MEDICAL LASER: THE NEW BENCHMARK FOR TREATING SKIN LESIONS

The removal of skin lesions is a very common procedure for removing acrochordons (skin teats), moles, keratoses and much more. 

However, some traditional methods used by dermatologists can leave traces, such as discolored areas or small scars. Ablative lasers, on the other hand, remove skin lesions with the advantage of minimizing scarring and considerably reducing recovery time. 

At MediSpa Physimed, we can remove almost any skin lesion on the face or body using state-of-the-art lasers such as Nd:YAG and Erb:YAG.

TYPE OF ANESTHESIA USED

For laser removal of skin lesions, a local anaesthetic is generally sufficient. This allows only the treated area to be numbed, ensuring a comfortable and virtually pain-free procedure. Depending on the size and depth of the lesion, anaesthesia can be administered using either a surface-applied anaesthetic cream or a small local injection. 

LEVEL OF PAIN OR DISCOMFORT

Laser removal of skin lesions is a painless and well-tolerated procedure. Thanks to the local anaesthetic, most patients experience no more than a slight sensation of heat or tingling during treatment. After the procedure, slight discomfort comparable to a mild sunburn may occur, but this quickly disappears. This modern technique therefore ensures maximum comfort while delivering precise, long-lasting results. 

PROCEDURE DURATION AND RECOVERY PERIOD

Laser ablation of skin lesions is a fast and effective procedure, usually lasting just a few minutes depending on the size and number of lesions to be treated.

The recovery period is also very short. A slight redness or crusting may appear in the treated area, but this usually disappears within a few days. In most cases, patients can resume their normal activities immediately after treatment. 

Our doctors will provide you with personalized care advice to ensure optimal healing and the best possible aesthetic result.

Invasiveness level

Laser ablation of skin lesions is a minimally invasive procedure. Unlike some traditional surgical techniques, the laser acts with great precision, targeting only the lesion without damaging surrounding tissue. 

This approach significantly reduces the risk of scarring, minimizes discomfort and promotes faster, more aesthetic healing. 

Mechanism of the procedure:
How it works

The laser uses high-precision light energy to selectively target and eliminate the skin lesion without damaging the surrounding skin. Depending on the type of laser used (Nd:YAG, Erb:YAG, etc.), the energy is absorbed by the tissues to be treated, resulting in their controlled destruction. 

The body then naturally eliminates these cells, allowing the skin to heal cleanly and regain an even appearance. This process delivers effective results, with little or no scarring and rapid recovery. 

Expected results and benefits

After laser ablation, most patients experience complete or almost complete disappearance of the skin lesion, with smoother, more even skin. Thanks to laser precision, the risk of scarring or discoloration is considerably reduced. 

Results are generally visible quickly, and improve as healing progresses. In most cases, a single session is sufficient, but some lesions may require additional treatment to achieve optimal results.

FAQs

No, the procedure is generally painless. A local anesthetic (cream or small injection) is used to ensure your comfort. Most patients feel only a slight warmth or tingling during treatment. Post-treatment discomfort is minimal and comparable to a mild sunburn.

The procedure takes just a few minutes, depending on the size and number of lesions to be treated. Recovery is rapid: a little redness or crusting may appear, but this disappears within a few days. You can usually resume your normal activities immediately after treatment.

The laser can treat a wide variety of benign lesions: acrochordons (skin teats), unsuspected moles, keratoses, lentigos, warts and others. Our doctors always assess the lesion before proceeding, to confirm that it can be safely removed by laser.

Thanks to the precision of the laser, the risk of scarring is significantly reduced compared to traditional methods. In the majority of cases, the skin heals without leaving any visible traces. In rare cases, a slight temporary discoloration may appear, but this usually disappears with time.

In most cases, a single session is sufficient to eliminate the lesion. However, some deeper or more extensive lesions may require several sessions to achieve optimum results. Your doctor will explain the personalized treatment plan during the initial free consultation. 

After treatment, we recommend that you protect the area from the sun, avoid scratching the crust and apply a moisturizing or healing cream according to the doctor's instructions. These simple treatments promote rapid healing and reduce the risk of residual marks.

areas treatable with this technique

Laser ablation can effectively treat skin lesions on almost any part of the body. The most frequently treated areas are: 

  • Face: eyelids, nose, lips, cheek, chin 
  • Neck and cleavage 
  • Hands and arms 
  • Back and chest 
  • Legs and other body areas

 

Thanks to the precision of the laser, even the most sensitive and visible areas can be treated safely, minimizing the risk of scarring. 

potential risks and side effects

As with any medical procedure, laser removal of skin lesions can have some temporary side effects. The most frequent are: 

  • Redness or slight swelling of the treated area
  • Formation of a small crust 
  • A sensation of heat or tightness similar to sunburn. 

 

These reactions are generally mild, disappearing within a few days. In rare cases, a change in pigmentation or a small scar may appear, especially if post-treatment care is not respected.
