Today there are three popular methods of treatment of cystous educations.

Removal of an atheroma in the surgical way

Surgical intervention is shown if other ways did not give notable effect. Operation is performed under a local anesthesia within 5-10 minutes and includes the following stages:

• Preparation and processing of a zone of influence by disinfecting solutions;

• Hemostasis – a bleeding stop from the damaged vessels (if those were);
• Processing of a wound disinfecting solutions;
• Suture and an aseptic bandage on the operated zone (if the section small or operation is performed on a pilar part of the head, a bandage is not applied).

Thanks to a surgical method of treatment it is possible to get rid even of large fatty tumors, at the same time the postoperative scar, as a rule, is absent. The lack of a way is that during removal of an atheroma on the head the vybrivaniye of hair is required, and it causes negative reaction in women.

Radio wave removal of an atheroma

One of the most effective and safe methods is radio wave removal of an atheroma. Advantages of this way are obvious:

• 100% a guarantee from a recurrence, that is repeated emergence in the same place;
• Lack of need to put stitches;
• The most bystry term of rehabilitation. According to reviews, during removal of an atheroma this way recovery occurs for 3-5 day. For comparison, at classical operation seams are removed only for the tenth days;

• During removal of an atheroma on the head it is not required to shave hair.

Operation is performed under the influence of local anesthesia on an outpatient basis and takes about 15-20 minutes. By means of the special equipment which generates radio waves cells of a new growth evaporate.

Radio wave removal of an atheroma is contraindicated in the presence of a pacemaker or if metal objects are obese the patient (prostheses, pins etc.). It is the only prohibition on holding a procedure.

Removal of an atheroma laser

The laser method, as well as treatment by radio waves, is very widespread as has good cosmetic effect and does not leave hems on skin that is especially important at elimination of new growths on a face.

Small fatty tumors (to 5 mm) delete by means of the carbon dioxide laser with an evaporation method. At the same time evaporation happens a layer behind a layer: at first contents of cystous education, and then and all cover are removed.

Removal of an atheroma the laser can be carried out together with surgical intervention. Such way is applied in case of the big size of a fatty tumor to remove it together with a cover and to prevent repeated emergence.

Among other advantages of the laser it is possible to note the disinfecting effect, painlessness and a beskrovnost of the procedure, and also the short period of recovery. Besides, operation does not demand a vybrivaniye in case of its carrying out on a pilar part of a body.

The procedure of removal of an atheroma the laser lasts about 20 minutes, at the same time the beam does not damage surrounding fabrics, and works precisely in the purpose. The contact with skin does not happen, and it means that the risk of infection is excluded.

If them not to operate, then they will grow and inflame, and it will complicate treatment and will extend rehabilitation terms. Timely removal of an atheroma, according to reviews, helps to avoid complications and to gain the expected cosmetic effect.
