Argon lasers are devices that use argon gas to emit a stream of light with a wavelength that is absorbed only by specific pigments like melanin and hemoglobin, and moves harmlessly through many other materials like fluids. Argon laser therapy uses this technology to address many gastrointestinal symptoms, including dysphagia, mucosal lesions, hemorrhages, and strictures. If you are looking into argon laser therapy in San Antonio, TX, connect with the GI specialists at a San Antonio Gastroenterology Associates location near you to request an appointment.
What are the benefits of argon laser therapy?
Laser therapy, in general, has more precision compared to other methods in that the treatment focuses more on the problematic or diseased tissue. Incisions made are shallower and shorter and create less ensuing trauma to the tissue. Often, patients tend to recover more quickly following laser treatments than from more traditional surgery.
Is argon laser therapy safe?
As with any surgical intervention, risks are present. Still, because of the precise focus of the laser, argon laser therapy is typically thought to be a lower risk than other surgical procedures. Some of the potential risks include pain, reaction to anesthesia, bleeding, and infection. Your health is of the utmost importance to the GI specialists at San Antonio Gastroenterology Associates.

I've been with Dr. Franklin for 10+ yrs and he is an amazing doctor. His bedside manners are superior.
Dr Alvarez was very interested in what I was going through. He ordered test which I need to put my mind at ease.
Dr. Guerra and his staff were excellent He took the time to explain the procedure and what to expect during and after. Nurse Ana was excellent at keeping me clam prior to my procedures.
