In most dermatologic surgical procedures using CO2 lasers, no sutures are required and no post-operative care is needed. The patients don’t bother the lesions because the nerve endings are sealed by the CO2 laser, and thus little to no pain is present after the surgery. The advantages of minimal hemorrhage, precise control of how much tissue to remove, and minimal postoperative swelling make the CO2 laser an invaluable tool in veterinary dermatology.

VetScalpel laser products are successfully used for incision, excision, vaporization, ablation, and coagulation of soft tissue in many veterinary dermatology surgical procedures.
