Skin moles
The CO2 laser is also a very useful device for outpatient surgery as it simultaneously cuts and coagulates tissue.
For this reason it is a very suitable treatment in cases of benign neoformations of the skin that cause disturbances or represent imperfections like mole.
Lesions should be considered electively to be treated with CO2 laser cutting lesions such as dermatofibromas, keratoses, small sebaceous cysts, xantelasmas if small. Laser incision burns the margin therefore this type of treatment is not indicated for suspicious or frankly malignant lesions that require histological examination.
The laser treatment is outpatient, takes place under local anesthesia in a few minutes. A crust will form on the treated area which, once fallen, will be replaced by new skin.
