Is laser mole removal good? How many times can laser mole removal be done to remove it completely?

Laser mole removal is a very common method of mole removal. The effect of laser mole removal is very good. Laser mole removal can be done at any time regardless of the surgical season. Just do post-operative care. Generally, large and dark moles require multiple operations to remove.

If you have moles on your face, especially black moles, you should remove them in time. Laser mole removal uses a laser to irradiate with a corresponding high-energy beam. Different types of lasers produce light of different colors to illuminate, so that different laser colors are absorbed by skin of different colors. The corresponding energy of the laser will crush and vaporize some pigment cells deep under the skin, and then seal the blood vessels while being discharged from the body with the human lymph, effectively eliminating the mole. It is very effective for small moles. However, if it is a relatively large and deep mole, it needs to be removed through a minor operation to avoid recurrence.

The success rate of laser mole removal depends on the size of the mole, including the size of the base, to determine whether it is completely removed. Small moles are usually treated once, and larger ones are treated 2 to 3 times. It also depends on the doctor's technique. Generally, the success rate of one treatment is 70 to 80 percent. As long as there are some black spots left, they will grow. If the laser fails, it is recommended that you can have a surgical excision treatment, which will be more effective. Because the base of some moles is very large, it is difficult to treat. After each laser mole removal, the skin must have a natural absorption and metabolism process. Depending on the individual's situation, the treatment interval is generally 2-3 months.

Is it better to remove moles in winter or summer?

It is best not to choose the time for mole removal in summer, because it is hot in summer and easy to sweat, and the wound is easy to get infected. It is best to choose when the weather is cool, such as the appropriate weather in spring, autumn and winter. Of course, it is not only the weather that needs attention. When patients undergo laser mole removal, they should avoid menstruation. Pregnant women can choose to undergo laser mole removal treatment after giving birth.

How long does it take to recover from mole removal in winter?

It takes about 1 week to 2 weeks.

After removing a mole, a small mole usually scars in 3 days, while a large mole takes 5-7 days to scar. It is okay to sunbathe after scarring, but don't expose it to the sun to hurt your skin. Don't use Band-Aids. You can go to the cosmetology department of the hospital to get some anti-inflammatory drugs or go to the pharmacy to buy erythromycin eye ointment and use it before the mole scabs. When washing your face, don't get it wet before the scab forms. It's best to wring out the towel and gently wipe the area where the mole is not removed. After the scab forms, be sure to remove the scab to avoid scarring. Eat more fruits and vegetables containing vitamin C or vitamin E, and don't eat irritating foods like cigarettes, alcohol, and spicy foods. If the mole is shallow, it will not leave scars. It is recommended to take a rest after the operation, avoid sun exposure, eat less soy sauce, and don't clean the wound within 1 week after the operation.
