Warts and hemangiomas laser removal

Warts and hemangiomas are skin growths of different nature. Warts are caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV), while hemangiomas result from vascular abnormalities. Despite these differences, the appearance of both types of lesions is closely connected to the skin’s vascular system, and they respond best to treatment with advanced vascular lasers that precisely target the problematic areas.

Our clinic offers modern laser technologies specifically designed to effectively and gently remove both warts and hemangiomas without damaging the surrounding tissues. Laser therapy allows for precise targeting of the affected tissues, using selective action on the blood vessels or HPV-affected cells, ensuring fast and long-lasting results.

Laser Wart Removal

Warts are among the most common benign skin growths. They appear as round, hard nodules with a rough surface and may be covered with keratinized layers. Most often, warts are found on the back of the hands, fingers, palms, soles, face, or scalp. Warts are classified into common, flat (juvenile), and genital warts (condylomas). Plantar warts (a type of common wart) are also common, often forming in areas subjected to friction from shoes or on excessively sweaty skin.

Causes of Warts
Warts are caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV). They can appear on any part of the body but are most commonly found on the hands, feet, fingers, and face.

Types of Warts:

• Common Warts: Small, rough growths, often located on fingers or palms.
• Plantar Warts: Develop on the soles of the feet and may cause discomfort when walking.
• Filiform Warts: Narrow, soft growths that appear on the face or neck.
• Flat Warts: Smooth, small growths commonly found on the face or hands.

Why Treat Warts?
Warts are contagious, and leaving them untreated can lead to their spread or increase in size. Additionally, warts may cause discomfort, particularly if they are located in areas prone to friction or pressure.

Benefits of Laser Therapy

Laser therapy is the most effective method for treating warts because it:

• Completely destroys virus-affected cells.
• Does not damage the surrounding healthy skin.
• Targets the blood vessels feeding the wart, minimizing the risk of recurrence.
• Ensures quick healing without scarring.

The procedure takes 10 to 20 minutes and does not require a long recovery period.

Laser Removal of Hemangiomas

Hemangiomas are benign vascular growths caused by excessive blood vessel proliferation. They often appear as red or purple spots on the skin’s surface and can vary in size and shape. Hemangiomas can be congenital or develop later in life.

Why Treat Hemangiomas?
While hemangiomas are usually harmless, they may cause aesthetic discomfort or be subject to mechanical irritation, especially in areas that rub against clothing.

Benefits of Laser Therapy
Our clinic uses advanced vascular lasers to treat hemangiomas, which:

• Selectively target the blood vessels in the hemangioma, closing them.
• Remove hemangiomas without scarring or damage to surrounding tissues.
• Provide safe and minimally painful treatment.

In most cases, results are visible after the first procedure, and the hemangioma gradually disappears within a few weeks. In the case of removing large hemangiomas, a course of treatments may be required.

Post-Procedure Guidelines
After laser therapy, it is essential to follow a few simple recommendations:

• Protect the treated skin from the sun by using SPF 50 sunscreen.
• Avoid using irritating cosmetic products on the treated area.
