Laser Corn Removal Treatment
At Nirvana Skin, Hair & Laser Clinic in Jhansi, Dr. Pratik Shivhare specializes in laser corn removal treatments, providing patients with an effective and modern approach to eliminating corns. Corning typically occurs on the feet and is caused by repeated friction or pressure on the skin, leading to painful and thickened areas.
Overview of Laser Corn Removal
1. Initial Consultation
- During the first appointment, Dr. Shivhare conducts a comprehensive evaluation of the corn(s) to determine the best treatment plan.
- He discusses the procedure, expected results, and any concerns patients may have, ensuring they are well-informed before proceeding.
2. Treatment Process
- Preparation: Before the treatment, the area around the corn is cleaned to prevent infection and ensure optimal laser effectiveness.
- Laser Application: The laser is carefully aimed at the corn, delivering concentrated energy that penetrates the thickened skin layer. This energy breaks down and vaporizes the corn tissue while preserving the surrounding skin.
- Duration: Each session is relatively quick, typically taking about 10 to 30 minutes, depending on the number and size of the corns being treated.
3. Post-Treatment Care
- After the procedure, patients may experience slight redness or swelling, which usually subsides within a few hours.
- Dr. Shivhare provides detailed aftercare instructions, which may include keeping the area clean and dry, avoiding tight shoes, and applying prescribed topical treatments if necessary.
Benefits of Laser Corn Removal
- Fast Recovery: Most patients can return to their daily activities immediately after treatment due to its minimally invasive nature.
- Reduced Pain and Discomfort: Laser treatment typically results in less discomfort compared to traditional corn removal methods, such as cutting or scraping.
- High Precision: The laser allows for precise removal of the corn, significantly reducing the risk of scarring and preserving surrounding healthy skin.
- Long-Lasting Results: Many patients find that laser removal effectively prevents the recurrence of corns when combined with proper footwear and foot care.
