An argon laser is a device that uses argon gas to produce a channel of light characterized by a wavelength that is absorbed only by specific pigments, such as melanin and hemoglobin, and moves without impact through many other materials, such as fluids. Argon laser therapy is used to address many gastrointestinal problems, a few of which are hemorrhages, dysphagia, mucosal lesions, and strictures. If you are seeking argon laser therapy in Connecticut, we can help. For additional information about this laser therapy, reach out to our GI specialists at your nearest Connecticut GI location to request an appointment.
What are the benefits of argon laser therapy?
Laser therapies, for the most part, are more precise than alternate methods; therefore, this procedure can focus on only the problematic or diseased tissue. Surgical cuts are made more superficially and shallower and cause significantly less resulting tissue trauma. Patients tend to benefit from more expedited recovery from laser operations than expected from traditional surgery.
Is argon laser therapy safe?
As with any surgery, there are risks. Still, due to the precise focus of laser therapy, it is generally considered a lower risk compared to alternate surgical procedures. A partial list of the associated risks can include reaction to anesthesia, bleeding, infection, and pain. Your safety is of the utmost importance to the gastroenterologists at Connecticut GI. Connect with our practice to hear more about how our procedures keep you safe, while providing you with reliable treatment.
How can I prepare for argon laser treatment?
Our Connecticut clinical team will give you specific preparation directions to adhere to before your argon laser therapy. You may be advised to stop using particular medications that can increase risk during the treatment. You should also plan for some recovery time and travel following your surgery, considering you will most likely remain somewhat sedated. Please do not hesitate to ask any questions that you may have about the argon laser treatment process when you consult with your provider.

Dr.Weiser and everyone at CtGI has been great.From the moment you walk in till the minute you leave, you feel well taken care of.Dr Weiser is very patient, answering all your questions and taking time to explain things thoroughly. Just a top notch doctor,
Hard to get an appointment, but amazing at fixing issues.
I always appreciate Dr. Schamberg’s professionalism and sensitivity.
My experience at Dr. Blanco was pleasant and very efficient. Dr. Emil was friendly and he listened. The whole process at the reception desk was quick. I appreciate the whole experience
Dr. M. Tong is a brilliant and caring physician. Her knowledge and ability to communicate with the patient allows to feel that you are receiving the proper care for your ailment. Dr. Tong's availability reflects her training that was once the norm for all medical doctors. She will go far with this refreshing approach. I've been her patient for 5 years and hope her spark will not be doused by the greedy Healthcare system. I doubt it. Her strength to listen and evaluate with the correct treatment while willing to adjust if needed.
