HOW LASER TREATS
|
The medical application of CO2 laser is based on the principle of Photothermal Ablation .
When CO2 laser is delivered to the soft tissue, the light energy is absorbed by the water
existing in the soft tissue.
By heating up and vaporizing the water, it tears apart the tissue.
To minimize heat transfer to surrounding tissue and reduce collateral heat damage,
the duration of laser beam on the tissue can be controlled (usually less than 1 millisecond).
Since the CO2 laser beam can be precisely controlled and the thermal damage can be of 0.1mm beyond the beam, veterinarians can operate precisely in every laser procedure.
