Removal of skin formations
Table of content:
Removal of skin growths is a type of intervention aimed at removing a specific area of the dermis to eliminate the lesions that have appeared on it. The lesions themselves may be of different origin, type and degree of risk.
Some types of skin growths do not pose any danger to human health, but they cause serious damage to self-esteem by creating aesthetic or some physical discomfort. Their variety, including in the level of risk accompanying them, makes it necessary to treat them by, or at least under the close supervision of, a specialist.
At Skin Line, we have a reliable team of theoretically trained and experienced dermatologists who will quickly and painlessly perform laser removal of skin growths. Find out more in the following lines.
Common skin formations and their risks
Skin formations are widespread among people of all ages. Almost every one of us carries one on himself. Some are too small in size and inconspicuous, while others are voluminous, sometimes embossed and, unfortunately, with some risk in their structure, mode of growth and origin. Therefore, dermatologists basically divide them into the following two types: benign and malignant.
It is important to know that in some cases even benign lesions on the skin can create a problem at a future stage of time – for example, with mechanical deformation, sun exposure or other type of adverse impact. A classical division of skin formations also distinguishes two other types: viral and non-viral. The first type must be contained and treated as quickly as possible. These skin lesions can spread not only on the body of the carrier but also on that of others, including sexual transmission.
A number of affected patients visit a specialist with a complaint of which they are unaware of the type and origin, but suffer from unpleasant emotional and/or physical sensations. The degree of discomfort traditionally depends on the location of the lesions. In itself, it not infrequently also forms the specific group of skin formations. In practice, the following types are most commonly encountered:
Methods for removing skin growths
It is extremely contraindicated to remove the listed skin formations independently at home. Even if some of them are of a non-viral and benign type, improper treatment leads to the risk of infection, additional discomfort, an increase in aesthetic visibility and spread (in number or size).
Effective modern methods determined to be safe for removal of skin growths are:
Removal of skin growths in Skin Line
At Skin Line, we have the latest generation equipment and a superbly trained team of specialists to remove skin growths of all types. Even if you are unclear about the type of lesion and the risks involved, don’t hesitate to book a consultation. Timely diagnosis and prevention will save you future complications and worries. If necessary, we will refer you for further examination to the appropriate type of specialist if it is a mass of unclear or malignant origin.
An examination by a dermatologist not only increases the chances of removing the growth as quickly, easily and painlessly as possible, but also reduces the risk of the condition worsening – both visually and physiologically.
Examination with dermatoscope
At Skin Line, we believe that the beauty and comfort of living in your own body should not come at the cost of deprivation or any health risks. Therefore, in addition to consultation and removal of the skin growth, we also provide the opportunity for a detailed examination if necessary. By analyzing the lesions, we ensure reliable prevention and early diagnosis of malignant diseases. For this purpose, we use a specialised method - examination with a dermatoscope, which also supports the monitoring of the development of benign lesions. The device works with a specific optical system with artificial light for analysis at the deepest level in the three dermal layers.
Премахване на кожни образувания с лазери
Er:YAG (инфрачервен, 2940 nm) и CO2 (10 600 nm)
Er:YAG (инфрачервени лъчи, 2940 nm) и CO2 (10 600 nm) са лазери, които могат да се използват за безболезнено отстраняване на кожни образувания /след оценка от дерматолог/. Предимството е, че топлинната енергия не причинява продължителна термична травма, което намалява риска от усложнения след процедурата. Ограниченият топлинен ефект води до минимална еритема /зачервяване/ и дискомфорт след лечението. В зависимост от вида и размера на израстъка са необходими от 1 до няколко процедури с интервал от 3 седмици.
