Find a ProviderWhat is argon laser therapy?
An argon laser is a device that uses argon gas and produces a beam of light with a wavelength that is absorbed only by specific pigments such as hemoglobin and melanin, and passes harmlessly through other materials such as fluids. Argon laser therapy utilizes this technology to treat multiple gastrointestinal conditions including hemorrhages, dysphagia, mucosal lesions, and strictures. For additional information about this laser therapy, contact our gastrointestinal specialists at GI Alliance to schedule an appointment.
What are the benefits of argon laser therapy?
Laser therapies, in general, are more precise than other procedures which means the treatment is more focused on the damaged or problematic tissue. Incisions can be made shorter and shallower and cause less overall tissue trauma. Patients generally tend to recover more quickly from laser operations than from traditional surgery.
Is argon laser therapy safe?
As with any medical operation, there are risks involved. However, due to the focused nature of laser therapy, it is often considered less of a risk than other surgical procedures. Some of the associated risks include pain, reaction to anesthesia, bleeding, and infection. Your safety is extremely important to the GI doctors at GI Alliance. Talk with our team to learn more about how we keep you safe while providing you with reliable treatment.
How can I prepare for argon laser treatment?
Our clinical team will provide you with specific preparation instructions that you should take prior to argon laser therapy. You may be advised to stop taking certain medications that could put you at risk during the surgery. You should also plan for some recovery time and travel following your procedure, as you will still be slightly sedated. Please be sure to ask any questions that you may have about the argon laser treatment process during your consultation.

Dr. Mohkashi is thorough, professional and knowledgeable. His understanding and patient approach is great. He puts the patient first and explains everything in easy to understand language. I would recommend him to anyone requiring a top rated physician in his field of expertise.
My husband has received excellent service from Dr.Ellison, his associates and staff ( good listener, compationate and good sense of humor, which make visits less stressful. Great job guys.
I was referred to Dr. Salameh by my primary care physician Dr. Jaafar. I was very happy with my visit to Dr. Salameh office. I was greeted by friendly clinic staff. I didn't have to wait for my appointment. Dr. Salameh was very professional. He carefully listen to my concerns and answer all my questions to my satisfaction. On the day of the procedure Dr. Salameh went over the procedure with me again and made sure that I understood his explanations. He was calm and reassuring. After the procedure he went over the findings with me , answered my questions and provided me with hard a copy of the procedure and findings. I was very satisfied with a entire encounter. I recommend Dr. Salameh as a GI specialist without any reservations. RBG
