New growths on the face worsen the appearance, so when they appear, people rush into a panic. There are many varieties of them, which is why the treatment is carried out in different ways. Fortunately, most of the unpleasant formations on the surface of the face can be eliminated with a laser. This method is gentle, but has its own characteristics.
The article will tell you about what neoplasms are on the face, and how they can be painlessly eliminated. Since the laser action promotes the accelerated division of epithelial cells, the tissues regenerate quite quickly and there are no traces left in the form of scars and scars, as in other surgical operations.
Neoplasms
In fact, all neoplasms on the face and other parts of the body are the result of a violation in the reproduction of cells that have not yet reached maturity. As a result of some disease, cells can cease to perform their functions in full, which is manifestedoutside.
Today, there are benign and malignant neoplasms of the face, as well as precancerous conditions of the skin. The former do not pose a threat to human life, but in certain cases they can worsen the functioning of internal organs and systems. Malignant tumors increase in size quite quickly, are prone to recurrence and can be fatal if measures are not taken in a timely manner. As for precancerous conditions, they are neoplasms that are modified due to hereditary or current causes, thereby transforming into malignant tumors.
Laser exposure
Removal of neoplasms on the face with a laser is the most common solution to the problem. Almost all defects on the surface of the skin lend themselves to this method. The procedure is painless and does not cause any discomfort.
Purpose of procedure
The laser is able to eliminate even neoplasms on the face, located in the most inaccessible places, including the mouth (if the tumor appeared both outside and inside). The purpose of this removal is to achieve all of these objectives:
- elimination of skin pathologies;
- preventing a benign tumor from becoming precancerous;
- obtaining a good cosmetic result without traces after surgery;
- reducing the risk of complications and recurrence of neoplasms.
Method and process
OnToday, in order to eliminate neoplasms on the skin of the face, a CO2 laser is used. The procedure is based on the evaporation of fluid from the cells of moles, atheromas and other formations on the surface of the integument. This is done with a laser beam, gaining a temperature of up to 100 degrees at the site of tissue destruction.
The skin around the eyes is treated very carefully. To do this, it must be heated to 70 degrees - this is exactly the temperature at which harmful bacteria are destroyed.
Angioma
Carbon dioxide laser is able to quickly and painlessly remove neoplasms on this type of face. This vascular formation is eliminated in layers. In the process of processing the affected area with a laser, he althy tissues that are nearby are in no case affected. The specialist carefully controls the depth of laser exposure and does not allow it to increase.
The defect is eliminated in just one session, the duration of which is 5 minutes. For each patient, only local anesthesia is used, as it is quite sufficient even for the most sensitive patients. It will take a week to restore the covers.
Angioma removal is a fear of many people. But in fact, their fear is not justified. In the process of carrying out the manipulations and after their completion, bleeding does not appear and no traces remain. The laser in this case is considered the most effective and safest way to solve the problem.
Atheroma
Tumor sebaceousglands are a not too painful neoplasm on the face. It is not in vain that it is referred to the types of common formations on the surface of the skin. Atheroma is small and smooth. To eliminate it, layer-by-layer vaporization is used. Here, first of all, its contents are eliminated, and only after that - the capsule itself. This is done to prevent relapses.
If the size of the neoplasm is larger than the standard, a combined method is used. In this case, a laser alone will not be enough, and a surgical scalpel will also be required.
The procedure takes no more than 20 minutes. After it, an excellent cosmetic effect is noticeable. Bleeding and pain during the operation is not observed. In this case, the duration of recovery reaches 10 days.
Basalioma
White neoplasms on the face, although they are not a big problem, some people still want to quickly eliminate them. In this case, the carbon dioxide laser acts by layer-by-layer evaporation. Here, in no case do not touch he althy areas of the skin, since the beam does not come into direct contact with the integument. For this procedure, local anesthesia is sufficient, which is carried out using special means - anesthetics, as well as cold protection.
The duration of the session does not exceed 20 minutes. After treatment, a crust appears on the affected area, but over time it disappears on its own. In its place, scars or bleeding do not appear. It takes 10 days to recover. This method is often used to eliminate neoplasms on the skin of the face inold age.
Wart
In the case of a wart, the removal process also takes place with anesthesia. Accuracy and accuracy are important here, since he althy areas should not be affected. The neoplasm is eliminated along with the root using the evaporation method.
One session is enough to eliminate a wart. It takes about 5 minutes. And the recovery lasts exactly a week.
A wart can turn into a malignant tumor, so it is best to eliminate it in a timely manner. A photo of the neoplasm on the face is presented below.
Botriomycoma
Oddly enough, botriomycomics can also be removed with a laser beam. The evaporation of liquid molecules from the neoplasm plays an important role here. It happens very quickly, so one session takes no more than 15 minutes. As for the recovery period, it lasts 7-10 days, depending on the individual characteristics of the person.
Keratoma
Removal of neoplasms on the face with a laser depends on the size of these formations. Keratomas, for example, can be both small and large. In the first case, they are eliminated by exposure to a carbon dioxide laser. In this situation, the specialist conducts cell vaporization. If the formations are enlarged, then the laser beam is used as a scalpel, after which the affected tissues are subjected to histological examination.
Keratomas of any size are eliminated in one procedure. The session lasts up to 5 minutes. Ultimately, on processedthe integument does not leave scars and scars, but only an excellent cosmetic effect is obtained. In isolated cases, relapses occur. Recovery will take no more than 5 days.
Dermal horn
This neoplasm is the most unpleasant for most people, as it looks like a real horn, but not so big. As a rule, it is formed in old age in open areas of the integument.
The method of layer-by-layer evaporation is used to eliminate the defect. This is done exclusively under local anesthesia. A cooling system is used to numb the pain.
The procedure does not last too long - up to 5 minutes. Rehabilitation takes 5-6 days. There are no traces left after the operation.
This method is especially effective in the case of an early stage of neoplasm progression. If you deal with it in time, there is a chance to completely eliminate the occurrence of relapses.
Condyloma and papilloma
If it is necessary to remove neoplasms on the face of this type, then a neodymium or carbon dioxide laser is used. This is where the evaporation process comes into play. Local anesthesia is used during the procedure. Thanks to the laser, the virus does not pass to he althy tissues.
The procedure lasts only 10 minutes. The rehabilitation period is 7 days. During this time, the tone of the covers has time to become more even. Scars and scars after the session never remain.
Molluscum contagiosum
Laser removal of neoplasms on the face in this case is performed withcomplete eradication of the infection. Here the specialist uses carbon dioxide evaporation as well as a cooling system to eliminate the nodules without causing pain to the patient. Additionally, local anesthesia is done, but not all patients need it.
It is possible to solve the problem with molluscum contagiosum in one session. It lasts 5 minutes. The epithelium is restored within a week. Scarring and inflammation, which people often think about, does not occur after the procedure. Moreover, the chance of relapse is minimal.
Nevuses and moles
Regardless of the location of these neoplasms, they are eliminated with a laser beam. The procedure is fairly quick and painless.
Specialist acts with a special device on the damaged surface for 5 minutes. After that, you will need to wait another week for the dot to disappear on its own, and only a clean and smooth surface remains in its place.
Fibroma
Fibromas are neoplasms on the face in old age. They can be effectively removed with a carbon dioxide laser, combining its action with a cooling system to provide pain relief. Local anesthesia can also be used as an adjunct, but is rarely needed.
The first step in eliminating the problem is to excise the stem of the neoplasm. After that, the laser treatment of the wound takes place.
The whole procedure takes 5 minutes. After 5-6 days after the session, the appeared crust disappears on its own. At this time, the skin color of the affected area will be different, butafter a few days, the tone of the entire face will even out. There are no contraindications to this procedure. Moreover, relapses are completely excluded here.
Chalazion
Such neoplasms on the face, like chalazions, few people like outwardly, so you want to eliminate them as quickly as possible. They are excised with a carbon dioxide laser using the method of evaporation of the upper part of the skin, and with it the capsule with its contents. In addition, the laser beam acts as a sterilizer for the treated area, preventing bleeding, infection, and damage to nearby he althy tissue.
It will take two sessions to eliminate the formation. Each of them takes about 20 minutes. As for the recovery period, it lasts exactly 10 days.
Indications and contraindications
Before removing neoplasms on the face with a laser, you should definitely consult with a specialist. This is necessary to conduct a brief examination and identify the individual characteristics of the organism in order to understand whether the operation is allowed or should be postponed until a certain time.
There are several contraindications, in the presence of which it is strictly forbidden to go to the session. These include:
- bleeding;
- diseases in acute form;
- high excitability;
- problems with the nervous system.
Also, experts identify relative contraindications:
- diabetes mellitus;
- pregnancy period.
BIf these contraindications are present, the procedure should be carried out carefully. There is a risk of infection, loss of the fetus and the formation of trophic ulcers, so only a real professional should work with the laser.
Before conducting a proper diagnosis, it is forbidden to eliminate pathological growths on the surface of the skin if there are such problems with them:
- bleeding;
- accelerated growth;
- occurrence of cracks on the surface;
- roughness;
- change structure;
- inflammatory processes;
- itching and burning.
Neoplasms of any type can transform into malignant tumors. For this reason, experts do not recommend rubbing them, damaging them and eliminating them on their own. In addition, the affected areas should not be exposed to ultraviolet radiation. Most of all, such formations are prone to rebirth: skin horn, keratoma, mole, papilloma.
It is forbidden to perform the following manipulations:
- apply traditional medicine recipes;
- refer to biopsy;
- eliminate education yourself.
Preparing for the procedure
The essence of preparation for manipulations by means of a laser is only in consultation with a specialist. He determines the type of formation, collects the patient's history and gives permission for the procedure or prohibits it.
Care after laser treatment
Experts recommend using hydrophiliccosmetics. They promote the healing of initial wounds without leaving scars, scars and spots in these places.
It is also worth noting that within three months after the laser procedure, you do not need to spend too much time in direct sunlight, in a solarium or under ultraviolet light. This is explained by the fact that such exposure harms the skin and new formations may appear on unhealed areas (these can be either just spots or tumors or bumps).
Consequences
As a rule, neoplasms on the skin of the face are removed without adverse consequences. In rare cases, it happens that the area of \u200b\u200bthe skin that was affected by the laser beam swells. This consequence is the only negative result. It passes literally after 5 days, while no measures are needed to eliminate it.
To protect yourself from complications, you should learn that within a day after the manipulation, you do not need to wet, touch or scratch the treated area. This applies to both adults and children.
Method benefits
Unlike a surgical scalpel and other procedures aimed at removing formations on the surface of the skin, a laser beam has several advantages. The main points to pay attention to are:
- elimination of several facial defects in just one procedure;
- speed of the session;
- no traces after exposure;
- disinfecting antiseptic action of the laser;
- effectcoagulation;
- cold anesthesia system;
- quick recovery;
- no mechanical damage and injury;
- eliminate viruses and bacteria, thus providing a sterile environment;
- eliminate the risk of recurrence;
- beam depth control.
Myths
Uninformed people often spread false claims that make few people want to go for the procedure. The most common myths that should not be trusted are:
- Sickness. As already described in the article, laser exposure is carried out without any discomfort. If the neoplasm is large, the specialist does a special anesthesia, so there is definitely nothing to be afraid of.
- You can not remove benign tumors. Rumor has it that in this case, the neoplasms become malignant. But in reality the situation is not so. Even if the formation is not yet too large and it seems that it will not cause any harm, it should be removed as soon as possible before it is damaged.
- Bleeding during manipulation. Doctors assure that there is no bleeding during laser treatment. This is confirmed by the patients themselves, who have already undergone the procedure. This is explained by the fact that during the session the doctor solders the affected vessels very quickly, so the blood cannot flow out from there.
- Long healing and visually unpleasant marks after the procedure. In fact, even if a crust forms, which happens not duringin all cases, it goes away on its own after a few days, leaving behind a clean and smooth surface, and the skin area itself acquires the same tone as the whole face.
- High financial costs. Of course, the amount may seem overpriced to some, but, in principle, every state employee can afford one session. Considering the financial condition of the majority of the population, it is possible to save a small amount from 2-3 wages and still go for laser treatment.
Where and how much can you do
Removal of neoplasms on the face in Yekaterinburg, St. Petersburg, Moscow, Rostov-on-Don, Saratov and other large cities is available at local clinics. The cost of the session depends on the type of formation on the surface of the skin and its size. The average price of one procedure is 3 thousand rubles.
Reviews
Having de alt with the types of neoplasms on the skin of the face and the options for their removal, it is worth considering people's reviews about the laser beam. Most of them are positive. Although the cost seems high to some people, and fears often creep in before the procedure, the end result pleases everyone. Men and women who suffer from these neoplasms and a spoiled aesthetic appearance for a long time are ready to do anything to finally bring their faces back to normal.
