Removal of skin formations

Cryosurgery with liquid nitrogen

Warts are benign skin formations caused by a virus. Treatment is by destroying the structure of the wart and freezing it with liquid nitrogen. Several treatments may be necessary. Before the procedure, a dermatoscopy is carried out to ascertain the nature of the formation.

Surgery

Surgical removal of skin formations means removing the formation along with the deeper layers of skin. The manipulation takes place under local anaesthesia. The wound is then closed with strips or stitches. Surgical intervention is used both for the removal of benign skin growths (cysts, lipomas) and in cases where a malignant skin formation is suspected or detected. It is mandatory for melanoma and dysplastic lesions, lipomas and skin cysts, but not for viral warts. The surgical technique can also be used in the treatment of the nails: ablation of the nail, resection of the root or edge of the nail. Before the manipulation, the diagnosis of the formation is carried out - dermatoscopy and other examination methods are used if necessary.

Laser surgery

Unlike surgery, laser therapy has a better cosmetic effect (less risk of scarring) and is faster. The manipulation takes place under local anaesthesia. Laser removal of a skin formation requires a precise diagnosis. Most often, moles, papillomas, keratomas and other benign skin neoplasms are removed by laser.

• ERBI laser for the removal of benign skin neoplasms

An ablative laser that destroys melanin cells and closes the capillaries of the bloodied skin. The laser is more gentle than the CO2 laser, which makes the treatment more comfortable and has less thermal effect on the surrounding tissue. The laser is used for the removal of moles, papillomas, fibroids, etc., and for aesthetic skin treatments. The most appropriate type of laser for the removal of skin neoplasms is determined by the doctor after a dermatoscopy and other examinations.

Electrocoaugulation

During the procedure, pathological tissue is destroyed or blood vessels are closed using an electric current. This method allows the removal of benign skin formations (keratomas, fibromas, papillomas, etc.). The most appropriate method of removing the skin neoplasm is determined by the doctor after a dermatoscopy and other examinations.
