The 980 Diode Laser Therapy procedure is performed as an outpatient procedure and typically takes one hour or less. Every patient is unique and specific protocols may vary, here’s a general description of the procedure:
1.Before the procedure, your physician may give you oral medication to help you relax and to avoid infection as well as an local anesthesia.
2.Once anesthetized, a cystoscopeis is inserted into your urethra and the laser fiber is then inserted into the cystoscopeto the location of the enlarged prostate.
3.The physician uses the laser fiber to selectively ablate (vaporize) and simultaneously coagulate (control bleeding) the enlarged prostate tissue creating an open channel for urine to flow.
Q: What can I expect after the laser prostate therapy?
You will be sent home within a couple of hours of the treatment. If a temporary catheter is placed, it is typically removed within 24 hours.
Most patients experience an immediate relief in symptoms and dramatic improvement in urine flow usually within 24 hours of the procedure.
You may experience some discomfort such as mild burning during urination (dysuria) and small amounts of blood in your urine (hematuria) which will resolve themselves within a couple of weeks. You may also experience a greater frequency and urge to urinate which will resolve over time as your bladder adjusts to the enhance flow.
However, patients usually notice a dramatic improvement in urine flow and relief of symptoms within a day or two of the procedure.
Q: How many laser treatments will it take to get rid of my hair?
Even though you will notice a difference in hair regrowth after your second treatment, we recommend 3-6 treatments, depending on skin/hair type and growth phase of your hair at the time of treatment.
Q: How long does my hair have to be for the laser treatment?
You should shave before you arrive for your appointment as the laser doesn’t need a follicle to grip but do not wax or pluck. Don’t worry, we will gladly shave the unreachable areas prior to your treatment.
