Laser-Assisted Mole Removal

Laser-assisted mole removal is a procedure that uses a laser to remove unwanted moles.

The laser destroys the mole tissue by heating it, causing it to break down and be absorbed by the body. This type of mole removal is usually considered to be a cosmetic procedure, but it can also be used for medical purposes such as to remove moles that are cancerous or precancerous.

Virtually Scarless Treatment Options

Tired of that mole on your face or around your neck but worried about a surgical scar? Now with laser-assisted mole removal, these unwanted moles could be successfully removed with virtually no scar.

A local anesthetic may first be used, and then the Erbium or Ultrapulse CO2 laser miraculously vaporizes the unwanted mole. The treated area is blended into the surrounding skin with the use of laser light. Depending on the appearance of the mole, a sample may be sent out for pathological review. The treated area heals in 7-10 days. No “track marks” are left from stitches, and in most cases, no visual or textural changes are seen.

What Lasers Are Used For Laser Mole Removal?

CO2 lasers are often used to remove moles. The laser energy targets the mole tissue and breaks it down. CO2 lasers can be either Erbium or Ultrapulse. They both work by breaking down the mole tissue with laser energy. CO2 lasers are generally considered to be quite effective at removing moles with minimal pain and downtime.

What Are CO2 Lasers?

CO2 lasers are an essential tool in many industries and applications. Their versatility and power make them one of the most popular types of lasers available today. They are commonly used in the industry for cutting and engraving metals and other materials. They are also used in medicine, for everything from laser surgery to tattoo removal.

How Do CO2 Lasers Work?

CO2 lasers emit light at a wavelength of 10.6 microns. This is infrared light, which is invisible to the human eye. When this light is focused on a tiny spot, it can generate a huge amount of power. This power can be used to cut or engrave materials, or even to vaporize tissue.
CO2 lasers are powered by electricity, and typically use a gas mixture of CO2, nitrogen, and helium. The gas is excited by the electric current, which causes it to emit light. This light is then passed through a series of mirrors and lenses, which focus it into a tiny beam.
