Preguntas frecuentes

At EWAH we treat with CO2 laser: common warts (caused by HPV), flat warts, seborrheic warts or seborrheic keratoses, actinic keratoses (sun damage spots), fibromas and skin tags, and molluscum contagiosum. Before treatment we conduct a clinical evaluation to confirm the type of lesion and rule out any pathology requiring prior biopsy.

In most cases warts are removed in just 1 session with CO2 laser. Deeper or more extensive warts may require 1-2 additional sessions spaced 4-6 weeks apart. The procedure includes: clinical evaluation, topical or local anesthesia application, precise CO2 laser application on the lesion, area cleaning and application of healing cream. The procedure takes between 15 and 30 minutes.

After CO2 laser wart removal at EWAH the treated area will form a scab that falls off naturally in 5-10 days. It is important to: not tear off or manipulate the scab, apply healing cream recommended by the physician 2-3 times daily, keep the area clean and protected, avoid wetting the area directly for the first 48 hours, not expose to sun until the scab has completely fallen off, and use sunscreen once the area has healed.

Warts caused by HPV (human papillomavirus) can reappear because the virus may remain latent in the skin. However, CO2 laser has the highest success rate and lowest recurrence compared to other methods. To reduce the risk of recurrence at EWAH we complement with antiviral creams when necessary, and recommend strengthening the immune system. Non-viral benign lesions generally do not recur in the same area.

When CO2 laser is correctly applied by specialized physicians, the probability of scarring is very low. At EWAH we precisely calibrate the laser intensity to act on the lesion without damaging the surrounding healthy tissue. In most cases the result is a completely clean area of skin. In very deep lesions there may be mild transient hypopigmentation that improves with time and sun protection.

The cost of CO2 laser wart removal at EWAH varies according to the number, size and type of lesions to be treated.
