Laser cautery is a medical technique that uses focused light energy to cut or coagulate tissue. This method is often employed in surgeries to minimize bleeding and promote faster healing. The laser's precision allows for targeted treatment, reducing damage to surrounding tissues. During the procedure, a laser beam is directed at the area of interest, effectively vaporizing or sealing blood vessels. This technique is commonly used in various fields, including dermatology, ophthalmology, and dentistry, due to its effectiveness and reduced recovery time compared to traditional surgical methods.
