Laser removal of warts on the face, 1 mm in diameter 500

Warts (papillomas) are manifestations and symptoms of papillomavirus infection, the source of which is the human papillomavirus (HPV). These benign neoplasms look like a nodule of keratinized skin. The variety of warts that appear on the skin of the face are classified as vulgar, as are those that appear on the hands and fingers. The flesh-colored or pinkish color of these growths darkens over time.

Despite the benign nature of warts, it is better to get rid of them due to their ability to multiply. If they affect the face, it is also a source of constant stress. The habit of scratching formations on the face is common to many people, especially teenagers, which can lead to injury and infection.

Never try to remove a wart yourself. At best, this can lead to difficult-to-treat skin defects, at worst - to degeneration into a malignant tumor.

Removal of papillomas on the face is also indicated when they are rapidly growing, noticeably changing color, shape, or multiplying. Until recently, there were invasive methods for removing these manifestations of papillomavirus infection - surgical excision, cryodestruction, electrocoagulation. All of them involve dissection of the tissue surrounding the wart, which is dangerous due to the formation of postoperative scars. Modern laser cosmetology technologies make it possible to use a laser beam configured according to certain parameters to remove warts.

Wart removal methods

Today, there are several of the most well-known and proven methods for removing warts.
Among them: - Cryodestruction is the effect of low temperatures on a neoplasm. Liquid nitrogen is used here. If the wart is small, then use a cotton swab soaked in nitrogen. If the tumor is large, then you will most likely need to use a special device with a needle. Liquid nitrogen acts instantly; it freezes cells and stops their development. This leads to tissue death. The procedure itself is painless. However, the downside is that after such removal a hole remains on the skin.

— Electrocoagulation – high frequency current is used here. Before the procedure, the patient is given pain medication. When exposed to current, water evaporates from the cells of the neoplasm, which leads to their death. A crust appears at the removal site, which falls off on its own after a few days. However, be careful, a small white spot may remain on the skin.

— The radio wave method is the use of high-frequency radio waves. Warts are cauterized at the base, and coagulation of the blood vessels occurs, so the procedure is completely bloodless. It is worth noting that after removal, the patient may experience swelling and redness that lasts up to two days.

— Laser removal — today this is the most popular and effective method of excision of warts from the skin. The laser acts delicately without damaging surrounding tissue. It precisely burns out the tumor. The wound becomes covered with a crust, which falls off on its own after a week. Pink skin remains underneath, which heals over time.

Advantages of the laser method:

  • painless
  • fast
  • removal occurs in one procedure
  • no risk of relapse
  • leaves no scars or scars on the skin


Contraindications

During the consultation, the doctor will definitely find out whether the patient has contraindications to laser treatment, including:

  • oncological diseases;
  • viral and infectious diseases;
  • stage of destruction of chronic diseases;
  • exacerbation of diabetes mellitus;
  • blood diseases;
  • dysfunction of the circulatory system, hematopoietic organs;
  • mental illness;
  • inflammation in the affected area.

When the first signs of HPV appear in the form of vulgar warts, sign up for a consultation with specialists at the dsclinic laser cosmetology center in Moscow by calling the single phone number indicated on the website.

How does removal and healing occur after the procedure?

The procedure is performed in a doctor's office under sterile conditions. The specialist uses a high-tech surgical laser device, the beam of which will burn out the tumor. High temperatures kill the viruses that cause the wart.

Main stages of the operation

The patient is positioned on the couch in such a way that the doctor has comfortable access to the affected area of ​​the body. Anesthesia is injected on both sides of the wart to help reduce pain. The drug begins to act after 10 minutes.

Next, the process of evaporating the wart, or rather its root, occurs. When the beam acts on the growth, there is no direct contact of the laser with the skin, which eliminates tissue injury and bleeding. Infection in the wound under such conditions is impossible.

The duration of the laser therapy procedure is 20–30 minutes. After this, the area where the wart was is treated with disinfectants and a bandage is applied.

This operation does not involve hospitalization of the patient, so you can go home immediately after it. Skin treatment and subsequent dressings are carried out independently.

Important!

During one laser therapy session, several growths can be removed at once.

Does cauterization hurt?

Laser wart removal is considered a painless procedure. However, in some cases, mild pain may still occur on nearby skin. It is short-lived and should not cause concern.

Post-procedure care

At the site of the removed wart, a dark brown crust forms, under which the healing process occurs. It is protective, so it should never be torn off. After some time, it will fall off on its own without causing any pain.

After this, the skin begins to recover. With proper wound care, the likelihood of scarring is minimized.

It will take 1-2 weeks for the wound to completely heal after surgery. For people with weakened immune systems, this process takes about a month.

Important!

Throughout the entire rehabilitation period, it is imperative to follow all the recommendations of the attending physician and carry out the prescribed procedures. This will help prevent relapses.

In the first days after surgery, it is necessary to periodically treat damaged skin with antiseptic agents that speed up the healing process. For this you can use brilliant green, iodine, fucorcin.

Then it will be enough to lubricate the site of removal of the growth with anti-inflammatory drugs, for example, solcoseryl or methyluracil. In addition, the patient must comply with the following care rules:

  • do not expose the removal site to mechanical damage (impacts, cuts);
  • do not use cosmetics;
  • prevent exposure of the wound to ultraviolet rays (do not sunbathe, do not visit a solarium);
  • do not swim in pools and open water.

What are plantar warts?

Plantar or horny warts form exclusively on the feet and the skin directly adjacent to them. They owe their name to their permanent location. At first, such formations are easily confused with a callus or corns, but over time, the symptoms of a viral formation become more obvious. Their distinctive features include:

  • approximate sizes from 5 to 20 millimeters in diameter;
  • round, regular shape;
  • flesh-colored, whitish, slightly yellowish color, turning into a darker color over time;
  • complete absence of internal papillary pattern;
  • absence of pain in the first stages and significant discomfort later (in the center of the growth and in the tissues adjacent to it);
  • development of an inflammatory process around the wart (not necessary, but quite possible).

Cost of the procedure

In different cities, prices for laser therapy vary from 300 to 3 thousand rubles for the removal of one wart. It all depends on the type of growth, its location on the body, size and nature.

In addition to eliminating growths, it is important to prevent their reappearance. To do this, you need to lead a healthy lifestyle and strengthen your immune system. It is mandatory for every person to follow simple hygiene rules:

  • do not wear other people's clothes and shoes;
  • use only your own towel;
  • prevent sweating of hands and feet;
  • wash your hands with soap after walking or visiting public institutions.

If neoplasms are detected on the body, you should not self-medicate, but immediately consult a doctor.

Wart removal methods

Long-known folk remedies for combating such neoplasms are spells, juices of various plants (celandine, dandelion, garlic, wormwood, Kalanchoe, etc.), compositions from improvised means. Their use will not cause harm, but their effectiveness is based mainly on the effect of self-hypnosis.

In modern medicine, much more effective methods are used to remove heel, body, facial and other warts:


  • chemicals based on various acids. Not suitable for mucous membranes and may require repeated use;

  • Even if the price of surgical removal of a viral wart is quite low, this method is used extremely rarely today - to combat large tumors or tumors that have merged from several papules. It requires long-term rehabilitation and leads to the formation of a noticeable scar;
  • The radio wave method is universal, but the cost of removing warts with Surgitron does not always correspond to the quality of the final result, since it often leads to the formation of a long-healing blister;
  • small warts after preliminary anesthesia can be effectively removed by electrocoagulation - without bleeding or scars;
  • Among the most successful and progressive methods is laser removal of periungual and other warts. It provides equally good therapeutic and cosmetic results.

Warts: origin and types

The appearance on the skin of extremely unesthetic benign neoplasms - warts - as well as papillomas, is caused by the activation of the papilloma virus (HPV) that lives in the body of many people. Due to autoinoculation (self-infection), warts can spread to all parts of the body, for example, appearing on the heel, ending up on the foot and rising higher and higher.

The most common 5 types of warts are common, plantar, flat, genital warts and senile keratomas.

Advantages of the chosen method

Plantar warts can be eliminated not only with a laser, but also surgically, and, if necessary, freezing with liquid nitrogen. However, it is the procedure based on laser exposure that has become so widespread and has received numerous positive reviews. The main advantages and disadvantages of this procedure include:

  • Possibility of spot treatment (thanks to settings such as the depth of exposure and the diameter of the beam, the specialist can eliminate only the growth itself, without affecting the healthy skin around it).
  • Complete painlessness.
  • Short term (the whole procedure takes about 15-20 minutes).
  • No need for special wound care.
  • Almost complete absence of side effects.
  • The ability to save education for later study.

Treatment of young patients

Children also have warts on the surface of their feet. Because of them, the child feels pain and discomfort when walking. At the initial stage of development of a neoplasm, you should immediately see a dermatologist.

Wart removal in children is also performed with a laser under local anesthesia. After the intervention, it is better to apply a plaster and bandage the leg so that the child does not try to tear off the crust that forms after cauterization. If it is opened, there is a high risk of infection entering the body.

Other infectious diseases

To answer the frequently asked question, what could be the consequences of removing a wart with a laser, we can say with confidence that this is an almost completely safe method that does not entail any negative consequences, and also leaves virtually no scars from a cosmetology perspective.

However, what to do if a wound appears after laser removal of a wart. Firstly, the appearance of a wound can be caused by deep damage to the skin by a wart, when its roots have gone deep under the skin and the treatment was most intensive.

In this case, it is important to maintain maximum sterility, try not to wet the wound as much as possible, do not use various ointments, do not “dry” it with iodine, avoid sunlight, and do not touch it with your hands. Use only light disinfectants.
