Laser moles removal

If the birthmark does not cause inconvenience, then they do not even pay attention to it. But in case of an increase in the size or location of it in areas that are more often injured, removal of moles by laser is a necessary measure. Moreover, they can become causally malignant entities of man.

Indications

Whether it is necessary to resort to such method as removal of birthmarks by the laser is defined by the qualified expert. Having felt discomfort in the place where the nevus is located, it is necessary to immediately consult a dermatologist. The greatest danger that a birthmark represents for any person is the degeneration of it into a malignant tumor - melanoma. Timely elimination will prevent the development of a dangerous disease. There are a number of indications for the removal of moles with a laser:

• neoplasm has a glossy hue;
• the natural pattern of the dermis disappears, the relief of the markings is smoothed out;
• the edges become uneven, asymmetry is observed;
• nevus increases in volume for a short period of time;
• burning, itching, peeling, dry crust formation;
• hair falls out that grew on the surface of a mole;
• the formation of nodules, a wet surface, proliferation;
• bleeding, as a result of damage or spontaneously;
• the death of an old birthmark, but the emergence of a new one in the same place.

If several symptoms are present at once, you can not postpone the visit to a medical institution where all the changes will be investigated and an effective method of their elimination selected.

Preparation

A special preparation before the procedure for the removal of moles by laser will not be required. At this stage it is enough to undergo an examination with a dermatologist who will study the structure of the nevus and designate his type and oncologist. Consultation of the latter is necessary in order to establish whether the education on the skin has a malignant character. And whether it is a consequence of a cancer patient. To do this, he assigns a series of tests to exclude or confirm the assumptions.

Also, the doctor tells the patient about the features and benefits of removing the birthmark with a laser, points out the shortcomings and the likely undesirable effects. Conducts a test to identify allergies to laser exposure. Gives advice on skin care after the birthmark has been removed. To proceed directly to operative actions follows only after the orderly specialists establish the nature of the pathology and approve the operation.

Equipment

Removal of moles by laser is a method of precise step-by-step removal of layers from the pigmented formation on the skin using a ablative laser. The procedure will take less than ten minutes. First, an anesthetic injection is introduced into the area around the birthmark, the so-called local anesthesia. The patient has the right to refuse it if the nevus is small and the person has a low pain threshold. The doctor then directs the laser beam to the pathological area of the skin. All the force of influence will be directed solely at the neoplasm, from which all layers will be gradually removed.

In the event that the birthmark is large, then it will have to be removed in several stages. But, despite the fact that the problem was eliminated immediately or it took two or three procedures, the patient does not have any scars. In addition, it is worth noting that another qualitative characteristic of the presented method is that there is no bleeding and the recovery process occurs in a short time. Removal of moles with a laser does not involve contact of the skin with the instrument, the sterility of the method excludes the risk of infection of the wound, the introduction of the hepatitis virus of any type and HIV infection.

Laser removal of a birthmark on the face

If moles are small in size, do not cause discomfort and are located on those parts of the body that can easily be hidden by clothing, then they can still be tolerated with their presence. But when the nevus is in the most prominent place - the face and is the reason for the discomfort of a person, you should start to solve this problem. Women are especially sensitive to this fact, because they are the ideal of beauty. If this feature does not make them more attractive, then they try to get rid of it without fail.

The most effective method is removal of birthmarks by laser, which is also used to eliminate pathology on the front of the head. Do not be afraid of scarring and other little pleasant signs. If the procedure is carried out by a qualified expert, then after a certain time there will be no traces from the mini-operation. The main thing is to behave correctly during the rehabilitation period, namely to cover the area of operation from direct UV rays. Covering it with adhesive tape and as little as possible to appear in the sun.

Removal of red moles by laser

Most patients are worried about the question: is it possible to remove red moles? Their medical name is angioma. The reason for their occurrence is the failure of the vascular system. Small-sized red dots grow from blood vessels and come out on the surface of the epithelium. Independently to get rid of them is forbidden. Removing red moles by laser is one of the most effective methods today. It is best to fight them at the initial stage of development. And to solve the problem you need a small number of procedures.

It happens that after the first irradiation the angioma disappears. But when a mesh of capillaries forms around it, the treatment becomes more difficult. Elimination of only the central arteriolus will not produce a result, since the vessels that leave it receive blood also through extensive collateral connections. Therefore, to completely remove the problem, a series of procedures is needed. The process of removal does not differ from moles of another type. And as a result, you will get clean skin, since the laser beam acts solely on the vessels.

Contraindications to removal of birthmarks by laser

To remove moles with a laser, there are not very many contraindications, so this method is used most often. And yet it should be denied to those people who have an allergy to laser radiation. In this case, reddening of the skin in the area that is affected is observed. And with very sensitive skin, there is a risk of blisters.

It happens that pigmentation changes, but soon everything returns to normal. Also, you can not use a laser if there are skin diseases, there are rashes of any degree around the mole, malignant nevus, weak immunity. The procedure is also contraindicated for patients with psychological diseases, diagnosed with oncology, since it will be difficult to foresee the consequences, with diabetes, because the skin is poorly regenerated.

Removal of moles by laser is strictly not recommended for women during pregnancy, because it is during this period that they are particularly vulnerable. If getting rid of a nevus is not possible in this way, then the doctor will pick up you no less effective, but do not try to get rid of it yourself.

Consequences after removal of a birthmark with a laser

It is necessary to take care that this small but important operation for the patient is carried out exclusively in the medical institution by an experienced specialist. Many surgical interventions can have undesirable consequences, no matter how reliable they are. The elimination of moles by laser was no exception. Naturally, each person will do his best to avoid negative consequences. To prevent them, one should strictly follow the doctor's instructions on the use of medicines, in wound care and immediately contact the hospital if:

• After the mini-operation began to manifest an allocation of unknown character,
• extensive redness of the skin,
• severe itching,
• the temperature rises,
• The crust on the wound lasts longer than the prescribed time,
• The location of the laser beam was swollen.

Black spot after removal of a birthmark with a laser

About all possible consequences that arise after removal of birthmarks by laser, as well as spots, the doctor informs the patient in advance. After the eradication of the nevus, a black stain may remain. It is formed at the end of the procedure, regardless of which method was used. It is a kind of crust that serves as a protective barrier to the wound, preventing the entry of viruses and pathogens from the environment. After the damaged area heals, it will disappear and a pink spot will remain in its place, which will disappear for six months without a trace. This development of events indicates that the skin is normally restored.

In other cases, the patient should consult with a specialist and be under his supervision.

Complications after removal of birthmarks by laser

If during the postoperative period the patient did not take appropriate measures to care for the wound or the laser moles were removed by an incompetent physician, then there is a risk of complications. On the part of the skin where surgery was performed, burning, pain or itching can be felt. There is also an allergic reaction to pain medications used during the operation. The doctor who conducted it, is obliged to specify such nuances, otherwise a small omission may cause serious complications. Yes, and the patients themselves, should understand that to guarantee a positive result can only a professional.

It happens that moles of large sizes can not be removed completely and a small part of it remains. Agree that the result is unpleasant, so after a while you need to repeat the procedure. But most of all afflicts patients with the presence of a large keloid scar after removal of the nevus. Especially if he was left on his face. Unfortunately, the appearance of scars of this kind is due to the individual characteristics of the human body.
