Warts are not only a nasty blemish on the skin, but also a complex disease that requires complex treatment. The root cause of the proliferation of papillomas is an inactive virus in the human body. Laser removal of warts is a modern, safe method. It is used all over the world: a quick cure and reduced risk of recurrence allows you to get rid of warts in children and adults without consequences.
Modern methods to get rid of warts
A reduced immunity is the premise for the appearance of warts. Clusters grow quickly and can form clusters. You can become infected with the papillomavirus - the cause of the disease - from contact with an infected person or through his or her personal belongings. Regardless of the reason for the appearance of warts, they must be disposed of. The first stage of a comprehensive treatment is to remove all formations on the skin.
Modern methods for getting rid of the warts include radio and laser removal. Destroying a skin tumor with a laser is the simplest and most painless procedure that guarantees consistent results. A small surgery is performed with local anesthesia and does not require long-term preparation. Delicate removal of the buildup is carried out in a specialist clinic and only by an experienced doctor. Stages of the procedure and the doctor's qualifications are a guarantee that the disease will not return in the near future.
Laser removal of warts?
Papillomas can be different in shape and position on the human body. The warts affect the arms, legs, back, and face of both adults and children. There is no age limit for papilloma patients. With the help of laser therapy, the warts can be removed. These are tumors on the feet that develop in the horny part of the skin. Layered, the dead skin turns into a seal with a clearly visible core in the center.
A laser is used to remove common warts: dense, circular warts that grow. Such warts are different from the color of the skin (they are much darker). Over time, common warts increase in size and cause discomfort: they cause severe discomfort and sometimes pain.
Laser therapy is used to remove flat warts. The size of the small forms is not more than 1 cm, the nodules are flat and seen from the side like skin-colored nodules. Flat warts do not protrude much on the skin and are rarely annoying. Before prescribing a laser technique to remove the buildup, an accurate diagnosis will be determined - the wart and its type examined.
Benefits of the process
During the initial examination it is necessary to determine the condition of the tumor. If it is not cancer, it can be removed with one of the modern methods. When it comes to warts of the feet, their removal is carried out in stages - such formations are often rod-shaped that develop in soft tissue. Plantar warts are often painful and uncomfortable when walking. Only with the help of the laser method, the removal of such warts is carried out in one phase, and it allows you to quickly recover from the procedure.
Callus root is hard to remove without recurring later: simple surgical removal is not effective. Laser therapy helps destroy all cells infected with the virus, even those not visible to the naked eye.
Advantages of laser therapy include: the speed of the procedure and the speed of recovery. In total, the removal of the tumor takes no more than half an hour, depending on the complexity of the tumor and the number of warts. The minimum number of contraindications makes laser therapy popular and safe for children. It is allowed to carry out the procedure from the age of 5.
The painless procedure is suitable for people with hypersensitivity: a small amount of medicine and painkillers are used to remove the warts.
After laser treatment, there are almost no scars or hard scars on the affected skin area. Rapid recovery with minimal complications is the main advantages of the procedure compared to other modern techniques. Advanced equipment allows for a small surgery to be performed without causing discomfort to the patient. The patient's rehabilitation is performed at home under his normal conditions.
Contraindicated for this procedure
The effective techniquehas some contraindications. In preparation for the minor surgery, the patient is examined all over the body. Based on the results obtained, the attending physician will evaluate the next treatment options and risks for the patient.
Laser treatment is contraindicated:
- skin rash and herpes;
- advanced dermatitis;
- high blood pressure;
- acute respiratory disease (patient with immunodeficiency after previous illnesses); Malignancy
- .
Pregnant women should refuse the procedure: if possible, laser therapy is postponed until the postpartum period. If a rash of unknown origin appears on the human body, wait a while after removing the warts. Systemic diseases are a direct contraindication to minor surgery.
Thyroid disease does not allow the use of lasers to get rid of nasty warts. Sun allergy is a rare disease that does not allow a laser procedure: in such cases, the fight against warts is carried out with radio wave therapy.
Severe liver and kidney failure is a contraindication to minor surgery. Before using modern techniques, it is necessary to take into account all the possible contraindications that can cause serious complications in adults or children.
How to execute the procedure
The procedure is performed under aseptic condition. Before that, the patient was tested for blood and urine. Based on the results obtained, the anesthetic drug used and the pain reliever that will be needed during laser therapy is determined. The non-invasive method eliminates all skin contact: the patient sits on a comfortable bench in a lying or sitting position. A medication is injected into either side of the wart to relieve pain.
After 5-10 minutes, the drug is injected with effect. Laser beam affects accumulation within minutes. After the procedure, the affected skin area is treated with special means and a bandage.
A half-hour surgery without hospitalization: right after laser treatment, the patient went home on his own.
Treatment and dressing changes are done at home. During surgery, the possibility of bleeding is completely ruled out. If there is no cut in the skin, infection or pathogenic microorganisms cannot enter the wound - secondary infection after surgery is excluded.
Rehabilitation after laser resection
The healing of the warty skin directly depends on the procedure. High-tech laser is completely sterile (bactericidal). It works on the skin and does not cause inflammation - for this reason, it leaves no scars or scars visible on the body. On the laser treatment area, the pathogen of bacteria or virus is completely destroyed. Immediately after the procedure you may feel a little discomfort under the bandage, which should go away soon.
Full skin is restored within 2 weeks (up to a month in people with weakened immunity). A hard crust forms over the treated area: healing occurs underneath. As the skin underneath heals, the crust falls off without further damage.
The crust lasts for about 10 days and is not offensive to humans. New skin appears the third week after the procedure.
Home Care
Home Care includes routine skin care treatments. The patient treats the scales and surrounding skin with an antiseptic. The crust is never torn off or soaked in water - it protects the new skin.
Due to accidental injury, a fungal infection or infection may result. The consequence is that the wound does not heal, and soon new warts appear.
Do not tan until new skin appears: the crust is not exposed to ultraviolet rays. You should not go to the sauna or the solarium during rehabilitation. Visits to swimming pools or open water bodies are excluded. Skin treatment is not allowed after laser treatment with cosmetic products.
Alcohol-based products that dry out the crust are dangerous for the skin. The patient's behavior after laser resection determines its rate of recovery.
