Treating moles after they have been properly analysed is a simple and quick procedure. The laser energy vapourises the mole resulting immediately in the ablation of tissue. The mole can be removed in ultra-thin layers with practically no effect on the surrounding tissue. The new skin layers that form during healing are smooth and regular. The therapy is simple, fast and accurate. The treatment is generally painless; however an anaesthetic cream or injection can be applied to reduce any discomfort. The skin takes 1-2 weeks to heal, as the Er. YAG Laser causes a superficial wound to the skin. There will also be some slight skin swelling, but this is a temporary condition and will usually resolve in 1-2 days.
Postoperative care is minimal. Your doctor may ask you to
use an anti-bacterial ointment for a short period of time. After the wound healing phase the skin may stay slightly pink, and the
best result will be seen after a few months when this increase in bloodflow has completely resolved.
IMPORTANT NOTICE: A
Mole Scan and diagnosis together with a Doctor’s consultation is required in all cases before starting the Laser Mole Removal Treatment.
Moles are small pigmented marks that can appear anywhere on your skin. Usually brown in colour, they can be found alone or in groups.
It is possible, however, for moles to be dark blue, black, or a pinkish flesh colour, or a mixture of these colours. In addition,
they can be flat, raised, or round.
Moles are common. Everyone has at least a few somewhere on his or her body; in fact, researchers
believe that the moles you will have are determined before you are ever born. During the first 20 years of your life, these moles
begin to appear. Changes in hormone levels from life events such as puberty and pregnancy can cause the appearance of moles to change
by becoming larger or darker.
Sometimes moles are regarded to be fashionable, and even called "beauty marks" when found on women’s cheeks; however, not all moles are beautiful. They can be very unsightly when they protrude from the skin. They may contain dark hairs and they may undergo abnormal changes.
