Laser Surgery
A laser is an intense beam of light. When doing surgery I can use this light beam to cut through skin and other tissues.
Why use laser surgery?
As I move the laser through the tissue the light beam's heat seals the nerve endings resulting in less pain. The same light energy also caps small blood vessels resulting in less bleeding. A laser doesn't push down on the tissue as it cuts so there is no crushing or bruising resulting in less swelling.
