However, our innovative LIFE(TM) laser treatment usingour EVOLVE(R) laser allows us to vaporize prostate tissue that is blocking theurinary tract in a simple, in-office treatment that allows them to return homethe same day with a short recovery time and minimal postoperative risks.Additionally many times the treatment is covered by insurance with an officevisit co-pay."
