
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.
Common
Procedures
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. Common procedures include:
Cat declaw,
spays, neuters, amputations
Oral/dental procedures
Mass removals/dermatology
Avian and exotic procedures
