Less Pain, Faster Healing: Modern Laser Surgery for Pets

Gentle. Precise. Designed for Comfort.

When your pet needs surgery, it can feel overwhelming, emotional, and filled with uncertainty about what recovery might bring. You want reassurance that every decision prioritises comfort, healing, and the gentlest possible path forward.

Carbon dioxide laser surgery represents a modern, compassionate approach that focuses on healing while reducing unnecessary trauma during surgery.

It reflects how veterinary medicine continues to evolve to care not just for outcomes but for comfort along the way.

A New Standard in Surgical Precision

Traditional steel scalpels cut tissue mechanically, which can cause pulling, tearing, and added trauma in delicate surgical areas.

Carbon dioxide laser surgery works differently, using focused light energy to vaporise targeted soft tissue with exceptional control. As the laser works, it seals small blood vessels, lymphatics, and nerve endings immediately during the procedure.

This reduces bleeding, limits disruption to surrounding tissue, and supports a calmer surgical environment from the very beginning.

What This Means for Your Pet

• Reduced post-operative pain through sealed nerve endings and decreased inflammatory response
• Reduced inflammation and swelling, supporting improved comfort during recovery
• Smaller, more precise incisions with minimal disruption to surrounding tissue
• Faster, more comfortable healing in suitable cases, with calmer early recoveries
• Fewer complications associated with excessive tissue trauma
• Reduced need for post-operative medications, supporting simpler aftercare when appropriate

Clearer Vision, Trusted Expertise

Carbon dioxide laser surgery creates a remarkably clean surgical field, giving veterinarians improved visibility throughout procedures.

Better visualisation allows greater precision, confidence, and control, especially when working in delicate or sensitive areas.

Only a small number of clinics in Australia have access to an Aesculight carbon dioxide laser. At VetLand Hospital & Emergency, Dr Vicky, Dr Miranda, and Dr Ravneet use this technology routinely.

We are fortunate to combine advanced equipment with experienced surgeons who know when and how to use it best.

This balance of technology, training, and thoughtful judgment supports safer surgery and better recoveries.
