BENIFITS OF LASERS OVER CONVENTIONAL SURGERY

·  Lasers have an ability to seal blood vessels thereby achieving haemostasis

·  Lasers seal lymphatic vessels, so decrease post surgical swelling

·  They seal nerve fibres thereby reducing operative and post operative pain

·  Reduces mechanical trauma to tissue

·  Less scarring and greater precision because of the mono chromic coherence qualities

·  Reduces bacterical counts thereby promoting predictable healing with minimal post operative inflammation
