Abstract |
This case report demonstrates the ablation of a dermal nevus using a diode laser in the esthetically very demanding facial area of the nasal tip. The clinical outcome shows good results and a high level of patient satisfaction. Due to effective wound granulation and healing, elaborate skin grafts could be avoided. The application of the contact laser ensures safe treatment in highly perfused areas thanks to haptic feedback and good coagulative effect. The method should therefore be considered as an alternative to other ablative procedures for benign lesions in the facial area.
