The CO₂ laser is a minimally invasive, dependable surgical modality that yields predictable results. The flexible fiber 10.6 micrometer LightScalpel CO₂ dental laser is a precision photo-thermal ablation device with excellent coagulation due to the close match between the diameters of oral soft-tissue capillaries and the coagulation depth (controlled by laser wavelength and pulsing characteristics). LightScalpel surgeries often do not need sutures and typically are followed by scar-free healing. The CO₂ laser’s ability to treat the soft tissue in a non-contact mode reduces the risks of infections and complications.
