What is CO2 Laser Surgery

CO₂ Laser Surgery is an advanced surgical procedure that uses a carbon dioxide laser to precisely remove unwanted or abnormal tissue with minimal bleeding and reduced damage to surrounding areas.


This technique is widely used for excising skin lesions, warts, moles, tumors, and other soft tissue abnormalities.


The laser effectively vaporizes or cuts through tissue while sealing blood vessels, leading to faster healing and minimal scarring compared to traditional surgery.

Things you should know before the treatment

  1. A medical consultation is required to assess the condition and determine the need for laser surgery.


  1. Avoid sun exposure and certain medications, such as blood thinners, before the procedure if advised by your doctor.


  1. Depending on the size and location of the lesion, local or general anesthesia may be used for comfort.


  1. Mild swelling, redness, or scabbing may occur post-procedure as part of the healing process.


  1. Patients with active infections or certain medical conditions should consult their doctor before undergoing the procedure.

What happens during the treatment

  1. The treatment area is cleaned, and anesthesia is applied if needed.


  1. The CO₂ laser is used to precisely remove the targeted tissue while sealing blood vessels to minimize bleeding.

Recovery and results: What to expect
