Laser vs. Scalpel Surgery

As technology develops in today’s society, newer and better ways of practicing veterinary medicine are being discovered. As a result, the Animal Clinic of Pinckney P.L.C. is proud to offer laser surgery for your pets. The use of a surgical laser provides many benefits for you and your pet including:

  • Less pain
  • Quicker healing
  • Less bleeding
  • Reduced risk of infection
  • Less trauma

Our surgical laser works by using a powerful, concentrated beam of light to “erase” tissue. This allows the laser to make incisions as well as get rid of unhealthy tissues. When a scalpel or scissors are used for surgery, they can cause bruising and cause more pain and bleeding than laser surgery.
