Growing on the body of papillomas are considered a source of infection and can significantly spoil the appearance of a person. Removal of papillomas with the most modern methods allows you to often return to the body in one session the attractiveness and prevent the development of possible complications of HPV in the future.
Ways to remove papillomas
Treatment with papillomas should begin with a visit to the dermatologist.
The doctor will examine the skin, determine the location of the main papillomas and their appearance, and will assign a number of necessary tests. And on this basis, he will choose effective therapy.
The papillomas themselves on the body, including intimate spaces, are removed by various modern methods, characterized by the least pain and almost no side effects.
Some methods of removal are indicated for use only in those parts of the body where the skin is sufficiently dense. When choosing a method for getting rid of papillomatous sprouting, the cost of the procedure is taken into account.
Laser beam
To use a laser beam to remove small virus outgrowths on the skin began quite a long time ago. Such a method is highly efficient, one session can be disposed of at once from several formations.
The papilloma is affected by a laser beam, under its influence, the altered cells evaporate, and simultaneously there is thrombosis of the nearby capillaries.
Modern instruments for laser treatment have a number of advantages, these are:
- Painless procedure. In most cases, the patient feels only a slight tingling, if desired, the doctor can apply a local anesthetic to the skin.
- Impossibility of wound infection. During the procedure, there is no contact between the skin and the instruments, and therefore the risk of penetration of pathogens is excluded.
- Absence after healing of scars. At use of modern devices the risk of reception of a burn on a skin is excluded also.
The laser removal session with papillomas lasts only a few minutes, after which the patient can immediately go home.
The doctor should warn that on the site of the impact there will be a crust that does not need to be touched, moistened, greased with creams. She herself will disappear in a few days, under it will be a small pinkish spot. Complete healing of the tissues and comparing them in color with a healthy skin takes three to four weeks.
Laser destruction is performed if the size of the formations does not exceed 5 mm. It is necessary to take into account the contraindications to it when prescribing the procedure.
Laser removal of papillomas is not prescribed:
- In case of exacerbation of any chronic diseases, during acute infections.
- If there are signs of bacterial or fungal skin damage at the site of papilloma growth.
- During pregnancy and lactation.
- Patients with diabetes, photodermatosis and oncological diseases.
- With high fever and fever.
- For diseases of the nervous system that show seizures( epilepsy and a number of others)
Before the procedure, the patient should be warned that during the two weeks before the session, the skin should be protected from ultraviolet light. This means that you do not need to visit the solarium and it is recommended to spend less time in direct sunlight.
Cryodestruction
Cryodestruction - this method implies the influence on the papilloma of a substance with a low temperature - liquid nitrogen. The technique provides a deep freezing of the formation, as a result of which cells die and are gradually rejected by healthy skin cells.
Cryodestruction is performed by a special apparatus, the time of action on the papilloma depends on the size of the build-up, the depth of its spread.

After the session the papilloma becomes hard, cold, gets white. After a few hours, a blister forms at the site of the exposure, redness and a slight swelling may appear.
Then the blister is transformed into a scab, it can remain on the body for up to 6 weeks. The scab can not be touched, since under it there is healing of the wound and the formation of new epithelial cells.
The main advantages of cryodestruction are:
- The minimum time required for a single session.
- Slight soreness.
- Good tolerability at any age.
- Affordable price.
- No need to use anesthetics.
The disadvantages of the procedure include the possible formation of scars. A similar complication is possible when the papillomatous growths of the deep layers of the skin are covered, when liquid nitrogen is applied to too sensitive and thin skin.
The method is not used if there are signs indicating the development of a malignant process at the place of education.
Also to the group of contraindications for this method are:
- Presence of a patient with an anamnesis of oncological diseases.
- Acute infectious processes.
- Increased sensitivity to low temperatures.
If the body has a large wart, it may take two or three sessions of cryodestruction. Complete healing of the skin with restoration of its color occurs in most people in about three to four months, sometimes this period is extended to six months.
Electrocoagulation
Electrocoagulation is the use of high-frequency current to remove viral formations. With the aid of a special apparatus with a loop at the end through which the current passes, the cutaneous formation is cut off.
Thermal radiation leads to the destruction of protein molecules in the treated tissues and necrosis of the skin.
The method is used when the papilloma protrudes over the body or has a thin stem. In the presence of a foot, the formation is removed almost instantaneously, and in order to remove the electrocautery protruding growth, several procedures are necessary during which the changed skin is removed gradually. Coagulation provides soldering of blood vessels, so there is no bleeding.
Electrocoagulation has several main advantages, which is sometimes especially important, include:
- The possibility of histological examination of cut off papilloma. During laser treatment and when using liquid nitrogen, the destroyed tissues can not be sent to a histology, so if there is a suspicion of a malignant process, electrocoagulation can be prescribed.
- Rapid recovery of the skin.
- Low cost of the procedure.
- Possibility of removing several threadlike papillomas in one procedure.
When carrying out electrocoagulation at the patient's request, local anesthesia can be used. In contrast to laser exposure and cryodestruction, the electrocoagulator touches the skin during the procedure, so the skin is treated with antiseptics until the session and for several days afterwards.
At the site of exposure, a small crust may remain for several days, which is gradually rejected.
Contraindications to the appointment of electrocoagulation are:
- Exacerbations or acute phase of somatic diseases.
- Inflammatory and infectious processes.
- The patient's increased sensitivity to electrocautery and local anesthetics.
- . Oncological diseases.
After electrocoagulation, as well as after other methods of removal of formations, it is necessary to follow all the skin care recommendations of the doctor and improve their immunity. If everything is done correctly, you can minimize the risk of a recurrence of a viral infection.

The essence of the method is that a radio wave of a different range is fed to the end of the thinnest electrode.
The electrode is directed to the necessary place on the skin, where under the influence of the radio wave, energy in the intercellular spaces increases, and this leads to instantaneous heating and evaporation of the affected cells.
Depending on the size of the papilloma and their depth of penetration, different power and waveform parameters are set, this allows to remove the formation without affecting healthy tissues. The electrode itself during the session does not heat up and does not come into direct contact with the skin, therefore a number of possible complications are completely excluded.
The benefits of using a "radio knife" for the removal of papillomas include:

The healing of the wound should occur naturally, after about a week the corpse will fall off, then the full restoration of the skin will take place within one to three months. After the radio wave method, one should refrain from natural and artificial sunburn for two weeks.
Contraindications to the radio wave method:
- Presence of a pacemaker.
- Decompensated stage of pulmonary-cardiac diseases.
- Acute infectious processes.
- Hepatitis and diabetes mellitus at the stage of exacerbation.
