What is Laser Surgery?
LASER is an abbreviation for Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission Radiation, and it is a procedure we use for surgery. The carbon dioxide laser delivers an intense beam of infrared light, which sterilises the surgical site and targets the tissue precisely. This limits the damage to the surrounding skin.
