NEW laser hemorrhoid removal
Hemorrhoids, i.e. hemorrhoids, are an ailment that often bothers people - it is even called a lifestyle disease. In the United States, 1/3 of the population, i.e. about 75 million citizens, suffer from it, while in Poland, the disease affects almost half of the population. Women and men, people of all ages, suffer from them. This disease also affects people who lead a sedentary lifestyle, e.g. professional drivers. Factors contributing to the development of hemorrhoidal disease include excessive obesity, a sedentary lifestyle, chronic constipation and pregnancy (especially natural childbirth), as well as alcohol and coffee abuse and a poor diet.
Hemorrhoids or varicose veins
Hemorrhoids - otherwise known as hemorrhoids or hemorrhoids . This term
comes from Greek and means nothing else than "bleeding." Hemorrhoids are
bulges of the mucous membrane in the anal canal, filled with plexuses of
blood vessels. The purpose of this plexus is to seal the rectum together
with the internal and external anal sphincters. This plexus is located
2-3 cm above the top of the anal canal and cannot normally be palpated
during examination. As a result of a poor lifestyle or past illnesses,
they develop pathological changes. As a result, the bumps lose their suspension
and start to slide off. Symptoms of this condition include rectal bleeding,
pain, burning, itching around the anus and discomfort. In the first stages
of the disease, the nodules are not visible externally. At this stage,
slight discomfort and itching are felt in the anal area. Bleeding may also
occur.
The next stages are characterized by much more troublesome itching and
burning, the hemorrhoids fall out when straining, but they go back on their
own.
The next stages are severe itching and bleeding, the lumps move outside
the anus and do not go back - they undergo ischemia and thrombosis.
There are four stages of disease advancement (I-IV), which often determine
the method of treatment. In the initial phase of the disease, patients
most often use various types of local preparations in the form of suppositories
and ointments before visiting a doctor, which have anti-inflammatory and
analgesic properties, reducing disturbing symptoms, but do not eliminate
the disease, which continues to develop.
How do we treat hemorrhoids?
Today, there are several methods of treating hemorrhoids, ranging from
classic surgical removal of lumps to minimally invasive surgical techniques.
One of the basic methods of treatment in advanced stages is surgery, which
is often very painful after the procedure and excludes from daily duties
for several weeks. Minimally invasive methods include: obliteration by
injecting sclerosing substances into the nodules, cryotherapy (freezing),
diathermy coagulation, rubber bands (Barron's procedure), and laser photocoagulation.
The latter is one of the most modern methods of treating hemorrhoids, which
involves irradiating the diseased hemorrhoids using an optical fiber powered
by Nd:YAG laser light inserted into them, which is used to induce photocoagulation
at the base of the hemorrhoid and thus cause its necrosis.
Laser removal of hemorrhoids with Nd:YAG neodymium-jag laser
This innovative laser treatment of hemorrhoids is performed in our center using a neodymium-jag Nd:YAG laser from Fotona Spectro SP with a light wavelength of 1064nm. . It is the deepest penetrating laser beam available on global markets, thanks to which it can destroy large-diameter vessels deeply hidden under the skin. At the same time, thanks to homogeneous penetration, it has a very wide range of applications and minimizes the risk of tissue damage. Clinical reports confirm: a) the Nd:YAG laser wavelength is associated with generating the greatest thermal volume in the subcutaneous tissue and has a low probability of causing damage to the adjacent dermis; b) thanks to the pulsed mode of operation of the Nd:YAG laser (QCW), it has a significantly greater ability to coagulate blood vessels compared to diode lasers operating in the continuous wave (CW) mode. Therefore, the Fotona Spectro SP Laser, thanks to the highest power and advanced safety systems, is the fastest and safest laser on the market.
What does the Fotona laser removal of hemorrhoids look like?
Laser treatment of hemorrhoids involves inducing photocoagulation at the base of the hemorrhoid, which causes necrosis.
How long does the laser removal of hemorrhoids take?
The procedure takes a very short time, approximately 30 minutes, and is a completely painless procedure. It is performed under local anesthesia. The patient can immediately return home to his daily activities. After about a week, the hemorrhoids should completely disappear.
Advantages of laser removal of hemorrhoids:
- outpatient procedure; does not require hospitalization (the patient goes home immediately after the procedure)
- quick procedure; lasts about 15 minutes
- lasting effect
- an effective alternative to classic surgical procedures
Contraindications to laser therapy:
- Pregnancy
- Diabetes
- Pacemaker
- Heart disease
- Liver diseases

- Skin inflammation (bacterial, viral and mycosis)
- Cancer
- Active viral or bacterial lesions on the skin
- Use of certain medicines:
- Medicines that reduce blood clotting; anticoagulants, e.g. aspirin
Why do we perform laser treatment of hemorrhoids with Nd:YAG and Er:YAG FOTONA SPECTRO SP?
Fotona neodymium-jag Nd:YAG and Er:YAG lasers are modern devices enabling a number of procedures in the field of surgery, dermatology and aesthetic medicine. The spectrum of applications is very wide, ranging from laser epilation, through acne treatment, photorejuvenation, to the treatment of skin cancer, removal of varicose veins and laser lipolysis procedures. The Spectro SP laser achieves maximum effects with a minimum depth of laser beam penetration. This laser is the ideal tool for fast, cold ablation.
The average power in quasi-continuous pulse mode is 30 WAT. The competition doesn't even come close to this result. Thanks to this, treatments are performed much faster and more effective. In the hands of a doctor, this laser is an almost perfect tool.
Effective treatment of hemorrhoids with Fotona laser:
Nd:YAG Laser Photons with long pulses is characterized by homogeneous penetration and low absorption by tissue chromophores. These two advantages allow the Nd:YAG laser to reach deeper structures without damaging the epidermis, regardless of skin type. Thanks to the pulsed mode of operation of the Nd:YAG laser (QCW), it has a significantly greater ability to coagulate blood vessels compared to diode lasers operating in the continuous wave (CW) mode.
Innovation of the Nd:YAG and Er:YAG Fotona Spectro SP lasers
This laser is equipped with a number of innovative solutions such as EFC (impulse feedback control) - a system that provides a previously unavailable level of control over the energy of the laser beam pulse. Thanks to each calibration of the device, the laser always provides a beam with precisely defined parameters, which increases the safety and effectiveness of the treatment. Another innovation in Fotona Spectro SP lasers is the VSP system (variable square pulse - a patented solution) that allows the generation of a pulse with given parameters with a negligible rise and fall time of the pulse energy. This increases the efficiency of the laser beam and simultaneously improves the effectiveness and speed of treatment compared to other devices.
The Fotona Spectro SP laser, thanks to the highest power and advanced safety system, is the fastest and safest laser on the market.
The security of the Fotona Spectro SP system is:
- EFC (impulse feedback control)
Thanks to this system, we avoid a decrease in laser power during the treatment,
which could lead to weaker or incomplete results. We also do not have to
worry about energy surges that may cause tissue damage.
- VSP (Variable Square Pulse)
Unlike other systems, where there is a sudden jump in energy and then a slow decrease, in the Fotona Spectro SP system the pulse energy distribution is even. This protects us against overheating and tissue burns. At the same time, the effectiveness and safety of treatments are radically improved
The effectiveness of the Fotona Spectro SP system is:
