Warts are benign viral papillomas, characterized by the growth of layers of skin with an uneven and rough surface.

They affect both sexes, at any age and are widespread throughout the world. They are caused by human papillomaviruses (HPV) type 1-4, 26-29, 38, 41 and others.

Clinically, they can be single or multiple, and can be located in different parts of the body:

• on hands, palms, feet (chicken thorn)
• under the nail plate
• face, eyelids
• on the neck
• on the mucous membrane of the mouth and the back of the tongue

Laser treatment of flat warts:

They are caused by HPV type 3. They are more common in adolescents and children, spread quickly to the face, neck and limbs. They are flat, round or oval in shape, slightly raised, with a smooth surface. Their color is pale brown, pale pink or yellowish. Rarely, self-healing may occur after months or years, and more often their number increases progressively.

Laser removal of acute warts (Condylomata acuminate)

They are an infection most often caused by HPV types 6 and 11, less commonly 16, 18, 42, occurring mainly in adulthood, on the genital mucosa and sometimes in the area of ​​the oral mucosa. Predisposing factors are inflammatory processes in the genital area, sexual intercourse and others.

Laser wart removal is a newer but proven method of treatment and its advantages are:

• the procedure is painless, as it is performed after local anesthesia
• the integrity of the skin is restored quickly
• after the procedure no special care and sanitary measures are required, which allows us to immediately return to our normal daily life
• achieving a faster final result
• fewer doctor visits
• the method is gentle and leaves no scars
• can be done all year round

Often in Dermatology there are skin formations, which, although benign, are less attractive and worry the patient in addition to healthy and purely aesthetic.

The most common are fibroids, warts, cellular nevi, xanthelasmas. Removing them usually involves laser or energy-based devices, which have the potential disadvantage of creating more trauma and even the possibility of residual scarring.

PLEXR technology is the world’s first plasma coagulator, with which it is possible to treat a wide range of skin problems without risks, pain, scarring or hospital stay. Immediately after the procedure, the patient can return to her/his normal daily life.

Skin conditions treated with PLEXR:

• Removal of mild skin growths known as dermatofibromas
• Removal of moles
• Treatment of xanthelasmas, which are yellow deposits of fat under the skin, usually near the eyelids
• Removal of fibroids (skin pendants)
• Fibroids are common benign formations, representing small growths on the skin. The reasons for their appearance are unclear, but there are various predisposing factors such as family history, endocrine or hormonal disorders, obesity. They often occur during pregnancy or menopause. In some cases, they are also associated with the appearance of seborrheic warts.
• Fibroids are most often multiple and are localized on the face, neck, armpits, chest, groin, but can also be located on other parts of the body. They are small (several millimetres) and rarely larger (up to 1-2 cm) spherical, “tight” at the base pendants with a brownish colour or the colour of the surrounding skin. It is good to know that they never change malignantly.

Surgical excision, also known as removal of a skin formation, is the complete removal of benign (nevi, cysts, seborrheic vertebrae, etc.) and malignant formations on the skin. This completely eliminates the risk of malignant degeneration (malignancy) and spread to the surrounding skin or other organs of the body.

Before the intervention itself, you should go through a consultation with our specialist so that you can ask all your questions and he will specify how the procedure works.

After excision of the lesion with a scalpel, the wound is closed with surgical sutures and covered with a sterile waterproof bandage. The intervention lasts between 20-30 minutes, depending on the size of the treated area. There may be a slight swelling after the intervention. Bleeding and sagging of the sutures are rare. Skin infections and allergic reactions to anaesthesia are very rare.

The operative wound heals in 7 to 10 days. It is recommended not to get wet for at least 48 hours and to avoid excessive physical effort until the sutures are removed.

Biopsy is one of the privileges of dermatology because the skin is a very easily accessible organ. Sometimes the same skin changes are a typical symptom of different skin diseases that require a different treatment. To make the right decision, the dermatologist needs a more in-depth look, which is provided by examining the tissues under a microscope.

A biopsy is an intervention that is performed in the presence of tumours in various organs and parts of the body to determine their appearance and nature. Through this method the skin is examined at the cellular and sometimes molecular level.

The procedure is completely painless. Local anesthesia is applied, with a very slight sting. The biopsy is performed with a specific instrument called a punch, with the help of which a circle is cut from the affected skin with a diameter of 2-6 mm., depending on the needs of the study. The wound that remains usually heals in a few days.
