Find a ProviderWhat is argon laser therapy?
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 Sang is an amazing gastroenterologist. My mother and I both see him. The staff is kind, organized and professional. I’ve known Dr Sang now for over 20 years and highly recommend him.
Dr. Cipolla took time to check my records and to listen to my problems. I feel that she is working on solving my health issues and she is doing what is best for me. The staff was pleasant and accommodating.
Dr Zwas was kind and caring from the initial consult all the way to post procedure. Her office staff was available and helpful with any questions I had regarding the procedure, prep, and even insurance.
Dr. Coll is a very knowledgeable gastroenterologist who did a very thorough work-up of my post-chemo GI issue. I needed a colonoscopy, which was arranged and done quickly. The GI center in Torrington was pleasant and efficient and the colonoscopy was done without discomfort or complications. In addition, Dr. Coll is a lovely man with a very nice manner with his patients. I would highly recommend him to anyone needing a GI evaluation.
Dr. Johnson is a great doctor she looks into your problem and cares about your health.
