LASER-assisted techniques

Laser-assisted techniques use focused beams of intense light to perform precise medical or surgical tasks. The laser's energy can cut, vaporize, or coagulate tissue with minimal damage to surrounding areas. These methods offer benefits like reduced pain, faster healing, and improved accuracy compared to traditional procedures. Common applications include eye surgeries (like LASIK), skin treatments, and certain cancer treatments. By targeting specific tissues precisely, laser-assisted techniques enhance outcomes and often lead to less invasive procedures.
