The CO2 Laser is a highly effective way to remove unsightly or bothersome benign moles and to eradicate acne scars, surgical scars and other textural irregularities of the skin such as bumps, skin tags and warts. This form of removal is widely regarded as superior to traditional surgical techniques as the laser targets only the affected area, thus minimising damage to the surrounding skin. In addition, CO2 Laser Removal doesn’t involve stitching, which can leave scarring. Instead, the Laser seals the skin as it targets the tissue, thus reducing bleeding, minimising the chance of infection and leaving a smoother surface than would ordinarily occur with traditional surgical techniques. The procedure is safe, quick and simple and the treated area heals quickly, with great cosmetic results.
- The CO2 Laser may be used to remove benign moles, scars, bumps, skin tags, warts and other irregularities from any part of the body.
- The area will first be examined by the Doctor, then numbed if necessary so that you won’t feel anything during the procedure. The irregularity will then be removed and the CO2 Laser used to smooth out the edges of the area being treated, thus reducing the scarring associated with conventional surgical techniques. A special dressing will then be applied to the area to accelerate healing.
- Does it hurt?
- This procedure is quick and easily tolerated by most people. You may however choose to ask for a topical anaesthetic.
How long does it take?
- This depends on the area being treated. Please contact one of our Advisors for details.
How many treatments will I need and how soon will I see results?
- The total number of treatments depends upon the area being treated. Please contact one of our Advisors for a consultation to determine your personal treatment schedule.
Are there any side effects and is there any downtime?
- The treated area will initially be red and some swelling may occur, but you won’t experience any major side-effects and will be able to return to your daily routine straight after the procedure. The redness and swelling will soon subside.
