It is important that moles (raised or flat) be sent by the doctor for pathological examination, so that risk of cancer is ruled out.

How does Laser mole removal work

This technique of removing moles uses laser to break the dark pigmentation of skin cells on your skin(skin moles). The moles are removed as the body absorbs the fragments (left over from pigmentation after laser treatment). Though some might perceive this procedure to be painful, but it is not as such, this technique is comparatively very less painful.

Some people will require many sittings with their dermatologist for complete treatment. Some times even 4-5 visits to the dermatologists will be required to treat the moles completely.

After you are done with the laser treatment, shortly you will experience formation of a scab on the location where you had your mole. Doctors advice that

you protect it from sun or outside dirt. Your dermatologist may also advice you of some creams or ointment to help make the healing process faster.
