Carbon-dioxide
laser skin therapy permits biopsy and destruction of appropriate
skin lesions in an office setting. After local anesthesia, laser
skin care is used in the treatment of malignant, benign, and
suspicious skin lesions (usually without the need for sutures);
rapid resolution of ingrown nails; instant and nearly painless
relief of hematomas under nails; high percentage resolution of
warts, skin tags, and hemorrhoids; and numerous other applications.
Most treatments require just one thirty-minute visit. Loss of work
time, therefore, is minimal. Biopsy reports are usually finalized
in seven to 10 days.
