Photocoagulation

Photocoagulation (photo- and coagulation) is a treatment method that is used to remove various tumors on the skin. This method is based on the use of high-energy light rays that cause coagulation (clotting) of proteins in skin cells.

The photocoagulation process occurs as follows: the doctor uses a special device that emits light rays with a certain wavelength. These rays hit the affected area of ​​the skin and cause coagulation of proteins, which leads to the destruction of cells and the cessation of tumor growth.

Photocoagulation can be used to remove various types of growths such as age spots, moles, warts, papillomas and other benign tumors.

One of the advantages of photocoagulation is its safety and painlessness. The procedure does not leave any scars or scars, and there is no need for anesthesia. In addition, photocoagulation is a fast and effective treatment method that allows you to get rid of tumors in a few minutes.

However, like any other treatment method, photocoagulation has its drawbacks. For example, some types of growths may be resistant to light, in which case repeated treatment may be required. Also, if the procedure is performed incorrectly, it can lead to serious complications such as skin burns or even tissue necrosis.

In general, photocoagulation is an effective and safe method for treating various skin tumors. However, before carrying out the procedure, you should consult with your doctor and make sure that this method is suitable for your particular case.

Photocoagulation is an effective way to remove various types of benign neoplasms of the skin and mucous membranes, which is based on achieving a local increase in temperature with high-intensity laser radiation or using high-frequency electric current, which leads to irreversible destruction of pathologically altered tissues.

Using the photocoagulation method, the following is performed: - removal of moles, warts, papillomas, molluscum contagiosum, calluses; - surgical treatment of pigmented skin dysplasia: vitiligo, leucoderma, hereditary lentigo and melasma, after ineffective cryotherapy (due to the development of resistance in pathogenic fungi); - treatment of dysplastic diseases and neoplasms of the vagina and cervix; - the use of a photocoagulator is indicated for patients with large ventral, umbilical or postoperative hernias, as well as with chronic trophic ulcers of the leg.
