Frequently Asked Questions

Typically, laser mole removal can be achieved in a single treatment. The mole is immediately flattened and will subsequently heal.
The goal of laser mole removal is to minimize or completely remove unwanted moles. Expectations and outcomes will be carefully reviewed once the spot is properly diagnosed.
For the first 3-7 days following treatment, mild irritation, redness, and swelling can be expected as the treated lesion heals. The underlying skin will be slightly sensitive to sun and should be thoroughly protected afterwards. Moles on the face typically take 1-2 weeks to heal; moles on the body or limbs normally take 2-4 weeks to heal. After the initial healing, a gradual remodelling takes a few months.
We recommend protecting the underlying skin by applying an antioxidant serum in combination with a broad spectrum sunscreen every day. Additionally, avoiding the sun at peak times and wearing protective clothing is helpful.
