ArtMedica offers this service in a safe and professional setting, ensuring optimal results.

How does the CO2 laser work for the removal of papillomas and keratoses?
The CO2 laser is an advanced medical instrument used for the precise excision of benign skin lesions such as papillomas, keratoses, and dermal nevi. It works by emitting a light beam at a specific wavelength, which is absorbed by the water in the skin cells.
This absorption causes the lesion to vaporize, allowing the removal of the affected tissue without damaging the healthy surrounding areas. The procedure is minimally invasive and reduces the risk of bleeding and infection.
What are papillomas and keratoses and how can they be treated with the CO2 laser?
Skin papillomas are soft, skin-colored growths caused by friction or by the HPV virus.
- Seborrheic keratoses: brown or black spots, slightly raised, caused by skin aging and sun exposure.
- Actinic keratoses: rough, scaly lesions that appear on sun-exposed skin and need to be monitored by a dermatologist.
- Warts (viral verrucae): growths caused by HPV infection, which can appear on hands, feet, and other areas of the body.
At ArtMedica, we use the Lutronic eCO2 Laser for precise and minimally invasive excision of benign lesions, ensuring quick recovery and optimal aesthetic results.

How can the removal of papillomas and keratoses help you?
Removing papillomas and keratoses using the CO2 laser offers multiple benefits:
- Precise and controlled excision: The CO2 laser allows the removal of lesions with high precision, protecting the healthy surrounding tissues. This reduces the risk of recurrence and completely eliminates the lesion.
- Shorter recovery time: Compared to traditional surgical methods or electrocauterization, healing is faster, and post-procedure inflammation is significantly reduced.
- Minimal risk of bleeding and infection: The laser instantly coagulates blood vessels during the excision, which means less bleeding and a reduced risk of infection.
- Minimal or no scarring: Unlike a scalpel, the laser stimulates the natural regeneration of the skin and promotes aesthetic healing, with minimal risk of scarring.
- Quick and minimally invasive procedure: Laser excision takes only a few minutes, and patients can return to their daily activities immediately after the procedure, without requiring hospitalization.
- Less discomfort for the patient: Local anesthesia and advanced laser technology ensure a nearly painless treatment, and recovery is comfortable.
How is the excision of papillomas and keratoses with the CO2 laser performed at ArtMedica clinic?

At ArtMedica, the CO2 laser excision process follows these steps:
- Initial consultation: The procedure begins with an evaluation by the dermatologist, who examines the lesion using dermatoscopy to determine its nature and confirm the indication for CO2 laser excision. Based on the diagnosis, a personalized treatment plan is established.
- Preparation of the treated area: Before the procedure, the area is cleaned and disinfected. For the patient’s comfort, local anesthesia is applied, either as an anesthetic cream or by injection, depending on the size and location of the lesion.
- The procedure itself: Using the Lutronic eCO2 laser, the lesion is excised with maximum precision, without affecting the surrounding healthy tissues. The laser seals blood vessels during the procedure, which reduces bleeding and the risk of infection. This method is minimally invasive and allows faster healing compared to traditional surgical methods.
- Post-procedure care: After the excision, the patient receives care instructions for optimal healing. Cleaning the area and applying an antibiotic or healing ointment is recommended, along with avoiding sun exposure and following hygiene measures to prevent complications. If necessary, a follow-up visit is scheduled to monitor the healing process.
