Precision and Advantages of CO2 Laser Frenectomies
Peninsula Tongue Tie proudly uses a DEKA CO2 laser to perform frenectomies. CO2 lasers that operate at 10,600 nanometers (or 10.6 micrometers) are considered to be the gold standard when performing laser frenectomies. When consulting with frenectomy providers, please ask what type of lasers they use and at what frequency. All lasers are not the same!
The CO2 laser is known for its precision and ability to make controlled incisions. Our CO2 laser operates at the optimal 10,600 wavelength. It operates by delivering laser energy that vaporizes or ablates the tissue. When used for frenectomy procedures, the CO2 laser can effectively remove or modify the frenulum while minimizing bleeding and reducing the risk of damage to surrounding tissues.
There are several advantages associated with using the CO2 laser for frenectomy procedures, including:
It's important to note that the use of lasers in frenectomy procedures requires skill and expertise. Therefore, it is typically performed by trained healthcare professionals with appropriate laser certifications. If you are considering a frenectomy procedure, it is recommended to consult with a qualified healthcare professional who can assess your specific situation and determine the most suitable treatment approach for you.

There are several advantages associated with using the CO2 laser for frenectomy procedures, including:
- Precision: The focused laser beam allows for precise cutting and sculpting of the tissue, which can be beneficial when dealing with delicate oral structures.
- Minimized Bleeding: The CO2 laser seals small blood vessels as it cuts, resulting in reduced bleeding during and after the procedure. This can improve visibility for the surgeon and reduce the need for sutures or stitches.
- Reduced Discomfort: The CO2 laser cauterizes nerve endings as it cuts, which can lead to less post-operative pain and discomfort compared to traditional techniques.
- Reduced Risk of Infection: The high-temperature laser energy sterilizes the area as it cuts, minimizing the risk of infection and promoting faster healing.
- Faster Healing: The precision and reduced trauma associated with CO2 laser frenectomy can result in faster healing times compared to traditional surgical techniques.
