Warts, verrucas, fibroids, as well as moles and discolorations are changes that do not always require surgical treatment, but are associated with an unaesthetic appearance of the skin surface. This is especially true in situations where they appear on the face, attracting the attention of those in close proximity.

TYPES OF SKIN CHANGES
  • Milia are tiny white or yellowish bumps that resemble acne. They are usually the size of poppy seeds, but can range from a few to several millimeters in size. They are commonly found on the face, eyelids, cheeks, and temples, sometimes around the mouth and on the chest. They often appear in groups but can also be scattered individually. They can be mistaken for whiteheads.
  • Sebaceous cysts can be located anywhere on the body. They typically occur individually and can grow to a large size. In such cases, surgical assistance may be necessary for removal.
  • Fibromas are the result of excessive growth of fibrous connective tissue. They usually do not cause pain. When located in areas prone to friction, they may become irritated, itchy, and red. They are a common cosmetic issue but usually not a threat.
  • Hard fibromas most commonly occur individually on the lower limbs in young individuals. They manifest as single subcutaneous nodules with a sack-like or spherical shape. They are hard, smooth or rough, and can move under the skin when pressure is applied. They can be red, flesh-colored, or brown. They typically range from 2 millimeters to 5 centimeters in diameter and do not cause pain.
  • Soft fibromas are skin growths in the form of lumps with a flesh-colored or slightly darker, light brown hue. They often occur in multiples and can be found on the face, eyelids, neck, groin, trunk, upper limbs, and underarms. They are soft to the touch, may be connected to the skin by a thin band of tissue, or grow directly from it. In rare cases, they can rupture, bleed, and lead to local inflammation.
  • Ruby points (senile angiomas, ruby spots, De Morgan spots) are benign skin changes in the form of small red spots ranging from one to several millimeters in diameter. They are very common in both genders, usually appearing after the age of 30 and increasing in number with age.
  • Flat warts (verruca plana, verruca plana juvenilis) are raised skin changes caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV). They most commonly appear on the hands and face as small, flat-topped, light or dark brown bumps. Although generally not dangerous, they can cause discomfort and affect self-esteem. Moreover, flat warts have a high propensity for spreading rapidly across the body, making removal recommended even for single lesions. Plantar warts can cause significant discomfort when walking.
  • Seborrheic keratosis (senile wart) are rough, dark brown skin growths that can appear anywhere on the body, most commonly on the neck and back. They resemble dark warts and are rough to the touch. They are more likely to develop in individuals over the age of 35. If left untreated, seborrheic keratosis can slowly grow to several centimeters in diameter. Xanthelasma are yellowish skin growths that typically form on the upper and lower eyelids but can appear on the skin throughout the body, such as in the form of yellowish tendons. Xanthelasma are caused by the accumulation of lipids (fats) under the skin. Research has shown a direct link between the presence of xanthelasma on the eyelids and the level of cholesterol in the blood.
  • Xanthelasma are benign changes that do not pose a risk of malignancy and do not interfere with eyelid function. They are primarily cosmetic issues and can be removed using CO2 laser, plasma, or cryotherapy.
HOW DOES THE PROCEDURE OF REMOVING SKIN LESIONS LOOK LIKE?

Before the procedure, we assess and consult whether the changes that have occurred qualify for the treatment. In the case of mild changes that do not require further diagnostic testing such as histopathological examination, and are only aesthetic defects, such as fibroids or glandulars, it is possible to remove them using minimally invasive methods (plasma, laser, electrocoagulation, etc.). Subsequently, the most appropriate technology is selected, and the area undergoing the procedure is disinfected and anesthetized. The procedure lasts from a few to several tens of minutes, depending on the extent of the skin changes. The procedure is a one-time occurrence, and the skin changes disappear completely, leaving no traces or scars. Only in the case of larger changes, it may be necessary to repeat the procedure.

DERMATOSCOPY

Some skin lesions should be examined using a dermatoscope before removal. It is an optical device that magnifies 10 - 20 times, with side illumination, which allows to obtain a "three-dimensional image" of the skin. The purpose of the dermatoscope examination is to initially differentiate skin conditions, e.g. pigmented moles, malignant melanoma, blue nevus, seborrheic wart, hemangioma and many others.

Electrocoagulation - surgical diathermy

Electrocoagulation is a simple and safe method used in dermatology and cosmetology to remove unsightly skin lesions using high-frequency electrical current. The doctor applies an electrode to the skin lesion. The heat generated by the device at an appropriate temperature damages the structure of the lesion by coagulating proteins. As a result of electrocoagulation, the tissue forming the lesion is destroyed. The procedure is single-session and effective. In rare cases, the lesion may grow back in the same spot, requiring a repeat procedure.

What does the electrocoagulation procedure involve?

The procedure involves applying an electrode to the lesion and destroying it using an electric arc that forms between the active electrode (applied to the lesion) and the passive one. The current passing through the electrodes generates heat, causing thermal damage (cutting, coagulation) of proteins in the tissue. During the procedure, temperatures of up to 200 degrees Celsius are reached, leading to immediate damage of the unwanted lesions. A small scab usually forms at the treatment site, which typically disappears within several to a dozen days.

A special device equipped with various metal tips (electrodes) of different shapes is used for the procedure: needles, needles with balls, loops, knives, or electrodes for non-invasive closure of blood vessels without piercing the skin. The type of electrodes used depends not only on the size and location of the lesions but also on their depth in the skin. These tips are sterilized after each use.

Indications for electrocoagulation:

  • viral warts, or common warts
  • flat warts and seborrheic warts
  • milia and fibromas
  • xanthelasma
  • sebaceous cysts, or steatocystomas
  • overgrown sebaceous and sweat glands
  • dilated blood vessels on the face, body, and legs
  • telangiectasias
  • excessive hair growth - for both dark and light hair

Contraindications for electrocoagulation:

  • pacemaker
  • coagulation disorders
  • circulatory disorders
  • diabetes (healing difficulties)
  • pregnancy

Cryosurgery - dermatological cryotherapy
expressing skin changes

It is a method of treatment with cold, consisting in local, strong freezing of the tissue using the so-called "snow" nitrous oxide or liquid nitrogen. After freezing, damaged tissues undergo spontaneous demarcation, and the tissue is properly rebuilt, without fibrosis or cavities. The resulting scar is flexible, collagen-free, with good cosmetic effects, difficult to achieve with other methods. The treatment is bloodless, a vesicle may appear, then a scab which falls off after about 2 weeks.

Cryosurgery is used to treat various skin lesions:

  • common warts
  • flat warts
  • fibromas
  • seborrheic warts
  • some birthmarks
  • prints
  • scars - especially hypertrophic fibrotic, irregular
  • vascular changes - hemangiomas, dilated blood vessels
  • acne lesions
  • neoplastic changes
CO2 laser removal of skin lesions

CO2 laser is a technology that allows for non-invasive and fast removal of benign skin lesions and other growths.

How does CO2 laser work?

The device, depending on the type of head used, emits a focused or scattered beam of light (fractional mode). The focused beam of CO2 laser allows for cutting or vaporizing skin lesions, providing better cosmetic results than surgical removal of a mole because it makes them disappear completely, and the traces of the procedure are almost invisible. The scar that forms depends on the size of the removed lesion and can be the size of a "pinhead" or a few millimeters in diameter. The effectiveness of the treatment has been clinically confirmed, and the effects are almost immediate.

Removal of skin lesions using CO2 laser requires prior detailed qualification by the performing physician, usually with the use of dermatoscopic examination.

Removing skin lesions with Plexr Plus plasma

Plexr Plus is a device based on modern plasma technology created by ionizing particles in the air between the device and the patient's skin - an electric arc is formed, which can be imagined as a small lightning bolt running from the device's tip to the skin's surface. This allows for the localized generation of high temperatures, which causes the evaporation of unwanted skin lesions. It is a minimally invasive procedure that does not damage deeper layers of the skin, eliminating the possibility of complications such as bleeding, necrosis, and damage to adjacent healthy tissues.

Indications for the procedure:

  • removal of fibroids,
  • removal of warts/corns,
  • removal of ruby points,
  • removal of milia,
  • removal of chalazions
  • scar and stretch marks reduction,
  • reduction of discolorations and pigmented nevi

The skin lesions disappear completely, leaving no visible marks or scars. The procedure is usually a one-time treatment. Only in the case of larger or numerous lesions, a repeat procedure may be necessary.
