This is a non-invasive medical procedure used to remove non-cancerous skin lesions.
Procedure
The benign lesion (such as warts, moles, seborrheic keratoses, among others) is first evaluated to ensure it is suitable for this treatment.
Local anesthesia may be applied to minimize discomfort. The plasma laser device generates a small electrical arc that creates a micro-beam of energy. This beam precisely vaporizes the surface of the lesion, removing the unwanted tissue without damaging the surrounding skin.
The duration of the treatment varies depending on the size and number of lesions, but it generally lasts between 15 and 30 minutes. The treated area may appear red and form a scab, which will fall off within a few days. It is important to keep the area clean and protected from the sun until it has fully healed.
Benefits
Plasma laser technology allows for precise lesion removal without damaging the surrounding healthy tissue, reducing the risk of visible scarring compared to other methods. Recovery is generally quick, with minimal post-treatment discomfort.
faqs
Plasma laser is used to treat a variety of skin lesions, including:
- • Warts
- • Moles
- • Cysts
- • Papillomas
- • Early-stage skin cancer lesions
- • Other benign or malignant skin growths
The level of discomfort may vary depending on the location and size of the lesion. However, local anesthesia is usually used to numb the treated area and minimize discomfort. Some patients may feel warmth or mild discomfort during the procedure.
The duration depends on the size and location of the lesion. In general, plasma laser lesion removal typically lasts between 15 and 60 minutes.
Before the procedure, it is recommended to:
- • Inform your doctor about any medical conditions, allergies, or medications you are taking.
- • Avoid applying creams or topical products to the lesion area in the days prior to the procedure.
- • Follow your doctor’s preparation instructions, which may include avoiding certain medications such as anticoagulants.
After the procedure, it is important to:
- • Keep the treated area clean and dry.
- • Apply the creams or ointments prescribed by your doctor to promote healing.
- • Avoid direct sun exposure and use sunscreen.
- • Do not scratch or rub the treated area.
- • Follow your doctor’s instructions regarding physical activity and wound care.
Recovery time varies depending on the size of the lesion and the treated area. Most patients experience initial healing within 1–2 weeks, although the skin may continue to heal and remodel over the following weeks.
Common side effects include redness, swelling, and scab formation at the treated site. In rare cases, infection, scarring, or changes in skin pigmentation may occur. Most side effects are temporary and resolve over time.
The risk of scarring is minimal; however, it may vary depending on the size and depth of the lesion and the patient’s individual healing response. Following post-procedure care instructions helps minimize the risk of scarring.
