Great news in the
dermatological field:
New treatments with devices
that use laser energy
can eliminate benign
skin tumors (as
keratoses, keratoacanthomas,
warts, nevi,
adenomas, molluscs,
keloids or
xanthelasma) without
resorting to surgery. |
Conventional
treatment for these skin problems
is surgical removal
or freezing (cryo
therapy), which involve pain
during and after
surgery, anesthesia,
scarring and other problems.
Laser
treatment with the micro fractionated LOTUS II
Erbium Laser is performed
in practice.
Not being required
anesthesia procedure is
faster and safer.
You may notice a redness
or discomfort lasting
a few hours, but no
subsequent scarring
and can resume
normal activities almost
immediately. Although
medical insurance usually
do not cover this
treatment, it is
accessible.
Most Frequent type of tumours.
Almost everyone
develops one sometime in their
life. Keratoses,

or seborrheic,
are the most frequent.

as maculae more
or less flat, brown,
with sharp borders, but

few millimeters to several centimeters,
and its color varies from
dark brown to a
light brown. They can be
solitary or multiple lesions, which appear
most often on the face
and trunk, following the
folds of the skin.
Depending on their position,
seborrheic keratoses
can be very annoying:
in the neck or wrists
are attached to
clothing. In
other cases they may be
cosmetically undesirable.
Generally keratoses
diagnosis is easy.
However, pigmented
seborrheic keratoses
can be difficult to
distinguish from melanocytic lesions,
including melanoma, and
large keratoses
may be mistaken for atypical
nevi.
Therefore it is always
important to have a
thorough diagnosis prior to
any treatment.
Other benign tumors of
skin are removed with
similar procedures, once
correctly diagnosed, are
keratoacanthomas (raised
lesions with a
fast-growing dark
and depressed central point, called
crater) of which
an estimated 25%
becomes malignant. Also
known are eliminated
xanthelasmas, growths in
the skin containing
cholesterol esters
and eyelids are
presented as
raised spots, which have a
major aesthetic
drawback. |
