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.

How is laser therapy done?
Laser therapy techniques vary based on the procedure.
If a tumor is being treated, an endoscope (a thin, lighted, flexible tube) may be used to direct the laser and view tissues inside the body. The endoscope is inserted through an opening in the body, such as the mouth. Then, the surgeon aims the laser and shrinks or destroys the tumor.
In cosmetic procedures, lasers are usually applied directly to the skin.
