What is Laser Therapy
- 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.
What to Expect
Recovery after laser surgeries is similar to that of typical surgery. You may need to rest for the first few days after the operation and take over-the-counter pain medication until the discomfort and swelling have gone down.
Recovery after laser therapy varies based on the type of therapy you received and how much of your body was affected by the therapy.

Treatment
- Photodynamic therapy.
- Laser therapy.
- Laser surgery.
Risk Factors
Laser therapy has some risks. The risks for skin therapy include:
- bleeding
- infection
- pain
- scarring.
- changes in skin color
Some laser surgery is performed while you’re under general anesthesia, which carries its own set of risks. They include:
- pneumonia
- confusion after waking from the operation
- heart attack
- stroke
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.
