Stages of the procedure for laser removal of growths

Laser treatment for warts requires careful preparation. Direct sunlight should be avoided 7 days before the scheduled procedure, which is especially important in the summer. A protective cream with a high level of SPF should be applied to the problem area where the mole is located. If you decide to remove a wart with a laser, in any case do not come into contact with chemicals on the eve of the session.

You must first undergo a medical examination in the form of tests and analyzes, as a result of which possible contraindications to the procedure will be identified. The essence of the examination is a thorough study of epithelial neoplasm and the selection of the intensity of the effect on foreign cells.

Local anesthesia is almost always used when the laser burns warts. High temperatures are used to burn the mole.

By cauterizing warts and acting on damaged tissues, the laser does not affect healthy areas of the epidermis. Due to the instant clogging of all local capillaries, the risk of bleeding is prevented.

Complete disappearance of the papilloma can be observed 2 weeks after the coagulation session.

Consequences of laser removal of warts

You do not have to worry about the possible consequences of the procedure: after removing the wart with a laser, a small wound forms in its place, which after 2 days becomes covered with a dark scab. It does not bother and disappears on its own in about 7-9 days.

During this period, it is advisable to refrain from visiting the bathhouse, solarium and swimming pool, as the crust should not be allowed to:

  • he got wet;
  • exposed to sunlight;
  • it became damage of various kinds;
  • treated with cosmetics.

If the doctor does everything correctly and professionally (he has to wear special glasses, direct the beam only to the surface and "burn" the accumulation, then attach a special plaster), the patient will not face any consequences. There is no need to worry about a wound or scar at the treatment site.

As for the likelihood of relapses, they occur quite rarely - this can be achieved by exposing the beam directly to the root of the neoplasm. Removing a wart with a laser also rules out the possibility of infection, as the procedure is performed by contactless exposure.

Contraindications to the procedure

In some conditions, the instruction is not removed from such a popular device. This procedure is contraindicated:

  • pregnant and lactating women;
  • people with colds or infectious diseases;
  • at high temperature or pressure;
  • when there is oncology or diabetes;
  • in the presence of herpes at the site of localization of the papilloma.

To remove the wart growth, you need to contact one of the specialized clinics that provide such services. Only in medical institutions are there competent doctors who can provide adequate care. When and where to remove the wart is up to you. The main thing is to take into account the individual characteristics of the body and follow the recommendations of specialists.

What results can you expect?

One of the important points in the laser excision technique is that the rehabilitation period is completely absent. If you get rid of the wart on the face, then a patch with iodine is glued to this area, which is worn for a day.

Thus, the removal of formations with a laser beam will completely exterminate harmful formations on a thin stem and once and for all life. Of course, relapse in most cases is excluded, but in rare cases, papillomatosis may not recede, and the growths degenerate into malignant tumors. Therefore, it is necessary to eradicate the warts in a timely manner using this gentle and popular method.
