A wart is not only an unpleasant skin defect, but also a complex disease that requires complex treatment. The main cause of the spread of papillomas is a dormant virus in the human body. Laser wart removal is a safe modern method. Used all over the world: fast healing and minimal risk of recurrence allow you to remove warts in children and adults without consequences.
Modern method of removing warts
Reduced immunity is a prerequisite for the appearance of warts. Growths grow rapidly and can form whole clusters. You can become infected with the papilloma virus - the main cause of the disease - through contact with a sick person or through his personal belongings. Whatever the cause of the warts, they should be treated. The first stage of a comprehensive treatment is the removal of all formations on the skin.
Modern methods of cutting warts include radio removal and laser removal. Laser skin neoplasm removal is the simplest and painless procedure that guarantees a lasting result. A mini-operation is performed using local anesthesia and without additional long-term preparation. Delicate removal of the collection 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 there will be no recurrences of the disease in the near future.
What kind of warts are removed by laser?
Papillomas can vary in appearance and location in the human body. Warts affect the arms, legs, back and face of adults and children. There are no age restrictions for patients with papillomatosis. With the help of laser therapy, plantar warts can be removed. These are foot neoplasms that develop on the horny part of the skin. Layer, dead skin turns into a seal with a clear clear core in the center.
Laser is used to remove common warts: dense and rounded structure growths. Such warts differ in skin color (they are much darker). Over time, common warts grow in size and annoy a person: they cause severe discomfort and occasionally hurt.
Laser therapy is used to remove flat warts. The size of small formations is not more than 1 cm. The growths have a flat structure and in turn resemble leather-colored joints. Flat warts do not rise too much on the skin and rarely cause discomfort to a person. Before prescribing a laser technique to remove the wart, an accurate diagnosis is made - the wart and its type are examined.
Benefits of the procedure
During the initial examination, it is necessary to determine the status of the neoplasm. If it is not cancerous, it can be removed using one of the modern methods. When it comes to warts on the legs, their removal is performed in several stages - such formations often have rods that grow into soft tissues. Warts on the feet are constantly painful and cause discomfort while walking. Only with the help of the laser method, the removal of such warts is performed in one stage, and this allows you to recover quickly after the procedure.
Root calluses are difficult to remove without subsequent recurrence: simple surgical incision is ineffective. Laser therapy helps destroy all virus-infected cells, even those that are not visible to the naked eye.
Advantages of laser therapy include: speed of procedure and speed of recovery. In total, removal of the growth takes no more than half an hour, depending on the complexity of the neoplasm and the number of warts. The minimum number of contraindications makes laser therapy universal and safe for children. It is allowed to perform the procedure from the age of 5 years.
Painless procedure pain is suitable for people with hypersensitivity: a small amount of medication and pain reliever are used to remove the wart.
After laser therapy, virtually no scars or severe scars remain on the affected area of skin. Fast healing and low likelihood of complications are the main advantages of the procedure compared to other modern techniques. Innovative devices allow a mini-operation to be performed without visible inconveniences to the patient. Rehabilitation of the patient is carried out at home in his usual conditions.
Contraindications to this procedure
The effective technique has a number of contraindications. In preparation for the mini-surgery, the patient undergoes a thorough examination of the body. Based on the results obtained, the attending physician evaluates further treatments and risks for the patient.
Contraindications to laser therapy:
- skin rash and herpes;
- advanced dermatitis;
- high blood pressure;
- acute respiratory diseases (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 after delivery. If a rash of unknown origin appears on the human body, it is necessary to delay the removal of warts. Systemic diseases are direct contraindications to 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 laser procedure: in such cases, the fight against warts is carried out using radio wave therapy.
Severe kidney and liver damage is a contraindication to mini-surgery. Before using modern techniques, it is necessary to consider all the contraindications that can cause serious complications in an adult or a child.
How the procedure is performed
The procedure is performed under sterile conditions. Previously, the patient underwent blood and urine tests. Based on the results obtained, determine the type of anesthesia used and the pain medication that will be needed during the laser therapy. The non-invasive method excludes any contact with the skin: the person sits on a comfortable bed in a supine or sitting position. A medicine is injected into the sides of the wart, which should reduce any pain.
After 5-10 minutes, the injected medicine takes effect. The laser beam affects the construction for a few minutes. After the procedure, the affected area of skin is treated with special tools and a bandage is placed.
A half-hour operation does not require hospitalization of the patient: immediately after laser therapy, the patient goes home on his own.
Skin treatments and re-dressings are done at home. During the procedure, the possibility of bleeding is completely ruled out. If there is no incision in the skin, infections or pathogenic microorganisms cannot penetrate the wound - secondary postoperative infection is excluded.
Rehabilitation after laser removal
The healing of an area of skin affected by warts depends directly on the procedure performed. The high-tech laser is completely sterile (bactericidal). It works on the skin and does not cause inflammation - therefore, there are no visible sores or wounds on the body. In the laser-treated area, the pathogen of bacteria or viruses is completely destroyed. Immediately after the procedure, you may feel a little discomfort under the bandage, which will soon disappear.
The skin fully recovers within 2 weeks (up to a month in people with weakened immunity). A strong crust forms in the treated area: healing occurs beneath it. Once the lower skin heals, the crust falls off without further damage.
The bark lasts for about 10 days and does not cause any discomfort to humans. New skin appears in the third week after the procedure.
Home care
Home care includes periodic skin treatments. The patient treats the crust and the skin around it with disinfectant. The bark should never be torn or sunk - it protects the young skin.
Due to accidental damage, fungal infection or infection may occur. Such a consequence does not allow the wound to heal and soon a new wart appears.
Do not remove until new skin appears: the crust should not be exposed to ultraviolet rays. You should not visit the sauna or solarium during the rehabilitation period. Visiting pools or open water bodies is excluded. It is not allowed to treat the skin after laser therapy with cosmetic products.
Alcohol-containing products that dry out the crust are dangerous to the skin. The behavior of the patient after laser removal of the laser determines the degree of his recovery.
