Argon lasers are devices that use argon gas to produce channels of light with a wavelength absorbed only by specific pigments, including hemoglobin and melanin, and that move without damage through other substances like fluids. Argon laser therapy employs this technology to treat a number of GI symptoms, including hemorrhages, dysphagia, mucosal lesions, and strictures. If you are looking into argon laser therapy in Texas, we can help. For more information regarding this therapy, connect with our providers at Texas Digestive Disease Consultants to request a consultation at a location near you.
What are the advantages of argon laser therapy?
Laser therapies typically provide greater precision compared to alternative methods, which means the approach better targets damaged or problematic tissue. This means incisions can be made shallower and shorter, resulting in significantly less ensuing trauma to the tissue. People usually tend to benefit from more expedited recovery following laser treatments than what is expected from more traditional surgery.
Is argon laser therapy safe?
As is the case with any medical operation, risks are still present. Still, due to the focused nature of laser therapy, it is generally considered a lower risk compared to alternate surgical procedures. A partial list of the associated risks includes reaction to anesthesia, bleeding, infection, and pain. Your well-being is of the utmost importance to the gastrointestinal doctors at Texas Digestive Disease Consultants. Consult with our team to learn more about the ways we protect your safety while providing you with reliable treatment.
What should I do to prepare for argon laser treatment?
Our Texas medical team will provide you with individualized preparation directions that you should adhere to in advance of your argon laser therapy. You may be advised to pause the use of specific medications that could put you at risk during surgery. Plan for some recovery time and travel after the procedure, considering you will most likely still be somewhat sedated. Please do not hesitate to ask any questions you might have regarding the argon laser therapy protocol when you consult with your provider.

I was seen while at Saint Elizabeth hospital, I am very impressed with Dr. Holland and the nurse Practitioner from his office. While I was at St. E's I had the best doctors, nurses and staff taking care of me.
Dr.Sana is a great doctor; courteous and takes the time to explain things properly. I feel well cared for under his practice.
Dr vemula was such a pleasure to have as my Dr. He sat and explained every detail and made sure I understood. Easy to ask questions to. I look forward to going through this journey with him as my doctor!
Dr. Nguyen and his staff are extremely professional, kind, and caring. Dr. Nguyen listened and spent a good amount of time discussing the treatment plan. I feel very lucky to have found this practice!
Dr. Krieger is a great doctor. He addressed all my health concerns and didn't rush me. He made sure I understood everything about the testing and procedures I needed to do. He has a friendly and positive attitude, which made me feel comfortable.
