Cutting-edge Technology

Experience the cutting-edge technology of the LightScalpel CO2 laser at Southern Dental Care in Marrero, LA. This innovative device produces a highly focused beam of laser light that precisely vaporizes tissue while simultaneously sealing blood vessels. Designed with years of expertise in medicine and oral surgery, the LightScalpel laser ensures superior care for our patients.

Unlike traditional surgery with scalpels or scissors, the LightScalpel CO2 laser interacts with tissue using intense laser light, eliminating mechanical trauma. The laser has the remarkable ability to vaporize and remove unhealthy tissue, making incisions, or selectively targeting a few cells at a time. It can even handle substantial tumor removal with precision.

Laser Surgery Advantages

Laser surgery offers numerous advantages. With the LightScalpel laser, you can expect minimized bleeding as the laser beam seals small blood vessels, often eliminating the need for sutures. Swelling and discomfort are reduced due to the laser's effect on lymphatics. The laser's sanitizing effect lowers the risk of infection and promotes faster healing. Additionally, surgeries are shorter as the improved visibility and reduced bleeding save time. You'll experience a faster recovery, thanks to reduced trauma, less pain and swelling, and shorter anesthesia durations. Laser-treated areas also exhibit reduced scarring and wound contraction compared to traditional methods.
