Sometimes skin defects cause us a lot of suffering. There are not so many people with perfect skin, and almost every second person experiences seasonal skin “depression.” But slight flaking due to dryness is nothing compared to constant new growths. These “bastards” not only poison the mood, but also promise further consequences in the future.
One of these skin phenomena is wen, which, thank God, can be eliminated through surgery. It is laser removal of wen that will be discussed in this article.
It's time to act
Even the most harmless tumors on a person’s face or body cause distress due to aesthetic and sometimes physical discomfort.
Removing fatty tumors with a laser is one of the safest and most effective ways to say goodbye to a problematic tumor, which minimizes the risk of reappearance, as well as the likelihood of the formation of edema, inflammatory processes or infiltrates.
In what cases should this procedure be performed? Is it safe and is it always necessary to remove lipomas with a laser? We'll talk about this and much more in this article.
Formation
A lipoma forms on any part of the body where there is adipose tissue. This procedure is done not only on the body. Many people dream of laser removal of fatty deposits on their face. How inappropriately, these formations pop up either on the eyelid, then under the eye, or on the bridge of the nose. Wherever, physiological and psychological discomfort is guaranteed for a person with this problem.
Externally, lipomas resemble a subcutaneous formation with a soft consistency. The size of the formations reaches about 2-3 centimeters in diameter. When palpated, the patient does not experience any pain, perhaps this factor contributes to such frequent requests from people for laser removal of fatty tissue under the eye - there is no painful sensation and is not expected, although this is a rather difficult-to-reach lipoma.

Two years ago I removed a wen on my back with grated onion (grate it on a coarse grater), change it once a day, stick it with a band-aid, after 2 weeks a hole appeared and yellowish fat began to flow. It lasted 3 days, I applied onion during this time, although there was slight redness and pain.
Folk remedy for treating warts. I had them everywhere: on my arms and on my neck. The mokushki recommended it to me. The most common little bugs that love dampness. To get rid of a wart, rub the moth on the wart
I had a wen on my face, 1.5 cm in diameter. I turned to a good specialist. I found out that it was Atheroma. The surgeon said: “the atheroma will not disappear, it will only grow, it needs to be removed.” I agreed, they cut it out, everything is fine. The main thing is to find a good specialist!
Oh yes... I tried 4 traditional methods listed above, but they didn’t help me. I conclude that this is a list of nonsense that is being spread on the Internet by people who have absolutely nothing to do with it.
I am writing for the first time. Garlic tincture and aloe leaf helped me cure the wen, the smell is not very pleasant, but the result is obvious. I did it for varicose veins, but it was also useful in the case of atheroma. By the way, aloe also helped me with chalazion, once in my life I encountered this problem. I took an aloe leaf, applied it to my eyelid, and on top of it a carefully boiled egg... and so on for a week.
At first there was relief and the fear that I couldn’t cope passed away, and I became confident that I was on the right path. In general, I read that if you encounter something like this, you first need to take antiparasitic drugs and vitamins, the body is malfunctioning, and it needs help. Love yourself, help yourself. Health to everyone!! The main thing is to believe in yourself, don’t lose heart! Thanks to everyone who writes.
And I have an addition to the recipe “How to remove wen on the face with hair.” I just read an old healthy lifestyle with this recipe. The wool there was taken not fresh, but shorn from a sheep. A woman cut a piece of wool from a sheepskin coat. She soaped it with laundry soap and sprinkled a little salt in the center. After each procedure, the piece of fur was washed and a new compress was made.

Therefore, in this recipe it is not clear what helped get rid of the wen - salt or wool. After all, salt dressings are also widely used in the folk treatment of wen. Now, if she took a new portion of wool every day, and the wool was given to her by familiar sheep farmers, then we can talk about wool treatment, but here salt would most likely help. Although treatment with fresh hair helps remove the wen
I have developed wen on my testicles, what should I do?
I leave reviews extremely rarely, but I would like to write for those who are faced with this problem (wen). As soon as you find it in yourself, immediately run to the doctor and have it removed. Do not risk being treated with traditional methods, as particles from the wen may remain, which may soon fester, or the wen will appear again, or something else. This is advice from personal experience... so it's up to you.
Andrey, wen cannot come out on the testicles. These are papillomas, you need to see a dermologist to have them removed with a laser.
Wen are a problem. What is the most effective way to remove a wen, who can tell?
I have a small wen on my arm, how can I cure or remove it?
The most effective way is a compress from a leaf of golden mustache, or as it is otherwise called, fragrant callisia. The leaf is applied to the site where the lipoma appears and bandaged tightly. It is recommended to wrap the body with plastic wrap on top and leave the compress for at least 10 hours. An alternative to golden mustache is garlic crushed to a pulp, which must be mixed with a few drops of vegetable oil. It is recommended to rub the product into the skin every day at the site where the lump forms.
How to remove a wen from the face of an 8-year-old boy?
Almost four years ago I had a wen (lipoma) removed; it was located almost on my chest. It hurt me, so I decided to have it removed. Now I'm sick again, only a little higher.
Good evening! And between the leg and... the place, can you also treat a wen at home? I'm scared to go into surgery!
I have three wen on my head, what should I do?
Ilona, I was removing a wen between my leg and... a place. I think it was the size of a chicken egg and seemed to ache. It was already uncomfortable to sit. I think such wen cannot be cured at home. When they removed it, a whole council gathered. We looked to see if it had sprouted anywhere. Then what was removed was sent for analysis. The color was yellow, like old chicken fat. And the surgeon had golden hands. Now he is no longer with us, unfortunately...

Wen should be removed only surgically!
There are multiple wen on the face, on the forehead, on the cheeks, along the lips! Now they have also appeared on the cheeks! What is the problem? How to get rid of these nasty lipomas?
Tatyana, a wen also appeared on my testicle. The diagnosis was made by a doctor; he was afraid to cut. I was treated with LEVOMIKOL ointment - it helped. Recently I was very nervous - a wen popped up again
A wen came out right on my right temple. It was within 2-3 cm. At first it hurt, then it stopped. Then I started making a compress with Vishnevsky ointment. After 4 days, the wen became soft and broke through. For 3 days, an incomprehensible liquid pus flowed out.
There was also a wen on my back, approximately between my shoulder blades. And when we went to the sea, apparently the salt water and the sun had done their job, the wen opened up. I just had to squeeze it out. Light fat came out of the pore first, and then yellow fat came from the depths...
A wen appeared on my wrist, I went to the clinic, and they offered to cut it. They said that if you pierce and squeeze out, then a repetition is possible, since the liquid through the internal cavities fills the wen from the inside. But if it doesn’t interfere, then let the lipoma remain.
There was a lump deep under the skin in the neck area, about half a centimeter in diameter. The doctor prescribed Lipomix ointment for lipomas. I used it for about a month, during which time it completely dissolved. There were no traces left, as if he never existed). Of course, it takes a long time to treat with ointment, but in my opinion, it’s better than surgery. It’s still a little scary, even though the operation is small. And there will still be a scar, so this ointment really helped me out
My father had a wen on his face that began to grow quickly. They put me in the hospital, cut it out, now nothing is completely noticeable, not even a scar. And some suffer for years, why? They cut quickly and efficiently. Self-medication of large wen at home is contraindicated! There is no need to try to squeeze out the contents of the lipoma, because as a result, you can introduce an infection into the body and get complications in the form of seals that grow even more on the body.
Hello. I want to tell my story. About three years ago I discovered a pea-sized lump under the skin between my ear and neck. That's how I lived. At one point the pea began to grow and it hurt when pressed. Within a week I was down to the size of a cherry. I applied ichthyol ointment. But there was no point. This place turned red. It's inflamed. I went to the surgeon. He said atheroma in the people is a wen. I did not remove it because it is not in the stage of suppuration. He told me to apply Vishnevsky ointment and monitor my general condition. Either it will dissolve or, on the contrary, it will go to war. I saw the surgeon on Monday and scheduled it for Friday. He said if there were any changes to come earlier. I didn't make it until Friday. On Thursday morning I saw that the wen was already at the breakthrough stage and the temperature rose to 37. I immediately went to the surgeon. He looked and said it was time to open it. It turned out to be very fast and not scary. 15 minutes under local anesthesia. I didn't even need stitches. A small cosmetic cut said. The wen should be removed if it bothers you. Since it is in a capsule. And if he breaks through on his own, the capsule will remain. And maybe everything will happen again. I have another tiny one on my head. The doctor said there is no need to remove it. Because it doesn't bother me. Don't be afraid of anything, go ahead and delete it. The torment will end. Good luck and health to everyone.

I tried a bunch of folk remedies, the result was, but not what I would ideally like to see. But the main thing is that it didn’t get any worse. In line at the clinic, a woman boasted that she got rid of the wen literally within a month. So, on the advice of a complete stranger in line, I purchased Lipomix cream. Of course, I didn’t see an amazing and immediate result, but after a month and a half it actually happened. At the moment I continue to use it and hope for 100% results.
I also suffered with wen. Having tried almost all the methods I found on the Internet, I decided to seek help from doctors. I had to operate, everything went well, but after six months he appeared in another place. Small, but it appeared. The doctor advised Lipomix and said that at the moment there could be a positive result. The result is that the wen disappeared, actually within a month and for about five months it has not appeared anywhere.
Nadezhda, based on your tip, I bought Lipomix. Thank you, it really works!

Dangerous or not
According to oncologists, these tumors should not be removed immediately upon detection, since they do not pose a danger. But at the same time, you need to understand a few points.
Firstly, a wen will never disappear on its own. If it is located on an open area of the body, then it is already causing trouble. You shouldn’t put off removing lipomas with a laser for too long. In no case will they “dissolve”, as doubtful citizens who avoid visiting medical institutions hope.
Secondly, a wen of any location will grow, growth is observed, perhaps not quickly, but steadily. For example, it is definitely recommended to remove a wen on the back with a laser, since as the lipoma grows it can reach a size of 10-15 centimeters in diameter and begin to compress the surrounding tissues and nerve endings. An advanced stage can lead to noticeable pain.
If you remove a small tumor, then only a barely noticeable mark will remain on the skin, but if you remove a large wen, you will have a more impressive scar waiting for you.
Thirdly, if there is a hereditary tendency in the family, delay can lead to unpleasant circumstances - the transformation of a lipoma into a malignant tumor (liposarcoma). Of course, such an outcome is unlikely, but it can happen if the carrier of the wen is careless.
From all of the above it follows that lipoma should not be discounted.
Benefits of laser fat removal
On the eyelid, for example, it is quite difficult to carry out this procedure, but the laser beam is highly accurate, which allows you not only to get rid of hard-to-reach lipomas, but also not to affect the healthy tissue around them. As a result of such measures, the tumor is exfoliated along with the capsule.
Carbon dioxide lasers used in surgery simultaneously perform two tasks - the elimination of pathological tissues, as well as coagulation and disinfection of the skin. This approach allows for faster healing and reduces the risk of side effects and complications.
The tumor itself is not destroyed during the operation (compared to laser removal of moles), making it possible to conduct a histological examination of the tissue sample.
In addition to removing lipomas with a laser, reviews of which are mostly positive, there are 3 more ways to get rid of hated lipomas:
- surgical (this means complete mechanical enucleation of the tumor along with the capsule);
- puncture-aspiration (special syringes are used to pump out the contents of the capsule);
— radio wave (a radio wave knife completely excises a benign tumor).
wen on the face
After six months of unsuccessful treatment, we finally defeated this nasty infection - the mollusk. I will try to tell the story and all my experience. My son was a little over a year old at that time. One day I noticed a bulge on my chest near my nipple. The therapist did not say anything about this, except for some reason to contact an endocrinologist. Nonsense... 5 months passed - the bulge grew and another smaller one appeared. After searching a bunch of forums, I decided that these were wen (this also happens often). But one day a white mass similar to cream appeared from the bulge. I squeezed it out a little. I thought the wen was ripe. But she appeared again and again. But one day several small bubbles appeared around the nipple and they became more and more day by day... Even in the groin!!!! In a panic, I ran to the dermatologist and it turned out that they were MOLLUSKS. And what was previously similar to a wen is a two-story mollusk and it just sits very deep. And when it opened in the bath water, the virus spread across the skin. I think I got it from what I heard from a doctor. There is nowhere else. Now about TREATMENT: 1. The doctor told me that they are usually removed in medical practice. But we already had a lot of them (15) and they were very, very small, so you wouldn’t even notice them all. She advised, based on her experience, to pierce them with a medical needle from an insulin syringe and immediately cauterize them liberally with iodine. But don’t squeeze anything out!! And you can pierce it from the side, as if through it, as if opening the skin. In order for iodine to get under the skin. I did it while the baby was sleeping. It really helps!! After 1 or 2 punctures, the mollusk swells, turns red, and then simply dries out. There are no scars. I did this with mollusks that had more or less grown, but then I got used to very small ones, just sort of picking up the skin with a needle. It is important - after the puncture, treat it spotwise with iodine for 5 days so that it dries out. 2. For small rashes, the doctor prescribed Allomedin gel. I smeared 3 tubes. Efficiency 10%. A couple disappeared and that was it. And expensive. I still squeezed out a drop of blood from the two-story clam on my chest. How he then turned red and swollen!!! I was so scared. smeared with iodine. But then everything died down and not a trace remained. Then I relaxed a little in the summer, hoping for the sun and Komarovsky’s advice not to sweat. But the heat and sweat made everything worse. The mollusk loves a humid environment, alas... Arms, stomach, sides, thighs and even the face... Nightmare! And in a panic, I began to read everything I could on various forums and developed a treatment concept for myself. I share my experience. Because after 2 months of treatment, EVERYTHING IS PASSED. IT HELPS if you do everything EVERY DAY: 1. Be sure to iron everything with steam, because... The mollusk can also be carried on clothing. The towel was replaced with diapers and changed every 2 days. Make a separate one for the face. 2. After taking water procedures, be sure to treat the mollusks and the areas around them (extensively) with a solution of chlorhexedine or furocelin throughout the day (at least 1-2 times). This is important to prevent re-infection after drinking water. 3. Ocyclovir ointment (the most common and cheapest) apply a thin layer to treat areas around the mollusk to prevent infection. 2-3 times a day. I think Allomedine works the same way, but it’s like water...a child washes it instantly and at a high cost. 4. And now attention COLLOMAC is a gel for warts. It's acid. Apply pointwise to the mollusk (so that there is a small mound on top). The next day the clam turns red (it will be red for 5-7 days), just like when pierced, then it dries. During these 5 days, we apply iodine 1/2 times a day. And voila)) There are no scars. Even on the face! If it doesn’t turn red the first time, apply Collomac again. I did it while the baby was sleeping. 5. If Collomak does not work, pierce it as written above. This will definitely help!!! But it’s hard with needles... 6. At the beginning of this treatment I took the risk of giving Viferon suppositories 1 course (2 packs). I don’t know... maybe he contributed. Although I didn’t want to interfere with immunity. Nothing would have happened from Viferon alone. 7. A small part of the mollusks recovered from regular cauterization with iodine. namely on the scrotum. Because I didn’t risk acid and a needle there. 8. Bath not in the bathtub, but in the shower. No standing water. I did all this REGULARLY. I realized that this difficult task requires patience. I suffered for almost a year. I wish everyone patience and good luck. For reference, what was used and what was NOT EFFECTIVE in my experience: 1. Viferon ointment. 2. Oxolin (but not 3%, we don’t have that) 3. I think not bathing a child at all is cruel. You can shower 4. Allomedine is questionable. If only to avoid infection.
Disadvantages of laser
Despite the large number of advantages and positive customer reviews, laser is also not an ideal tool.
Firstly, if the lipoma is quite large in size or is located deep in the tissues, it will be possible to safely and completely get rid of it only through surgical excision.
Secondly, some experts believe, based on their personal experience, that relapses after laser removal of lipomas occur much more often than with the previously used surgical method. Unfortunately, there are no specific statistics that would confirm information about such results, but if you read the reviews and comments of specialists and their clients, you will find that not everything is so smooth.
How is the operation performed?
Laser removal of fatty tumors on the head, face or body can only be performed by an experienced oncologist surgeon or a general plastic surgeon who specializes in working with tumors.
If the size of the lipoma is small, the removal procedure is performed under local anesthesia. In this case, the outer skin is dissected using a surgical laser, which coagulates (“seals”) the damaged blood vessels. After this, the skin is carefully pulled apart, the surgeon uses a clamp to grab the capsule of the wen and slightly lift it.
Then the lipoma is peeled off, during which not only the capsule is destroyed, but also all residual fragments that could cause a relapse. Next, the edges of the wound are sutured with a cosmetic suture and a gauze bandage is applied to the surface.
Surgical procedures take from 15 to 40 minutes, depending on the location and size of the lipomas. Usually, after such a procedure, the patient can calmly return to business in his daily life without any incidents. But, as medical practice shows, there are exceptions in the form of individual complex cases when one or two days of bed rest may be required.
How I removed wen (cysts) under the eyes with a laser surgeon. And the doctor's comment
I’m sharing my story of removing fatty deposits under my eyes, which I had since I was 20 and grew in size over time until it turned into something shapeless. And the doctor’s commentary on how to properly remove fatty deposits and what possible side effects are possible.
At the age of twenty, small white dots began to appear under the eyes, which are usually called wen. My aunt advised me to see a cosmetologist to have them removed, but I didn’t listen to her, I decided it would go away on its own. However, over time, they not only did not go away, but began to increase in size, spreading under the eyes into flat cakes.
I didn’t immediately notice that it looked ugly. Until someone asked me what is that on my face, pointing a finger above my cheek. I looked in the mirror, gasped, and ran to one of the medical centers that performed laser removal.
Several specialists examined my face, trying to understand what was under my eyes and how to remove it. They vaguely explained that it was theoretically worth a try, but they couldn’t promise a good result. One of the doctors, waiting for the other specialists to leave the office, asked: “Are you married?” - I answered yes. “Well, then you don’t need to do anything.” That is, you have already fallen in love with such an ugly thing, what else is there to worry about.
I left the center and really decided not to worry, but to be honest, I was scared to do anything.
After another eight years, I realized that these terrible blots under my eyes were aging me. Deep wrinkles appeared in them, I processed all my photographs in this very place - carefully covering up the formations. At one party, an acquaintance said that laser surgery is now at its height, and it’s easy to remove this under my eyes. “Otherwise they make you look older than your age.”
So I realized that it was time to do something about it. I asked one of my friends who knows the best specialists in the city in various fields. She advised me to contact Ginyuk Edgar. “This is the best laser surgeon in the country, Anya, trust him.”
When I came to my first appointment, I pointed my finger in my face and said that I was tired of looking like this and I wanted to get rid of it. The doctor examined me and asked how many years I had been walking like this. When I told him my story, he was surprised. “ All this could have been avoided if you had come earlier .”
Anesthetic cream applied
In the end, of course, I decided to delete it. Although it is unrealistic to completely polish these formations, it is possible to look 90% better.
Before the procedure, anesthetic cream was applied under my eyes. They put me on the couch, the doctor began to move the laser under my eyes, asking me if I felt anything. I began to feel a slight tingling only at the end of the procedure; at the very beginning, nothing frightened me except the slight crackling sound of the laser.
Ten minutes of sanding and I looked like I'd been punched in the eye. I bought panthenol lotion (on the doctor’s recommendation) and treated it for five days. Honestly, I looked terrible the first two days. She hid her eyes under sunglasses.
In the photo I am already a week and a half after the procedure
After just seven days, the redness disappeared along with the crust. Two months later I came for a second removal. I will note that after the first time I looked better, and most importantly, my wrinkles, which lay in deep furrows on my face, disappeared.
Now, after the second time of laser removal, I am happy with the result. You just need to wait until the redness goes away completely, and this takes time (about 4 months, as Edgar Anatolyevich said).
Looking back, I regret that I did not come to a laser surgeon earlier and for so many years I suffered and felt complex about my appearance.
surgeon of the first category of the medical "Kravir" Edgar Anatolyevich comments
These are so-called epidermal cysts (in common parlance, wen).
Unfortunately, it is difficult to establish the exact cause of their appearance, but there are certain factors that contribute to their formation. The most common ones include:
- hormonal disbalance;
- thyroid diseases;
- poor metabolism;
- use of low-quality cosmetics;
- failure to comply with personal hygiene rules;
- increased cholesterol levels;
- stagnation of bile in the body;
- decreased protective functions;
- development of diseases of the urinary system;
- diabetes;
- overeating, abuse of junk food.
Is there another way to remove them?
It is impossible to remove them at home, and it is dangerous; it is best to contact a specialist. There is no approved therapeutic course, so specialists from a cosmetology clinic can also remove the formation. But cosmetologists can perform this procedure only if the size of the wen is small. Otherwise, the help of a surgeon is required. Basic cosmetic procedures for removing wen:
- resection using a sterile needle;
- grinding;
- laser use;
- deep cleaning.
How laser removal occurs:
If the patient has small formations, they can be removed using a laser. This is an excellent method, the main advantages of which include:
- safety;
- complete removal of skin growth;
- short recovery period;
- minimal risk of repeated relapses;
- the ability to perform surgery without anesthesia;
- high speed and painless operation.
There are practically no side effects.
The rehabilitation period is short and does not require much effort from the patient, it lasts from 7 to 14 days, and it directly depends on the size of the removed tumor and their number. After removal, we recommend applying a special cream to the wound surface and ask you to refrain from visiting the bathhouse, sauna and swimming pool for this period of time.
For those who are faced with such a problem, I can only advise one thing. Everything needs to be done on time; it’s easier to remove a small formation with a laser, rather than wait until it grows and requires surgical treatment in a hospital setting.
You shouldn’t be afraid of this; you can safely remove such formations without any fear.
