More often than not, moles are not a cause for concern. Occasionally, a doctor may recommend you have one removed as a precaution, but other times they are simply an aesthetic issue.
No matter your reason, laser technology has evolved and it is now safer than ever to undergo mole removal.
The procedure involves directing precise bursts of light radiation at the mole to break down its cells. This targeted approach removes only the mole, preserving surrounding tissue.
Treatments are quick, usually taking a half hour or less. No downtime is necessary for recovery, which allows you to resume normal activities immediately.
When performed by a skilled professional, this non-invasive procedure is safe. You may experience redness, swelling, and some tenderness at the treatment site that usually subside on their own within a week or two.
It is possible to see some improvement immediately. Normally, moles scab and fall off naturally within one to two weeks. It is important to follow all aftercare instructions for optimal results.
This is a decision that should be made with a reputable provider.
Laser mole removal is most effective for small, benign moles located near the skin’s surface. It’s particularly beneficial for moles in areas difficult to access such as the face or ears.
This method may not be appropriate for larger, deeply rooted moles or those exhibiting suspicious features suggestive of skin cancer.
