Laser therapy

The main advantage of this procedure remains high accuracy of results (healthy skin is practically not affected).Innovative technologies allow you to accurately determine the diameter, depth of growths, and hence the optimal degree of penetration of the laser beam. Correct choice of depth of influence minimizes the effect on the shell of the visual organs.

Another advantage of laser therapy is the absence of direct contact of the device with the skin, so that infection can be prevented from penetrating.Infected tissue is cautiously affected by an ultrafast pulse. Point impact in just one pulse removes the defective part of the epidermis. The laser technique is 100% bloodless - the beam immediately clogs the blood vessels and blood does not go.

The procedure is performed under local anesthesia, the skin is pre-treated with an antiseptic.The loop of the apparatus is superimposed on the built-up edge, after which an electric current is opened. There is a thermal damage to the tissues of the papilloma, and it disappears. After the procedure, a crust is formed on the skin. All metal jewelry before the session is removed.

Electrocoagulation

Advantages of electrocoagulation include:

• speed of execution;
• absence of painful sensations and bleeding;
• security;
