Warts, fibromas and skin lesions: how to remove them with laser
Which benign skin lesions can be treated with laser, why a prior medical assessment is essential and what recovery is like, in Barcelona.
Many benign skin lesions —warts, soft fibromas (skin tags), seborrheic keratoses, cherry angiomas or small lesions— can be removed with laser precisely and with good healing. An ablative laser (for example Er:YAG) vaporises the lesion layer by layer with very little damage to the surrounding tissue.
First, assess the lesion
Before removing anything there is an essential step: assessing what it is. Suspicious lesions that bleed, grow quickly or change in shape or colour carry a higher risk of being malignant and must not be treated as something cosmetic —they are referred for medical review and, if appropriate, a biopsy. At Impuls Longevity, if there is any doubt, it is studied before any action.
How does the laser work?
The Er:YAG laser removes the lesion precisely while limiting heat on the healthy skin, which is associated with faster recovery, fewer pigmentation changes and a lower scarring risk than other techniques. Most benign lesions are removed in a single session; some need a follow-up review.
Recovery and aftercare
After the procedure a small crust forms and flakes off within a few days; it's important not to scratch it and to keep the area clean. Sun protection is key during healing to avoid dark spots. We give you specific aftercare guidance for a better result.
Where to treat them
It should be performed by qualified staff and always after assessing the lesion. At Impuls Longevity (Barcelona) we work with Er:YAG and Nd:YAG lasers and, where appropriate, refer for medical review before any procedure.
