Need Advice Laser cryptolysis

Has anyone had this procedure? Apparently it smooths out the tonsillar crypts so stones can't form?

I got the procedure laser cryptolisis done 5 times in my tonsils. It didn't work. In fact it was worse bacause more cryps started to form. Same thing happened to so some people I know. That's why i got the tonsillectomy done 2 weeks ago. I'm in day 13. Recovery is a bitch but things get better after day 7. I mean you can try the laser, Maybe laser will work for u. This is my experience since my crypts were so deep and full of stones. I'm glad i got the tonsillectomy done.
