ABOUT THE PROCEDURE

Erbium:YAG laser technology began to develop around 1995. The development of its’ main system which is an ablative laser remains as a high standard in mole, wart, papilloma, keratosis and other dermal benign derivative treatments.

 

Laser papilloma removal provides astonishing results, since about 95% of cases leave no signs and scars, and the remaining 5% cases show only minor changes. Laser papilloma removal is a very short procedure that in most cases does not require any anaesthetic drugs.

 

German Erbium YAG technology MCL 31 Dermablate laser is an effective and convenient way to treat papillomas - only a patch and some antibacterial cream are used after the procedure.

AM I A SUITABLE CANDIDATE?

​

A small amount of local anaesthetic is injected around or below the area which is going to be treated. It’s done using a thin needle, and even though local anaesthetic usually burns a little bit, the feeling is temporary and easily tolerated. Local anaesthetic will make the area numb, so the laser beam will be painless and won’t cause any discomfort during the entire procedure.

​

DURING THE PROCEDURE

​

Laser beam is focused at the exact area that needs to be treated, as it causes the water absorption in cells. Absorbed energy causes further cell evaporation. On average, the laser removes around 30 to 50-micron tissue at a time. An incredible control leads to precise doctor hand accuracy when removing skin derivatives.

 

It is important to emphasize that laser treatment determines the derivative’s elimination in microscopic level, so usually there is no need for morphological tissue analysis for precise diagnosis afterwards. 

​

AFTER THE PROCEDURE

​

After the laser treatment you should keep your skin away from the sunlight to protect it from the UV rays. Keep an eye on the treated area until its colour matches with your natural skin colour. It’s also recommended to stay away from cosmetic products, as they can cause a burning feeling in the treated area.

 

Care after this treatment is very basic – simply use an antibacterial cream twice a day. Facial skin recovery mainly takes about 5-7 days; however, changes of the body skin might last longer, about 10-16 days. Recovery is very similar to scar healing, at first it looks like a wound, then after a week it heals up and becomes pink, where finally the colour gradually develops to match your natural skin tone. One week after the treatment you can begin to use cosmetic products on the treated area, but it is crucial to protect the area from direct sunlight for at least 2 months. 

The complication rate after laser mole removal is very rare. Sometimes the treated skin’s surface can be uneven compared to the skin around it, or it may be a bit risen above the skins surface, or a bit hollow, but it normalizes with time. 

​

Remember:

​

It is not recommended to rub or scratch the treated area, because it can cause local inflammation and purulent secretion;

Make sure the hands are hygienic before applying the antibacterial cream on the treated area.
