Abstract
Pigmented lesions especially over the face are one of the commonest presentations in plastic surgery outpatient department. Surgical excision and primary closure of the defect is main stay of treatment. Surgeon use surgical blade for making the incision and faces significant amount of bleeding after incision as face is highly vascular area. Bleeding obscures the operative field and also makes further procedure difficult. Even though we are traditionally using scalpel for skin incisions, incisions made using electromagnetic radiation of high frequency in the form of laser are considered to be of more cosmetic value, less time taking, less bleeding, less post-operative pain, no ill effects on wound healing. Even though CO2 laser is may also be used for nevus excision but use of diode laser is more applicable as compared to CO2 laser.

Keywords: Nevus; CO2 Laser; Diode laser.
