Explanation

A laser excision procedure is a medical process where a doctor uses a special light beam (laser) to remove or cut out abnormal or unwanted tissue from the body. This could be a tumor, wart, or other growth. The laser is very precise, so it can target the problem area without damaging the surrounding healthy tissue. This procedure is often used in surgeries because it can reduce pain and recovery time.
