  • Less pain - the laser seals nerve endings as it cuts, so your pet requires less anesthesia during surgery, reducing the risk of complications. Pain after surgery is also reduced.
  • Less bleeding - the laser seals small blood vessels during surgery.
  • Less swelling - laser energy does not crush, tear, or
    bruise because there is no physical contact with the tissue.

    The benefits of laser surgery to your pet are many:
  • Reduced risk of infection - the laser sterilizes as it
    removes dead tissue, killing bacteria that cause infection.
  • Precision - the laser can remove unhealthy tissue without affecting or removing surrounding healthy tissue.
  • Quick return to normal activities - healing is rapid and there is less post-operative discomfort. It may even shorten time spent in the veterinary hospital!

The laser is especially helpful in any procedure in which precise bleeding control is important, such as dog neuters, spays, declawing cats and small skin mass removals.

Ask you veterinarian if your pet's surgical procedure can be done with laser!
