CO2 Laser Treatments:
Moles & Skin Lesion Removal

CO2 laser for skin lesion

CO2 laser, also known as carbon dioxide laser, is a type of medical laser that uses carbon dioxide gas as its medium for producing a focused beam of light. It is widely used in both cosmetic and medical procedures due to its precision and effectiveness in treating various skin conditions.

In the medical field, CO2 lasers have been used for decades for various surgical applications, including cutting, cauterizing, and vaporizing tissues. They are commonly used in procedures such as:

Skin Resurfacing: CO2 laser skin resurfacing is a popular cosmetic procedure to address skin issues like wrinkles, fine lines, scars, and age spots. The laser removes the outer layers of the skin, stimulating collagen production and revealing smoother, rejuvenated skin.

Removal of Skin Lesions: CO2 lasers are utilized to remove benign skin growths, such as warts, skin tags, and certain moles, as well as some pre-cancerous or early-stage skin cancers.

Moles

Moles are concentrations of pigment-producing cells (melanocytes) in your skin appearing as black or brown growths on the skin. People with light skin tend to have more moles. Moles are very common, usually emerge in childhood and adolescence, and may change in size and color as you grow.

Seborrheic keratosis

Seborrheic keratosis is one of the most common noncancerous skin growths in older adults. It usually appears as a slightly elevated growth with brown, black or light tan colour on the face, chest, shoulders or back.

Syringomas

Syringomas are benign, skin-colored elevations of the skin typically found around the eyes, including on the eyelids and upper cheeks. Syringomas are caused by the overgrowth of cells from sweat glands (eccrine glands).

Xanthelasma

Xanthelasma appears as yellowish plaques, which are commonly found on or around the eyelids. They are actually accumulation of cholesterol deposits underneath the skin.

Common wart

Common warts are small, rough, and hard growths that occur most often on your fingers or hands. Common warts are actually an infection in the top layer of skin, caused by Human Papilloma Virus(HPV) and are transmitted by touch.

Milia

Milia (oil seed) are tiny white bumps that are found under the skin. Milia most often appear on the face, commonly around the eyelids and cheeks.They form when skin flakes or keratin, a protein, become trapped under the skin.
