Mole Removal with LASER: Safe, Precise, and Effective

At IQ SKIN CLINICS, we specialize in cutting-edge dermatological treatments, including the safe and precise removal of moles using advanced LASER technology. Our team of expert dermatologists is committed to delivering outstanding results, ensuring both the effectiveness and safety of every procedure.

Moles, commonly known as nevi, are prevalent skin growths that appear on almost everyone. While most moles are benign and do not require removal, some may need to be eliminated for aesthetic reasons or because they are prone to irritation from clothing, accessories, or other external factors. Thanks to advancements in medical technology, LASER has emerged as one of the most efficient methods for mole removal. However, not all moles are suitable for LASER treatment.

Which moles can be removed with LASER?

At IQ SKIN CLINICS, we assess each mole’s suitability for LASER removal based on factors such as location, depth, and nature. Moles can be located at different skin layers, from the epidermis to the dermis, which influences the treatment approach. Superficial benign moles, particularly smaller ones in the epidermis, are ideal candidates for LASER treatment. For example, papillomatous and verrucous epidermal moles are treated with Erbium or CO₂ LASER, while Ota Nevus is treated with PICO LASER. Deeper or more complex moles, or those with suspicious features (such as asymmetry, irregular borders, or uneven color), should not be treated with LASER and require histological examination. Our experienced dermatologists evaluate each case, taking into account your medical history and the mole’s characteristics.

Benefits of LASER mole removal at IQ SKIN CLINICS

LASER mole removal at IQ SKIN CLINICS is a safe and effective procedure performed by skilled specialists. Key advantages include:

Precision: Our advanced LASER technology targets the tissue with high accuracy, leaving surrounding healthy skin untouched. This promotes faster healing and excellent aesthetic results, making it ideal for sensitive or visible areas like the face and neck.

Minimally Invasive: The procedure is bloodless, as the LASER seals blood vessels during treatment, reducing bleeding and eliminating the need for stitches.

Painless: With local anesthesia, the procedure is virtually painless, and most patients experience only mild warmth or tingling sensations.

Pre- and post-procedure care

At IQ SKIN CLINICS, we prioritize patient care throughout every step of the process to ensure optimal results from LASER mole removal. Proper care is essential both before and after the procedure:

Before the procedure: A digital dermatoscopy is conducted to evaluate the mole’s clinical characteristics, such as color, borders, symmetry, and size changes. This assessment helps determine the most suitable removal method.

After the procedure: Post-treatment care focuses on promoting healing including recommendations such as:

  • Avoiding sun exposure for a few days to prevent hyperpigmentation or hypopigmentation.
  • Using sunscreen with a high SPF (50+) to protect the treated area.
  • Keeping the area clean and moisturized while avoiding friction or irritation to prevent infections.

Follow-up appointments with our dermatologists are crucial to monitor the treated area and ensure no signs of mole recurrence.
