Neoplasms on the face worsen the appearance, so when they appear, people rush into a panic. There are many varieties of them, because of which the treatment is carried out in different ways. Fortunately, most 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 laser exposure contributes to the accelerated division of epithelial cells, the tissues regenerate quite quickly and they do not leave any traces 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, the cells can stop fulfilling their functions in full, which is manifested on the outside.
To date, distinguish between benign and malignant neoplasms of the face, as well as precancerous skin conditions. The former do not pose a threat to human life, but in certain cases they can degrade the functioning of internal organs and systems. Malignant tumors increase in size fairly quickly, are prone to relapse and can be fatal if measures are not taken in a timely manner. As for precancerous conditions, they are neoplasms that mutate due to hereditary or current causes, thereby transforming into malignant tumors.
Laser exposure
Laser removal of tumors on the face is the most common solution to the problem. Almost all defects on the skin surface lend themselves to this method. The procedure is painless and does not cause any discomfort.
Purpose of the procedure
The laser is able to eliminate even tumors on the face located in the most inaccessible places, including in the mouth (if the tumor appeared both outside and inside). The purpose of this removal is to achieve all these tasks:
- elimination of pathologies of the skin;
- prevention of the transformation of benign education into precancerous;
- getting a good cosmetic result without a trace after surgery;
- reducing the risk of complications and re-formation of neoplasms.
Methodology and process
To date, 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 mole cells, atheromas and other formations on the surface of the integument. This is done by 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 warmed up to 70 degrees - this is just the temperature at which harmful bacteria are destroyed.
Angioma
A 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 treating the affected area with a laser, healthy tissues in the vicinity are by no means affected. The specialist carefully controls the depth of the laser and does not allow its increase.
The elimination of the defect takes place in just one session, the duration of which is 5 minutes. For each patient, only local anesthesia is used, since it is quite enough even for the most sensitive patients. It will take a week to restore the integument.
Many people are afraid of angioma removal. 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
A tumor of the sebaceous gland is not a very painful tumor on the face. It is not in vain related to the types of common formations on the surface of the skin. Atheroma is small in size and smooth. To eliminate it, layered vaporization is used. Here, first of all, its contents are eliminated, and only after that is the capsule itself. This is done to prevent relapse.
If the size of the neoplasm is larger than the standard, the combined method is used. In this case, a laser alone is not enough, and a surgical scalpel is also 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. Moreover, the duration of recovery reaches 10 days.
Basalioma
Although white neoplasms on the face are not a big problem, some people still want to eliminate it as soon as possible. In this case, the carbon dioxide laser acts by the method of layerwise evaporation. Here, in no case, healthy areas of the skin are affected, since the beam does not directly contact 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 with time it disappears on its own. Scars or bleeding do not appear in its place. It takes 10 days to recover. This method is often used to eliminate neoplasms on the skin of the face in old age.
Wart
In the case of a wart, the removal process also occurs with anesthesia. Accuracy and accuracy are important here, as healthy areas should not be affected. The neoplasm is eliminated along with the root using the evaporation method.
To eliminate the wart, one session is enough. It takes about 5 minutes. And recovery lasts exactly a week.
A wart can degenerate into a malignant tumor, so it is best to eliminate it in a timely manner. A photo of the tumor on the face is presented below.
Botriomicoma
Oddly enough, the beam of the laser can also be removed and botryomycoma. Here, the evaporation of liquid molecules from the neoplasm plays an important role. 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
Laser removal of neoplasms on the face 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 vaporization of the cells. If the formations are enlarged, 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, scars and scars do not remain on the treated integuments, but only an excellent cosmetic effect is obtained. In isolated cases, relapses occur. It will take no more than 5 days to recover.
Skin horn
This neoplasm is most unpleasant for most people, as it looks like a real horn, but not of such a large size. As a rule, it is formed in old age in open areas of integument.
To eliminate the defect, a layered evaporation method is used. This is done exclusively under local anesthesia. To anesthetize, a cooling system is used.
The procedure does not last too long - up to 5 minutes. Rehabilitation takes 5-6 days. After the operation, no trace remains.
This method is especially effective in the case of an early stage of tumor progression. If you deal with him in time, there is a chance to completely eliminate the occurrence of relapses.
Condyloma and papilloma
If removal of neoplasms on a face of this type is necessary, then a neodymium or carbon dioxide laser is used. There is a method of evaporation. During the procedure, local anesthesia works. Due to laser exposure, the virus does not pass to healthy tissues.
The procedure lasts only 10 minutes. The rehabilitation period is 7 days. During this time, the tone of the integument manages to become more even. Scars and scars after the session never remain.
Molluscum contagiosum
Laser removal of tumors on the face in this case is performed with the complete elimination of infection. Here, the specialist uses carbon dioxide evaporation, as well as a cooling system to eliminate 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. Scars and inflammation, which people often think about, do not occur after the procedure. Moreover, the likelihood of relapse is minimal.
Nevuses and moles
Regardless of the localization of these neoplasms, they are eliminated using a laser beam. The procedure is carried out quite quickly and does not cause pain.
The specialist acts on the damaged surface with a special apparatus for 5 minutes. After this, you will need to wait another week for the point to disappear by itself, 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 anesthesia. Local anesthesia can also be performed as an adjunct, but the need for it is extremely rare.
The first step in resolving the problem is to excise the neoplasm leg. After that, the wound is already treated with a laser.
The whole procedure takes 5 minutes. 5-6 days after the session, the resulting crust disappears on its own. At this time, the skin color on the affected area will be different, but after a few days the tone of the whole face will even out. There are no contraindications to this procedure. Moreover, relapses are completely excluded here.
Halazion
Such neoplasms on the face as halazions, few people like externally, so you want to eliminate them as soon 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 capsules with its contents. In addition, the laser beam acts as a sterilizer for the treated area, which eliminates bleeding, infection, and damage to healthy nearby tissues.
To eliminate education, two sessions are required. Each of them takes about 20 minutes. As for the recovery period, it lasts exactly 10 days.
Indications and contraindications
Before removing tumors on the face with a laser, you must consult with a specialist. This is necessary to conduct a brief examination and identify the individual characteristics of the body in order to understand whether the operation is allowed or whether it 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
- acute diseases;
- high excitability;
- problems with the nervous system.
Also, experts identify and relative contraindications:
- diabetes;
- period of pregnancy.
In the presence of these contraindications, 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 carry out laser work.
Before conducting 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;
- structural change;
- 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 fixing them on their own. In addition, the affected areas should not be exposed to ultraviolet radiation. Most of all, such formations are prone to degeneration: skin horn, keratoma, mole, papilloma.
It is forbidden to perform the following manipulations:
- apply recipes of traditional medicine;
- apply to a biopsy;
- eliminate education on their own.
Preparation for the procedure
The essence of preparing for laser manipulation is only in consultation with a specialist. He determines the type of education, collects the patient’s medical history and gives permission for the procedure or prohibits it.
Laser care
Experts recommend using hydrophilic cosmetics after the session. They contribute to the healing of the original wounds without leaving scars, scars and spots in these places.
It is also worth noting that for three months after the procedure, the laser does not need to spend too long time in direct sunlight, in a solarium or under ultraviolet light. This is explained by the fact that such an effect harms the skin and new formations may appear on unhealed areas (these can be just spots, swellings or bumps).
Effects
As a rule, neoplasms on the skin of the face are removed without adverse effects. In rare cases, it happens that the area of the skin 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.
In order to protect yourself from complications, it is worth learning that within a day after the manipulations you do not need to wet, touch or scratch the treated area. This applies to both adults and children.
Method Advantages
Unlike a surgical scalpel and other procedures aimed at removing formations on the skin surface, the laser beam has several advantages. The main points that are worth paying attention to are:
- elimination of several facial defects in just one procedure;
- speed of the session;
- lack of traces after exposure;
- laser disinfecting antiseptic effect;
- coagulation effect;
- cold anesthesia system;
- quick rehabilitation;
- lack of mechanical damage and injuries;
- elimination of viruses and bacteria, thereby ensuring a sterile environment;
- elimination of the risk of relapse;
- beam depth control.
Myths
Unaware people often spread false statements, because of which few people want to go to the procedure. The most common myths you should not trust are:
- Soreness. As already described in the article, laser exposure is carried out without any unpleasant sensations. If the neoplasm is large, the specialist makes a special anesthesia, so there is certainly nothing to be afraid of.
- Benign tumors cannot be removed. Rumor has it that in this case, the neoplasms become malignant. But in reality the situation is not so. Even if the formation is still not too large and it seems that it will not do any harm, it should be removed as soon as possible before it is damaged.
- Bleeding during the manipulation. Doctors claim that there is no bleeding during laser treatment. This is confirmed by patients themselves who have already undergone the procedure. This is explained by the fact that at the session the doctor solders the affected vessels very quickly, so the blood cannot flow out of it at all.
- Long healing and visually unpleasant traces after the procedure. In fact, even if a crust forms, which does not happen in all cases, it leaves on its own after a few days, leaving behind a clean and smooth surface, and the skin itself acquires the same tone as the whole face.
- Big financial expenses. Of course, for some, the amount may seem overpriced, but, in principle, every public employee can afford one session. Given the financial condition of the majority of the population, you can put aside small amounts from 2-3 wages and still go for laser processing.
