Laser therapies are medical treatments that use focused light. Unlike most light sources, light from a laser (which stands for light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation) is tuned to specific wavelengths. This allows it to be focused into powerful beams. Laser light is so intense that it can be used to shape diamonds or cut steel. In medicine, lasers allow surgeons to work at high levels of precision by focusing on a small area, damaging less of the surrounding tissue. If you have laser therapy, you may experience less pain, swelling, and scarring than with traditional surgery. However, laser therapy can be expensive and require repeated treatments.

USES

BENEFITS

Lasers are more precise than traditional surgical instruments, and cuts can be made shorter and shallower. This causes less damage to tissue. Laser operations are usually shorter than traditional surgeries. They can often be done on an outpatient basis. You also don’t have to spend the night in the hospital .If general anesthesia is required, it’s usually used for a shorter time. People also tend to heal faster with laser operations. You may have less pain, swelling, and scarring than with traditional surgeries.
