Types of Laser Surgery Available Today

By Susan Snailcomb

How would it sound for you that instead of getting hospitalized for one or two weeks after a surgery, to spend in the hospital up to one night then go home? Modern surgery techniques such as laser and laparoscopy made it possible.

All those popular beliefs that laser burns and it may generate cancer are false, so more and more people realize the advantages of laser surgery. Vision correction is much easier and less risky for the patient when lasers are used.

There are many areas where lasers are used: microdermabrasion, acne scars removal, stretchmarks removal, or even eye surgery. Eyes are delicate because if their nerve is touched during an operation, the patient will lose sight. Laser procedures are more precise, so the risk is much lower.

The laser vision correction can get you rid of glasses and contact lenses for good. However, these procedures are not for everybody. They are expensive and you need to have that money, because you cannot use your medical insurance for such things. At least not all kinds of medical insurance.

It is more probable that you get insurance money for a laser eye surgery to prevent you from going blind, rather than obtaining the money for some scars removal or for hair stimulation procedures. Baldness is ugly, but it is not considered medical priority.

These types of laser hair removal are the most popular today: laser comb, Hairmax, diode laser and Pulsed Light laser. I expect most laser treatments users know the value of having laser comb. I want to avoid being reactive about this.

Laser treatment clinics have been opened in many countries. Even poor countries have their rich people who can afford and want to have laser surgery instead of the classical one. They surely love their body and want to offer it the best treatment possible.

Medical sccools already teach the laser methods, so we hope they will soon become mass treatments. This is about progress in technology and in conscience. - 15683
