Warts are not only an unpleasant skin defect, but also a complex disease that requires complex treatment. The root cause of papillomas is a virus that lives in the human body. Laser wart removal is a modern technique. It is used all over the world: rapid recovery and minimal risk of recurrence allow children and adults to remove warts without consequences.
Modern method of wart removal
Decreased immunity contributes to the formation of warts. Growths can grow rapidly and form entire clusters. Papilloma virus, which is the main cause of the disease, can be transmitted through contact with an infected person or through personal items. Whatever the cause of warts, they must be controlled. The first stage of complex treatment is the removal of all formations on the skin.
Modern methods of wart cutting include radio and laser cleaning. Laser removal of skin neoplasms is the simplest and most painless procedure, which guarantees a lasting result. Minor surgery is performed under local anesthesia without additional long-term preparation. Careful removal of the constructed items is carried out only in a special room and by an experienced doctor. The stages of the procedure and the qualification of the doctor are a guarantee that the disease will not recur in the near future.
What kind of warts can be removed with a laser?
Papillomas can vary in appearance and location on the human body. Warts affect the hands, feet, shoulders, and face of both adults and children. There are no age restrictions for patients with papillomatosis. With the help of laser therapy, warts can be removed. These are foot neoplasms that form in the horny part of the skin. In layers, the dead skin becomes a seal with a clear core in the center.
The laser is used to remove common warts: the growth of a dense, round structure. Such warts differ in skin color (they are much darker). Over time, normal warts increase in size and become annoying: they cause severe discomfort and sometimes pain.
Laser therapy is used to remove flat warts. The small formations do not exceed 1 cm in size, the plants have a flat structure and resemble skin-colored knots on the sides. Flat warts do not rise much above the skin and rarely cause discomfort in humans. Before prescribing laser equipment to remove the construction, an accurate diagnosis is made - the wart and its type are checked.
Advantages of the procedure
During the initial examination it is necessary to determine the status of the neoplasm. If you do not have cancer, you can get rid of it using one of the modern methods. If we talk about the bones of the legs, their removal is carried out in several stages - in such formations often form rods, which turn into soft tissues. Warts on the feet cause constant pain and discomfort when walking. Only with the help of a laser method is the removal of such a wart performed in one step, which allows you to recover quickly after the procedure.
Vascular callus is difficult to remove without subsequent recurrence: simple surgical incision is ineffective. Laser therapy helps to destroy all the cells that infect the virus, even the invisible ones.
The advantages of laser therapy include: speed of the procedure and speed of recovery. In general, the removal of growth takes no more than half an hour, depending on the complexity of the neoplasm 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 painless procedure is suitable for people with hypersensitivity: a few medications and painkillers are used to remove the warts.
After laser therapy, there are almost no scars or severe scars on the affected area of skin. The main advantages of the procedure compared to other modern techniques are rapid recovery and low probability of complications. Innovative equipment allows small operations to create insensitive discomfort to the patient. Rehabilitation of the patient is carried out at home in his normal conditions.
Instructions against this procedure
An effective method has a number of contraindications. In preparation for the mini-surgery, the patient undergoes a thorough physical examination. Based on the results, the doctor assesses further treatment options and the patient's risks.
Contraindications to laser therapy:
- hot flashes and herpes;
- advanced dermatitis;
- high blood pressure;
- acute respiratory diseases (weakened immune system of the patient after previous illnesses);
- harmful diseases.
A pregnant woman should refrain from the procedure: if possible, laser therapy should be postponed to the postpartum period. If there is an unexplained heat in the human body, the removal of the wart should be postponed. Systemic diseases are a direct contraindication to mini-surgery.
Diseases of the thyroid gland prevent the use of laser light to remove unwanted warts. Sun allergy is a rare disease that prevents laser procedures: in such cases, the fight against warts is carried out using radiotherapy.
Deterioration of kidney and liver disease is a contraindication to mini-surgery. Before using modern technology, it is necessary to consider all the contraindications that can cause serious problems for 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 obtained, the type of anesthesia used and painkillers during laser therapy are determined. The non-invasive method eliminates skin contact: the person sits on a comfortable sofa while lying or sitting. A medicine is injected into the side of the wart, which should reduce the pain.
After 5-10 minutes, the injection takes effect. The laser light affects the concentration for up to a few minutes. After the procedure, the affected area of the skin is treated with special means and bandaged.
Half an hour of surgery does not require hospitalization: immediately after laser therapy he goes home on his own.
Skin treatment and re-dressing is done at home. The possibility of bleeding during the procedure is completely eliminated. If there is no incision in the skin, infections or pathogenic microorganisms will not be able to penetrate the wound - the second postoperative infection is eliminated.
Recovery after laser cleaning
The healing of warts affects the skin directly. 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 scars on the body. Where the laser is used, the bacterium or virus is completely eliminated. Immediately after the procedure, there may be a slight discomfort under the bandage, which will soon disappear.
Within 2 weeks, the skin is completely restored (up to a month in immunocompromised people). A hard crust forms on the treated area: healing occurs under it. Once the lower skin is healed, the crust will fall off again.
The crust lasts for about 10 days and does not cause 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 bark and surrounding skin with disinfectants. The skin should never be peeled off - it protects the new skin.
Accidental injury can cause a fungal infection or infection. This prevents the wound from healing, and soon a new wart appears.
Do not burn until new skin appears: the skin should not be exposed to ultraviolet light. Do not go to the sauna or solarium during rehabilitation. Access to swimming pools or open water bodies is prohibited. Skin treatment after laser therapy with cosmetics is not allowed.
Foods that contain alcohol, which dries the soil, are dangerous to the skin. Behavior of the patient after laser cutting of the structure determines the speed of his recovery.
