Quick Links
Laser removal can be a quick and painless way to remove skin growths. At Cope Cosmetic Dermatology, we offer a variety of ways to remove skin growths using the most reliable technologies and techniques.
What is Laser Removal?
Laser removal is a method of removing unwanted skin growths with laser technology. It works by damaging the skin cells such that they die off and leave behind clear, smooth skin. Laser removal can be an effective and efficient way to remove skin growths with the help of an experienced laser technician and dermatologist.
Who’s a Good Candidate for Laser Removal?
Laser removal is a good option for patients who have:
- Benign Skin Growths
- Precancers
In some cases, laser removal can be more effective than cryosurgery or surgical removal. It also causes less damage to the surrounding tissue (making it a more precise treatment option). During your consultation with your dermatologist, you’ll discuss your various treatment options and which one is best for your needs.
What Can I Expect From Laser Removal?
Laser removal can be performed right in our office. To begin, you’ll be given a topical anesthetic and specialized eye shields to protect your vision. The area will be cleansed and sterilized and the laser handpiece will be applied to the area. Depending on the size of your treatment area, this process is usually very quick and you can return home afterward.
Laser Removal Aftercare
It’s extremely important to care for your treated skin after your session. Our team will provide detailed aftercare instructions and materials for cleansing and bandaging your treatment area. Because laser technologies can make your skin more sensitive to sun damage, it’s essential to keep the area covered and wear SPF 30+ daily. Depending on your circumstances, you may need more than one treatment session and our team will make sure you understand when to return.
