An argon laser is a device that uses argon gas to produce a channel of light characterized by wavelength absorbed specifically by pigments including hemoglobin and melanin, and moves without damage through other substances such as fluids. Argon laser therapy uses this therapy to treat a number of gastrointestinal situations, a few of which are hemorrhages, dysphagia, mucosal lesions, and strictures. If you are in need of argon laser therapy in Little Rock, AR, our team can help. To find out more about this laser therapy, contact our gastrointestinal physicians at GastroArkansas to schedule an appointment.

Laser therapies, as a rule, have more precision compared to other methods, with the result being, that the treatment focuses more on the problematic or diseased tissue. Incisions can, therefore, be made more superficially and shallower and cause less ensuing trauma to the tissue. People typically tend to experience a faster recovery from laser surgeries than from more traditional surgery.

Is argon laser therapy safe?

As in any operation, there are risks. Still, due to the focused nature of laser therapy, it is most often considered less of a risk than alternate surgical approaches. A partial list of the associated risks include pain, reaction to anesthesia, bleeding, and infection. Your wellbeing is the primary concern of the GI specialists at GastroArkansas. Discuss with our practice to hear more about the ways we protect your safety while also providing you effective treatment.
