How CO₂ Laser is performed
Carbon dioxide laser removal uses the principle of vaporizing keratin and epidermis. Local anesthesia or topical anesthetic cream can be selected. If located around the eyes, eye protection is usually used. The common practice is to remove the superficial layer point by point with low to medium energy, open the cyst mouth, gently press out the keratin contents, lightly coagulate to stop bleeding if necessary, and cover with sterile dressing and repair ointment. Postoperatively, observe for bleeding, erythema, and pigment changes, and provide guidance on cleaning and sun protection, with the goal of removing the lesion while minimizing thermal effects and promoting epidermal healing. The above is general health information and not medical advice; the specific plan is subject to specialist evaluation and hospital protocols.
