The Benefits

• Less Pain - The laser seals nerve endings as it moves through tissue. Your pet will feel less pain after surgery.
• Less Bleeding - The laser seals small blood vessels during surgery, resulting in less bleeding and quicker procedures.
• Less Swelling - With laser technology, only light comes into contact with the tissue, causing minimal swelling.
• Extreme Precision - The laser enables your surgeon to only affect or remove the target tissue, leaving the healthy surrounding tissue untouched.
• Reduce Risk of Infection - The high heat of laser energy kills bacteria and micro-organisms as it moves through diseased areas, reducing the chance of infection.
• Quicker Recovery - For all of the above reasons, your pet is likely to feel less discomfort after surgery, and return home to normal activities sooner.
