Laser treatment is the use of laser pointer beam for disease treatment. In medicine, surgeons can perform high-precision operations with lasers, concentrating the light beam on a small area, thereby causing less damage to surrounding cellular tissues, and achieving therapeutic purposes. Compared with traditional surgery, the use of laser treatment will reduce pain, eliminate swelling and scar formation. However, laser treatment is expensive.

Some people believe that the potential risks of these types of surgery may exceed the benefits they provide. For example, some healthy skin conditions may be aggravated by laser surgery. Because as a typical operation, poor overall health also increases the risk of complications.

A few days before the operation, it is recommended that you take preventive measures, such as stopping taking drugs that may affect blood clotting, such as blood thinners.

For tumor treatment, an endoscope is used to guide the laser to observe the tissues in the body. Insert the endoscope into the body through an opening in the body (eg mouth).
