Laser
mole removal involves a laser beam that penetrates into the
pigment of the mole being treated. This causes the cells
or tissue to heat up, causing the mole to break apart allowing
the body to re absorb it during the healing process. With
Laser mole removal there is no need for stitches due to the fact
that the laser seals your blood vessels.There are
many types of procedures to remove moles but when it
comes to using a laser there are good types of moles to use this
procedure with as well as bad ones. The good types are very simple
to identify... They include new moles, flat moles, and even
small ones. For the bad candidates these would be protruding
moles, which would be too much for the laser to penetrate the
tissue. Older moles are not a good idea to remove with laser
and large ones. This makes laser surgery a less then perfect
option as most people would want to remove their larger more noticeable
moles. One last thing is to make sure all your moles have
been examined by a qualified dermatologist.
During the
procedure the skin will be numbed followed by the laser treatment.
Using a low setting the laser is absorbed into the skin removing
the brown pigmentation. As for pain, some report a mild
stinging sensation when the laser pulses. Others have said it
feels like a rubber band snapping on their skin. The mole
being treated determines how long the procedure will last and
how many times you will have to come in for treatment. This
itself is usually another issue with laser mole removal as it
can get very costly.
After your
laser treatments you should expect the mole to appear darker or
even red. When the mole turns into a scab your
body has taken over the healing and it should come off in about
2 weeks. The skin underneath will be very sensitive and
you should take precautions to protect it. Apply sunscreen
to the area daily for a few weeks. But if you could avoid sun
to the area all together this would be best.
As for the
risks of using a laser this is a noninvasive method that usually
is done without anesthesia. If needed it will require
local numbing but in some case general anesthesia , and with local
anesthesia there are risks involved. For other risks, infection
can be a problem, but is less likely then with normal surgery.
Be sure your dermatologist is using gloves and sterilized equipment.
Some other
problems you may run into is the mole may not be entirely removed.
Needing more treatments and running the risk or the mole
not being able to be permanently removed. For scarring it
is less likely then surgery but you may have discoloration of
the skin. Just think when a normal scab heals and it comes
off early. You are left with a pinkish skin that darkens
in time.
You can expect
at least going for 3 sessions per mole. You may
see changes in the first session but not enough for the mole to
be completely gone. treatments as low as $50 per session
are rare and some are as high as $400. The down side of
this is laser treatments for moles are considered a cosmetic procedure
so your insurance will not cover it. However, you may find
some financing options for this procedure.
