Laser treatment of warts and other epidermal and dermal lesions

Abstract

The CO2 laser is a versatile and effective tool for the treatment of warts and various other epidermal and dermal lesions where there is no easily targeted chromophore other than water. The development of high peak power, short-pulse, or rapidly scanned resurfacing CO2 lasers has significantly improved the safety and efficacy of using the CO2 laser. Many lesions amenable to CO2 laser vaporization can be treated by other far less expensive treatment modalities, however, and it is the laser surgeon's responsibility to use the CO2 laser only in cases in which it is demonstrably the best treatment option. The pulsed dye laser may replace the CO2 laser for the treatment of recalcitrant warts if the impressive early cure rates reported are borne out over time. Newer laser systems such as the Er:YAG laser with its extremely small zone of thermal damage may supplant the CO2 laser in the treatment of other epidermal and dermal lesions in the future.
