Surgical CO2 laser is among the services at Aura Medical Clinic in Tirana. A consultation with the specialist assesses your concern, the area you wish to treat and whether this procedure is suitable for your case.
What surgical CO2 laser is used for
Surgical CO2 laser uses a focused beam to cut or vaporise the treated tissue in a controlled way. In dermatology, it may be used to remove certain benign skin growths, such as:
- Soft fibromas, also known as skin tags.
- Warts, when the doctor considers laser an appropriate treatment.
- Seborrhoeic keratoses, benign growths with a thickened surface on the skin.
The doctor first assesses the nature of the growth and decides whether laser, further examination or another treatment method is recommended. Not every skin growth is suitable for laser removal.
This use targets a specific growth. Fractional CO2 laser treatment for skin texture, wrinkles and scars is presented on a separate page.
What is discussed before the procedure
During the consultation, you can clarify the purpose of the procedure, its steps, preparation and aftercare. Also discuss your medical history, medicines, previous treatments and expectations.
Planning and recovery
Before deciding on treatment, ask about the duration, sensations during the procedure, recovery and follow-up appointments. These depend on the area and proposed procedure. Specific instructions for your case are discussed with the specialist.
