The CO2 laser is a fast, safe and effective method to remove some benign skin lesions, such as warts. For treatment in areas that require a good aesthetic result such as the facial region, it is advisable to use this device to achieve the best possible result. Given that this system can completely eliminate lesions, we must be sure of the diagnosis prior to treatment, which is why an assessment by a dermatologist is essential.
Most CO2 laser procedures can be uncomfortable, so it is advisable to perform them under local anaesthesia beforehand.
After the treatment of warts with CO2 laser, small scabs may appear and take a few days to fall off. Depending on the skin type, location or extent of the lesions treated, it may be necessary to use repair creams or silicone gels, in addition to proper daily hygiene and strict photoprotection.
