CO2 Laser Treatment for Actinic and Seborrheic Keratosis: Safe & Effective

CO2 Laser for Actinic and Seborrheic Keratosis

Skin growths like actinic keratosis (AK) and seborrheic keratosis (SK) are common but can affect your skin’s health and appearance. At Tulua, we offer CO2 laser treatments as a safe, effective solution to address these keratoses, restoring smoother, healthier skin with minimal downtime.

What are Actinic and Seborrheic Keratosis?

Actinic Keratosis (AK):

Often caused by sun exposure, AK appears as rough, scaly patches on the skin. While benign, AK can progress to skin cancer if untreated, making early intervention critical.

Seborrheic Keratosis (SK):

SK is a benign, waxy, or wart-like growth that can appear anywhere on the body. While harmless, these growths are often bothersome for cosmetic reasons.

How CO2 Laser Works for Keratosis

The CO2 laser is a highly precise tool that uses targeted energy to remove unwanted skin lesions layer by layer. It vaporizes the affected skin cells while leaving surrounding tissues unharmed.

For Actinic Keratosis:

CO2 laser removes the damaged cells, reducing the risk of progression to skin cancer. It also stimulates collagen production, improving skin texture and tone.

For Seborrheic Keratosis:

The laser gently eliminates raised or thickened lesions, leaving smoother skin without the need for surgery.

Benefits of CO2 Laser Treatment

Safe and Effective: Minimally invasive with precise targeting of affected areas.

Quick Procedure: Most sessions are completed in under an hour.

Minimal Downtime: Recovery is typically fast with manageable side effects like redness or mild swelling.

Improved Skin Quality: Stimulates collagen, leaving treated areas smoother and rejuvenated.

What to Expect During and After Treatment

1?? Consultation: Your skin is assessed to determine the best course of action.

2?? Treatment: The treatment area is numbed with a topical numbing cream for comfort. Then the CO2 laser is applied to the keratosis, removing it layer by layer.

3?? Recovery: Healing occurs over a few days, with noticeable improvements in skin clarity and texture over the coming weeks and months.

Results are long-lasting, and the treatment can be repeated if new lesions develop.
