FAQs
How are lesions removed?
CO₂ laser treatment works by using a concentrated beam of light to precisely remove the lesion layer by layer without damaging the surrounding skin. The laser vaporizes the targeted tissue, promoting natural healing and minimal scarring. It’s especially effective for benign growths, warts, moles, skin tags, and other superficial lesions.
Is it suitable for all skin types?
CO₂ laser removal can be effective for many skin types, but extra caution is needed for darker skin tones due to a higher risk of pigmentation changes. A consultation with a qualified practitioner is essential to assess suitability and minimize potential risks like hyperpigmentation or hypopigmentation.
What parts of the body can be treated?
The CO₂ laser can safely treat lesions on nearly any part of the body, including the face, neck, chest, back, hands, and legs. It is commonly used for visible or bothersome lesions that affect comfort, appearance, or function.
What do I need to do to prepare for the treatment?
Preparation is minimal. You may be advised to:
-
Avoid direct sun exposure and tanning for at least 2 weeks before treatment.
-
Stop using certain skincare products like retinoids or acids a few days prior.
-
Inform your provider of any medications or skin conditions.
-
Come to your appointment with clean, makeup-free skin if treating the face.
Your practitioner will give you specific instructions based on the area and type of lesion being treated.
What are the risks?
While CO₂ laser removal is generally safe when performed by a trained professional, potential risks include:
-
Redness and swelling (temporary)
-
Scabbing or crusting
-
Changes in skin pigmentation (lightening or darkening)
-
Infection (rare)
-
Scarring (rare, especially compared to surgical methods)
Following aftercare instructions carefully reduces the chance of complications.
Is CO₂ laser removal different from surgical removal?
Yes. CO₂ laser removal is a non-invasive or minimally invasive alternative to traditional surgical excision. It typically results in:
-
Less bleeding and discomfort
-
Faster healing
-
Lower risk of scarring
-
No need for stitches
However, surgical removal may be recommended for certain types of lesions, especially if a biopsy is required. Your practitioner will help determine the best approach.
