All these benign lesions can be treated with surgical CO2 laser.
Seborrheic keratosis and pendular fibromas are growths that, once removed, do not recur in the same spot. After the treatment, there is a proportional abrasion to the removed lesion, which heals in 10-15 days.
Xanthelasma, on the other hand, are accumulations of adipose cells on both the upper and lower eyelids, typically occurring in patients with hypercholesterolemia.
These are vascular lesions that can form in various areas of the body. Telangiectasias are more commonly found on the face and lower limbs, while angiomas are generally more widespread. Both require treatment with NdYag Laser, but in some cases of more extensive telangiectasias, the use of fractionated KtP Laser may also be useful.
Tattoos are a very common trend in our society. Unfortunately, so is their removal for various reasons: tattoo mistakes, no longer representative, and as a disqualifying factor for some competitions or jobs. The preferred laser is the Q-switched Laser. The more colorful the tattoo, the more difficult its removal because it requires a laser that operates at different wavelengths. The laser delivers a large amount of energy in a nanosecond or picosecond, breaking down the pigment. It is then all cleared by macrophages. Several sessions are required with an interval of about 2 months between them. Sometimes, the shadow of the removed tattoo may still remain.
Over the years, sun-exposed areas of many individuals can develop unaesthetic skin blemishes. They are generally located on the face, décolletage, and hands. Various lasers can be recommended, but I would mention the CO2 laser, which is the most aggressive but capable of eliminating them in a single session, leaving residual inflammation that can last for several months. In contrast, pulsed light is milder and therefore requires multiple applications, usually spaced one month apart. The Q-switched laser, on the other hand, is very effective, with less post-treatment inflammation.
Laser hair removal is one of the most requested treatments in aesthetic medicine, especially among women. Firstly, because of the inconvenience of having excess hair, and secondly, to have a progressively permanent alternative without having to undergo frequent and repeated sessions with an esthetician. Depending on the laser used, it is a very efficient therapy but still requires at least a cycle of 5-6 sessions to achieve a satisfactory and almost permanent result. These treatments are not painful, as they have integrated cooling systems with the laser pulse. The most commonly used lasers are long-pulsed Nd:YAG lasers and alexandrite lasers, which are more specific to the hair's wavelength but cannot be performed in the summer as they may react with tanned skin, leaving reversible hypopigmented areas.
