What is Phimosis?

Circumcision is a surgical procedure to remove the part of the foreskin over the head of the penis. Male circumcision with a laser-based device is more effective and successful as compared to the traditional surgical procedure. The excess foreskin is removed with a laser that ablates the skin and controls bleeding from the skin as well. The laser technology enables a surgeon to remove the exact proportions of skin. It can be performed at males of any age.
