Removal of Warts, Molluscs, Fibromas, and Milia

The cosmetic removal procedure for skin lesions (seborrheic keratosis, actinic keratosis, actinic cheilitis, viral skin warts, excluding genital warts) is performed using a laser. The water contained within skin cells absorbs the light emitted by the laser beam. This light energy is converted into heat energy, causing a thermal effect on the water within the cells. Skin lesions are painlessly removed through targeted light pulses. In most cases, a single treatment is sufficient; however, in rare instances, the procedure may need to be repeated.

Some discomfort or pain may be experienced during the procedure. Depending on its intensity, local anesthesia may be used in certain cases. When local anesthesia is required, a topical anesthetic is applied to the skin.

Alternative Diagnostic and Treatment Methods

• Cryotherapy – the skin lesion is removed by destroying it with cold using liquid nitrogen. This procedure is generally more painful, often causes blister formation, and may result in greater damage to the surrounding healthy skin compared to laser treatment.
• Electrosurgery – the skin lesion is destroyed using an electric current. Wound healing typically takes longer than after laser treatment.
• Curettage – the skin lesion is scraped away using a medical instrument called a curette. The wound may bleed more than after a laser procedure.

After the Procedure

After the procedure, the wound may be painful, ooze slightly during healing, and develop a scab. Physical activity is not restricted, and a medical leave certificate is not required. According to your physician’s recommendations, the wound may be treated with prescribed medications and covered with a dressing, which should be changed for 1–3 days until the wound heals. For at least 24 hours after the procedure, exposure to heat, hot water, saunas, and ultraviolet (UV) radiation should be avoided. The treated area may be washed 2–3 days after the procedure. Any dressing that becomes wet after bathing should be replaced. Do not touch, pick, or scratch the scab. For several days following the procedure, avoid using topical products containing tretinoin, retinol, glycolic acid, or salicylic acid.

For optimal treatment results, a dermatologist consultation is required (the consultation fee is added to the procedure cost).
