Warts are not only an unpleasant skin defect, but also a complex disease that needs complex treatment. The root cause of papillomas is a virus that lies in the human body. Laser wart removal is a safe and modern method. Used all over the world: rapid healing and minimal risk of recurrence allow warts to be ineffective in children and adults.
Modern method of cleaning warts
Decreased immunity is a condition for the appearance of warts. Growths grow rapidly and can form whole groups. You can be infected with the papilloma virus, which is the root cause of the disease - through contact with the patient or through personal belongings. Whatever the cause of warts, they must be combated. The first stage of comprehensive treatment is the removal of all formations on the skin.
Modern methods of cutting warts include radio wave and laser cleaning. Laser removal of skin neoplasms is the simplest and most painless procedure that guarantees a stable result. Mini surgery is performed using local anesthesia and without additional long-term preparation. Sensitive removal of the structure is performed in a private office and only by an experienced physician. The stages of the procedure and the doctor's habits guarantee that the disease will not recur in the near future.
What types of warts can be removed with a laser?
Papillomas can vary in appearance and location in the human body. Warts affect the arms, legs, back and face of both adults and children. There is no age limit for patients with papillomatosis. With the help of laser therapy, plantar warts can be removed. These are foot neoplasms that develop in the horny part of the skin. Layering turns the dead skin into a seal with a clear core visible in the center.
Laser is used to clean common warts: dense, round growths. Such warts differ in skin color (darker). Over time, common warts grow and irritate: they cause serious discomfort and sometimes resentment.
Laser therapy is used to clear straight warts. The small formations are not more than 1 cm in size, the growths have a flat structure and resemble skin-colored knots on the sides. Straight warts do not rise much above the skin and rarely cause discomfort. Before prescribing a laser method to eliminate the accumulation, an accurate diagnosis is made - the wart and its type are examined.
Advantages of the procedure
During the initial examination, it is necessary to determine the condition of the neoplasm. If it is not cancer, it can be eliminated using modern methods. If we talk about warts on the feet, their removal is carried out in several stages - in such formations often there are rods that grow in the soft tissues. Warts on the feet are always painful and cause discomfort when walking. Removal of such warts only with the help of laser method is carried out in one step and allows you to get rid of the procedure quickly.
Root calluses are difficult to remove without subsequent relapses: simple surgical excision is ineffective. Laser therapy helps to destroy all infected cells, even invisible ones.
The advantages of laser therapy include: speed of the procedure and speed of recovery. In general, the removal of growths does not take more than half an hour, depending on the complexity of the neoplasm and the number of warts. Minimal contraindications make 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 warts.
After laser therapy, there are virtually no scars or severe scars on the affected skin area. Rapid 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 any 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. While preparing for the mini-surgery, the patient undergoes a complete examination of the body. Based on the results, the attending physician evaluates future treatment options and risks for the patient.
Contraindications to laser therapy:
- skin rash and herpes;
- advanced dermatitis;
- high blood pressure;
- acute respiratory diseases (the patient's immune system is weakened after previous illnesses);
- malignant diseases.
A pregnant woman should refrain from the procedure: if possible, laser therapy should be postponed until the postpartum period. If there is evidence of unknown origin in the human body, the removal of warts should be postponed. Systemic diseases are a direct contraindication to mini-surgery.
Thyroid disease excludes the use of laser beams to eliminate unpleasant warts. Sun allergy is a rare disease that does not allow laser procedures: in such cases, the fight against warts is carried out through radio wave therapy.
Severe renal and hepatic insufficiency 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 the procedure is performed
The procedure is performed under sterile conditions. Earlier, the patient underwent blood and urine tests. Based on the results, the type of anesthesia used and the painkillers that will be needed during laser therapy are determined. The non-invasive method excludes any contact with the skin: the person is lying on a comfortable sofa, lying or sitting. A drug is injected into the sides of the wart to reduce any pain.
After 5-10 minutes, the drug takes effect. The laser beam affects the accumulation within a few minutes. After the procedure, the affected skin area is treated with special means and a bandage is applied.
Half an hour of surgery does not require hospitalization: immediately after laser therapy, the patient goes home alone.
Skin treatments and re-dressings are done at home. The possibility of bleeding during the procedure is completely ruled out. In the absence of incisions in the skin, infections or pathogenic microorganisms cannot penetrate the wound - a second postoperative infection is excluded.
Recovery after laser cleaning
The improvement of the skin area 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 - so there are no scars or visible marks on the body. Pathogens of bacteria or viruses are completely destroyed in the laser-treated area. Immediately after the procedure, you may feel a little discomfort under the bandage, it will soon disappear.
The skin completely recovers within 2 weeks (up to a month in people with weakened immunity). A hard crust forms on the treated area: it heals under it. After the lower skin heals, the bark falls off without further damage.
The shell lasts 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 is treated with disinfectants for the bark and surrounding skin. The shell should never be torn or wet - it protects the new skin.
Accidental injury may be due to a fungal infection or infection. Such a result does not allow the wound to heal, and soon a new wart appears.
Do not darken until new skin appears: the skin should not be exposed to ultraviolet rays. You should not go to the sauna or solarium during rehabilitation. Visiting pools or open water bodies is excluded. Skin treatment after laser therapy with cosmetic products is not allowed.
Alcoholic products that dry the skin are dangerous for the skin. The patient's behavior after laser cutting determines the speed of his recovery.
