Laser Surgery

We are proud to offer laser surgery as a progressive new option for our clients who want the safest and least painful treatments for their pets.

Long used in human healthcare, laser technology is a proven service with wide-range applications. Only recently have veterinarians turned to laser surgery, and we are proud to be on the leading edge of advanced animal care.

In many cases, laser surgery can be extremely beneficial over traditional surgery. Your veterinarian will discuss whether laser surgery is the best option for your pet.

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 for infection.
  
  
• Quick Recovery - For all of the above reasons, your pet is likely to feel less discomfort after surgery, and return home to normal activities.

How it Works

A laser is an intense beam of light. Using an instrument that allows it to be precisely controlled, the laser beam replaces the traditional scalpel.

The laser energy instantly vaporizes the water found in tissues, allowing it to "cut" or essentially remove an extremely small area if tissue. This energy seals nerve endings and blood vessels as it moves through the tissue, resulting in less bleeding, less pain and virtually no trauma to surrounding tissue.
