One of the latest developments in animal skin care is laser surgery. CO2 laser surgery is an incredible way to correct skin health issues that some pets face. Consider these three major benefits of using CO2 laser surgery to treat benign and malignant growths:

• CO2 Laser Surgery Is Easier For Both The Surgeon And The Pet: Laser surgery allows the surgeon to perform the procedure with greater precision. The laser also makes the surgery field more visible to the surgeon, and the amount of time spent in surgery is generally significantly less than traditional surgery. All of these factors are hugely beneficial to both the surgeon and the patient. These aspects of laser surgery will make the process more seamless and less painful for your pet. 
• The Risk Of Infection Is Greatly Reduced: Any harmful bacteria that could lead to infection will be killed by the CO2 laser beam during the operation. This makes the surgery process much safer and healthier for your pet.
• Less Bleeding And Pain: Pet patients undergoing laser surgery will experience significantly less bleeding post-operation because the laser seals blood vessels as it cuts the skin. The pet will also endure less pain after the surgery because the laser beam seals nerve endings.
