A mole comes in a variety of shapes and colors. Most of them occur early in life, usually around 20 year of age, and they might be a consequence to direct sun exposure.
Those that have a brown or black color are called flat moles and they are most of the times the perfect candidates for being removed with laser.
Laser is very effective for flat moles removal, and usually it can take up to 3 sessions before the procedure is completed with success. Laser is very different from the rest of the surgical processes, as there is no cutting involved. The laser’s beam of light seals off the blood vessels and so no blood will appear during the procedure.
Depending on the flat mole size, the removal treatment does not last very long, usually ending in just a few minutes. The sensation that can be felt varies from a minor pulse to a snap, and it is much similar like the one that comes when you snap a rubber band on the skin. Depending on the location, it can be barely noticeable or at most slightly uncomfortable, but it is under no circumstances painful.
The laser treated область should not be exposed to sun at all for a short period of time after the removal procedure, until it fully heals. The область will have a red colour and will eventually form a scab. The scab might last up to a few weeks. It is recommended that you do not scratch the skin at all during those weeks.
