Introduction of CO2 laser

The CO2 laser is a gas laser with a wavelength of 10.6 μ m. It can vaporize tissues to achieve the purpose of treatment. Main treatment: vascular skin disease, pigmented skin disease, malignant tumor, benign tumor or cyst, keratosis, hyperplasia, and other skin diseases.

The CO2 laser is a kind of laser with strong pertinence and an emission wavelength of 1060nm, which is the longest wavelength in the current market. Its target is water in skin tissue. It is not only used for medical and aesthetic purposes, but also for cutting, vaporizing, carbonizing, coagulation, and irradiation of human tissues. It is called a laser scalpel, and can also vaporize tissues to achieve therapeutic purposes.

Application of CO2 laser

1. Vascular dermatosis: suppurative granuloma, cherry-like hemangioma (commonly known as "fu nevi"), vascular fibroma, angiokeratoma, etc.

2. Pigmented skin disease: small nevus, congenital giant hairy nevus, etc.

3. Malignant tumor: resection or gasification of basal cell carcinoma, epithelial cell carcinoma, Bowen's disease, etc.

4. Scavenge: For example, herpes zoster or chronic ulcer often covers a thick scab. Gasifying the scab with a carbon dioxide laser is less painful and bleeding, and the wound healing is faster. It can replace the previous metal knife.

5. Benign tumors or cysts: such as follicular epithelioma, syringoma, seborrheic keratosis or senile plaques, chestnut granuloma, sebaceous hyperplasia, lip sebaceous hyperplasia, neurofibromatosis, multiple sebaceous cysts, epidermal nevus, etc.

6. Keratification, hyperplasia, and other skin diseases: such as warts, cauliflower, infectious soft warts, corns, calluses, crab foot swelling, porokeratosis, embedded toenails, benign familial acne, etc.

Instructions for wound treatment after CO2 laser

1. Clean the wound after the laser for the first time, wash the affected part with physiological salt water or boiled cold boiled water twice in the morning and evening, and wash the exudate and the ointment originally applied. Do not rub the affected part with force, then rub the anti-inflammatory ointment prescribed by the doctor, and apply it thinly and evenly on the affected part.

2. The wound should be kept dry as far as possible. Before the scabbed skin falls off, it should not be heavily makeup to avoid inflammation and infection. After the scabbed skin falls off, the ointment does not need to be used again.

3. The wounds on the face will be scabbed and peeled off in about seven days, and the wounds on other parts will heal in about 10-14 days. Do not scrape the scab off with your fingers, but let the scab fall off naturally, which is better for skin healing.

4. After the wound is scabbed and peeled, the skin will be pink and more sensitive to the sun. At this time, you should pay attention to sunscreen. When you go out, you should hold a dark umbrella and apply sunscreen lotion for half an hour before going out. Because ultraviolet light will cause skin melanin deposition and affect the treatment effect, sunscreen is very important.

5. If there is pigmentation after the wound is healed, the patient should go back to the clinic to give treatment to the doctor. Generally, about three months to six months will slowly return to normal skin color. During this period, pay attention to sunscreen. When going out in the daytime, wear sunscreen lotion. When there is sunlight, hold a dark umbrella or wear a hat.
