Laser removal of rubies (ND:Yag)
Rubies are skin lesions that are disturbing, spoil your mood and are unsightly. They arise as a result of trauma, hormonal changes, genetic predisposition and environmental influences. Removal of rubies by laser is one of the most effective methods.
The laser is extremely precise compared to a scalpel. We can operate it to tenths of a millimetre. We can remove lesions in places that are inaccessible to the scalpel, for example on the eyelid or the edge of the eyelid near the eye. The laser beam is directed at the skin lesion in question and is absorbed by extracellular and intracellular water. A slight warmth and burning sensation is felt during the treatment. This method leaves no scarring and is safe for people of all ages, including children. With laser treatments, there is less risk of scarring.
The laser ruby removal procedure is aseptic, so the tissue heals easily. Lasers are used to remove lesions that are safe, benign, i.e. they do not carry the risk of being cancerous lesions that need to be examined under a microscope.
- pregnancy
- active bacterial or viral infection within the treated lesion

Before:
- do not expose the treatment area to UV radiation at least 4 weeks before treatment
- do not use strong chemical peels or fine or coarse peels 1 week before treatment
After:
- scabs gradually appear in the treatment area, which should not be scraped off
- scabs can be moisturised and lubricated to speed up regeneration
- it is recommended to use sunscreens (min. SPF 30) and to avoid direct exposure to UV rays until complete regeneration
