A mole, or naevus, is a normal skin growth that develops when pigment-producing cells (melanocytes) grow in groups. Moles can appear in a range of different colours, shapes and sizes. Moles are growths on the skin that are usually brown or black. Moles can appear anywhere on the skin, alone or in groups.
Most people have 10 to 45 moles that appear during childhood and the teenage years. How these moles look may change over time. They also may fade over time.
Moles occur when cells in the skin grow in a cluster instead of being spread throughout the skin. These cells are called melanocytes, and they make the pigment that gives skin its natural colour. Moles may darken after exposure to the sun, during the teen years, and during pregnancy.
Laser mole removal is a safe and effective treatment for cosmetic removal of harmless pigmented moles. There’s a low risk of scarring or complications. If you prepare properly and look after the treated area carefully, you’ll achieve the best possible result.
Typically, completely removing the mole will take several sessions. Laser removal of a mole usually involves repeated treatments a few weeks apart over several months.
It’s important to ensure that the spot you wish to have removed is a harmless mole or other lesion, not a skin cancer. If it resembles skin cancer, or if you’re at high risk of skin cancer, laser treatment may not be suitable. We’ll discuss alternative methods of mole removal.
No pain too much during the procedure, No scarring after fully healed.
Downtime is generally minimal. Most individuals experience mild redness or superficial crusting that typically resolves within 5–10 days, depending on the depth treated. Proper wound care and strict sun protection are essential to support optimal healing and reduce the risk of pigmentation changes.
It will depend on how many moles, how big and how dark…etc generally between $150 and over $1000.
Individual responses to treatment vary. Moles often have a deeper root and may grow back over time. A touch up may be required over time, generally after 6 months.
Before proceeding with laser mole removal, it’s important to assess whether the lesion is suitable for cosmetic laser treatment. If there are any concerns about the spot (appearance, rapid changes, bleeding, irregular borders, or other warning signs), we may recommend medical assessment or alternative removal methods.
Healite II is a useful addition to virtually all aesthetic treatments. It is the most popular piece of equipment in the entire surgery as it can be used pre and post all our non-surgical treatments for enhanced recovery.
