A wart is not only an unpleasant skin lesion, but also a complex disease that needs complex treatment. The main cause of the spread of papillomas is a virus that is dormant in the human body. Laser wart removal is a safe modern method. It is used all over the world: fast healing and minimal risk of recurrence allows you to remove warts in children and adults without consequences.
Modern method of wart removal
Decreased immunity is a prerequisite for the appearance of warts. The growths grow rapidly and can form entire clusters. Infection with the papilloma virus - the main cause of the disease - can be through contact with a sick person or through his personal belongings. Whatever the reason for the appearance of warts, they must be dealt with. The first phase of a comprehensive treatment is the removal of all formations on the skin.
Modern methods of nipple excision include radio wave removal and laser removal. Destroying a tumor on the skin with a laser is the simplest and most painless procedure that guarantees a stable result. The mini operation is performed under local anesthesia and without additional long-term preparation. Delicate removal of accumulations is performed in a specialized office and only by an experienced doctor. The stages of the procedure and the qualifications of the doctor are a guarantee that the disease will not recur in the near future.
What kind of warts are laser removed?
Papillomas can vary in appearance and position on the human body. Warts affect the arms, legs, back and face of adults and children. There are no age restrictions for patients with papillomatosis. Plantar warts can be removed with the help of laser therapy. These are neoplasms on the foot that develop in the horny part of the skin. Layered dead skin turns into a seal with a visible clear core in the middle.
Laser is used to remove common warts: growths of dense, rounded structure. Such warts differ in skin color (they are much darker). Over time, the usual warts increase and irritate the person: they bring serious discomfort and occasionally hurt.
Laser therapy is used to remove flat warts. The size of small formations is not larger than 1 cm. The growths have a flat structure and on the sides resemble skin-colored nodules. Straight nipples do not rise much above the skin and rarely cause discomfort in a person. Before prescribing a laser technique for removing accumulations, the correct diagnosis is determined - the nipple and its type are examined.
Advantages of the procedure
During the initial examination, it is necessary to determine the status of the neoplasm. If it is not cancer, it can be removed by modern methods. When it comes to warts on the feet, their removal is done in several stages - such formations often have rods that grow in the soft tissues. Warts on the feet are constantly painful and cause discomfort when walking. Only with the help of the laser method, the removal of such warts is carried out in one phase and allows you to quickly recover from the procedure.
Root blisters are difficult to remove without subsequent recurrences: simple surgical excision is ineffective. Laser therapy helps destroy all cells infected with the virus, even those that are not visible to the naked eye.
The benefits of laser therapy include: speed of procedure and speed of recovery. The total removal of the growth takes no more than half an hour, depending on the complexity of the tumor and the number of warts. The minimal number of contraindications makes laser therapy universal and safe for children. The procedure is allowed from the age of 5.
The painlessness of the procedure is suitable for people with hypersensitivity: a small amount of medication and painkillers are used to remove the wart.
After laser therapy, there are practically no scars or hard scars on the affected area of the skin. Fast recovery and low probability of complications are the main advantages of the procedure compared to other modern techniques. Innovative equipment allows mini-surgery to be performed without noticeable discomfort to the patient. Rehabilitation of the patient is carried out at home in his usual conditions.
Contraindications to this procedure
An effective technique has a number of contraindications. In preparation for the mini surgery, the patient goes through a complete body examination. Based on the results obtained, the physician assesses further treatment and risks for the patient.
Contraindications for laser therapy:
- skin rash and herpes;
- advanced dermatitis;
- high blood pressure;
- acute respiratory diseases (the patient has a weakened immune system after previous illnesses);
- malignant diseases.
A pregnant woman should refuse the procedure: if possible, laser therapy is postponed until the postpartum period. If a rash of unknown origin appears on the human body, it is necessary to delay the removal of warts. Systemic diseases are a direct contraindication for mini surgery.
Thyroid disease precludes the use of a laser beam to remove an uncomfortable wart. Sun allergy is a rare disease that does not allow the laser procedure: in such cases, the fight against warts is carried out by radio wave therapy.
Severe kidney and liver damage is a contraindication for mini surgery. Before using modern techniques, it is necessary to take into account all the contraindications that can cause serious complications in an adult or a child.
How to perform the procedure
The procedure is performed under sterile conditions. Previously, the patient undergoes blood and urine tests. Based on the obtained results, the type of anesthesia and painkillers that will be needed during laser therapy are determined. The non-invasive method excludes any contact with the skin: the person sits on a comfortable couch in a lying or sitting position. A medicine is injected on the sides of the nipple that should reduce the pain.
After 5-10 minutes, the injected drug takes effect. The laser beam affects the accumulation for a few minutes. After the procedure, the affected area of skin is treated with special means and a bandage is applied.
Half-hour surgery does not require hospitalization of the patient: immediately after laser therapy, the patient goes home alone.
Skin and coating treatments are performed at home. The possibility of bleeding is completely ruled out during the procedure. If there are no cuts on the skin, infections or pathogenic microorganisms cannot penetrate the wound - secondary postoperative infection is excluded.
Rehabilitation after laser removal
Healing of the area affected by warts directly depends on the performed procedure. The high-tech laser is completely sterile (bactericidal). It works on the skin and does not cause inflammation - for this reason, no scars or visible scars remain on the body. In the laser-treated area, the pathogen of bacteria or virus is completely destroyed. Immediately after the procedure, you may feel a slight discomfort under the bandage that will soon disappear.
The skin is completely regenerated within 2 weeks (up to a month in immunocompromised people). A hard crust forms in the treated area: healing occurs below it. Once the lower skin heals, the bark falls off without further damage.
The bark lasts for about 10 days and does not cause discomfort in humans. New skin appears in the third week after the procedure.
Home care
Home care includes periodic skin treatments. The patient treats the bark and the skin around it with disinfectants. The bark should never be torn or soaked - it is a protection for new skin.
Accidental injuries can lead to fungal infection or infection. Such a consequence does not allow the wound to heal, and soon a new wart appears.
Do not darken until new skin appears: the bark should not be exposed to ultraviolet rays. You should not visit the sauna or solarium during the rehabilitation period. Visiting swimming pools or open water bodies is excluded. Skin treatment after laser therapy with cosmetic products is not allowed.
Products that contain alcohol that dries the skin are dangerous to the skin. The patient's behavior after laser removal of accumulations determines the speed of recovery.
