The mode of action of carbon dioxide laser in the removal of benign moles
The light of the carbon dioxide laser is absorbed in water that is found in every human tissue. During the absorption heat evolves, the cells boil and explode. We use the carbon dioxide laser as a light scalpel in the case of skin tags. The benign moles and verruca seborrhoicas can be vaporized by the carbon dioxide laser.

The carbon dioxide laser vaporization has several advantages in the removal of benign moles for the patient and the physician too

  • It is absorbed in 0,1 mm depth in the skin so its effect can be controlled with great accuracy.
  • There is no need to make suture.
  • The operation is quick so the burden for you is minimal.
  • The laser light obstructs the small blood and lymphatic vessels so there are no bleeding during the operation.
  • You can very rarely feel pain after the operation.
  • The laser light destroys the pathogens on the surface of the skin so the wound surface will be sterile.
  • The wound heals quickly and with cosmetically good results.
  • You can do the simple bandage exchange at home based on the written paper about it.
