Read What Veterinarians Say About Aesculight and VetScalpel Laser Surgery

With this laser, one can change quickly from a cutting mode to ablating mode. Most of the CO2 lasers are designed primarily for cutting. Ablation with these lasers is very tedious and complicated. In dermatology, most of our procedures require wide-field ablations; cutting is not used as often, so this Aesculight laser is an excellent choice for the skin. Aesculight is the company with its headquarters in the USA. They build the laser entirely in the US, in compliance with and exceeding all the US standards. This laser is of the highest quality and is built to last. It is a laser with engineering that you can rely on, by people who you can trust. This laser is far superior both in quality and safety to all of the foreign-built lasers that are on the market.

Laser surgery is one of the newest surgical innovations available to veterinary medicine. It uses surgical CO2 laser light to cut and cauterize tissue instead of a scalpel blade. It literally vaporizes cells to separate the tissue planes for incisions or to vaporize to remove unwanted cells. While common in human medicine for plastic surgery and other medical procedures for many years, it is now available economically enough for veterinary medicine to benefit...

What Dog Owners Say About VetScalpel and Aesculight Laser Surgery

Our pup healed faster and had less scarring than she would have if she had the traditional surgery! I wished the veterinarian was willing to remove just the ova, leaving the uterus, as I read that this procedure makes for an even faster recovery because it cuts less muscle tissue and leaves even less scarring but in any case, we were satisfied.

We would definitely recommend laser surgery to other pet owners. The cost was the same and the recovery time seemed shorter with less scarring!

In another clinic, my dog was diagnosed with metastatic cancer at age eight with three to six months to live. They offered chemotherapy as the only available treatment option. After relocating to Tampa, Dr. Antunano followed up on the care of my dog. He offered laser surgery with incredible results. My dog is healthy, active and now thirteen-years-old. Periodic laser surgery removes the metastatic skin lesions. My dog does not pick at the surgical sites. At no time does he seem to suffer postoperatively. Many thanks.

What Cat Owners Say About VetScalpel and Aesculight Laser Surgery

Thank you very much for taking such great care of Owen. Prior to surgery, Owen acted like a old cat. He was slow and his coat was greasy with dander. He really did not preen himself nor did he want much to do with the other cats in the household.

What a change since the surgery! He now preens himself, the other cats, the dogs and me. He now seems almost kitten-like in his renewed interest in playing with toys, the other animals and his pet humans. He has also become quite the snuggler.

I am very glad that I made the decision to have the surgery done. Owen has had absolutely no problem recovering from it.

Thank you to Aesculight for providing leads and the encouraging information about laser surgery. I cannot believe all vets have not yet converted to lasers! The cost was not prohibitive, in fact, it was about the same as the old style surgery with a one to two night stay and so much easier on the kittens.

What Other Pet Owners Say About Laser Surgery

With over 4,000 surgical laser installations at veterinary clinics across North America, there are millions of veterinary laser surgeries performed each year. There are tens of millions of companion pets in the USA and Canada who thus far have benefited from the miracles of veterinary laser surgery. These pages are devoted to some of the testimonials that we have received from many happy pet owners about their pets’ laser surgeries.

I took my pet to Boston Road Animal Clinic. It was my first experience with the laser procedure and was pleased with the results. Less trauma to the tissue, quick healing and it didn't seem to be so painful for my pet afterwards. I recommended the laser surgery to a friend and they have already had a similar procedure done!

My dog healed rapidly and with less medication. It looks like she never had a surgery. It's fantastic.

Claude

The laser surgical procedure received by my pet saved her life. Thank you so much for your information and help. Yes, I would recommend laser surgery to other pet owners.

Ridge, NY

The glued sutures were very clean, with no subsequent infection. My animal went home after surgery with pain medication that lasted three days, and she was able to walk comfortably while taking the medication; however, she slept a lot. By the fourth day she was doing well without the medication with limited supervised movement. I feel that the healing process was faster using laser surgery.

We took our pet to Eau Claire Animal Hospital in Eau Claire, Wisconsin. I was glad to hear that the healing time would be faster and less painful. I believe that was so. She was spayed and is healed very nicely.

With reference to Boco's recent surgery using the surgical laser. We were extremely happy with the fact that there was less bleeding and swelling! Boco didn't appear to have much post-surgical pain and her recovery was very quick. We would highly recommend this laser treatment to any pet owner that may be considering surgery. The love and care shown to Boco by our Veterinarian and staff is always appreciated.

Very pleased with the results. Seems to be a great alternative to routine surgery that is far less invasive that by the conventional route with much less pain for the pet!
