Removal of Papillomas with CO2 Laser
CO2 laser papilloma removal is a medical and cosmetic procedure used to eliminate papillomas, which are non-cancerous, benign skin growths caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV). These growths are often small, soft and protrude from the surface of the skin. The CO2 laser is used in this procedure because of its ability to produce a focused beam of laser energy. We understand the impact papillomas can have on your confidence and overall well-being. Our experienced dermatologists are committed to providing a safe, effective, fast and painless solution to your papilloma removal.
