How to animate a mesh that changes through editing?

Question

So I want to change how the mesh looks (through edit mode) so the geometry of the shape changes throughout the animation. So I have a laser but I want my selected faces to be scaling up and down. How can I do this?

Thanks in advance

Please add more information as to what changes you want to happen. — Ray Mairlot, Feb 08 '15 at 18:14
