Mole Removal By Laser

Laser technology makes the scientific support for many cosmetic treatments such as mole removal, eye surgery or body hair elimination. Even if in the majority of such interventions, laser therapy has proved its superiority as compared to all the other treatments, laser mole removal has its downside as well. The problem with such interventions is that the laser does not get deep enough into the moles so as to treat the nevi in depth. This is the reason why mole regrowth occurs after such laser mole removal interventions. Nevertheless, the advantage of laser mole removal leaves the skin a lot cleaner afterwards as no stitches are necessary.

Laser mole removal is a good option for pigmented nevi. These are dark-colored spots on the skin, whether black or brown, which are either hereditary or grown because of sun exposure. Laser mole removal for such cases requires between one and three interventions before the nevi are completely gone. Moreover, success rates are higher for flat moles rather than for raised ones because the latter are more difficult to get penetrated by the light fascicle. Laser mole removal is not painful: it feels like a pinch or a tingling when the laser pulses.

For a better understanding of how laser mole removal works, we ought to say that the light acts like a sealant for the blood vessels, and the removed tissue is in fact evaporated. Without real skin cuts, the risk of scarring is a lot lower with this kind of treatment. A scab appears after the intervention on the exact spot of the former mole. It will normally take two weeks before the scab falls, and although the new skin beneath may appear sensitive and irritated, the redness will disappear gradually and no trace will be left behind.

The costs of laser mole removal are pretty high and if performed for cosmetic purposes, the insurance policy will not cover them. There are however situations when the insurance works for such interventions: nevi with a body position prone to injury and malignant formations will be treated at the expense of the insurance most of the time. For instance, if you hurt moles when shaving or combing your hair or because clothes rub against them, then the necessity for removal is compulsory and the insurance policy should be active. Talk to the company you work with and with the dermatologist for a professional investigation so as to get insurance coverage.
