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 been considered superior to all the other treatments, laser mole removal has its downside as well. The issue with such interventions is that the laser cannot 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 good part about laser mole removal is that it does not involve the use of stitches as it happens with traditional cutting.

Laser mole removal represents the perfect solution for pigmented nevi. Such dark-colored formations are genetically inherited or grow after prolonged exposure to the action of the ultraviolets. Laser mole removal for such cases requires between one and three laser sessions before the nevi are completely gone. Moreover, mention must be made that the success rate is acceptable only on the flat moles, since the raised ones cannot get penetrated deep enough by the light. Laser mole removal is not that uncomfortable: it feels like a tingling or a pinch when the laser pulses.

During the laser mole removal, the light beam seals the blood vessels and removes the tissue through evaporation. 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.

You’ll need quite a lot of money if you want to go for laser mole removal particularly if the motivation is all cosmetic. The health insurance could help you with such interventions for a number of situations: this is the case of malignant moles or other nevi located in very delicate areas that make them prone to accidental injuries. For instance, if you hurt moles when combing hair, shaving or because clothes rub against them, then the necessity for removal is compulsory and the insurance policy should be active. Talk to the insurance agency and with the dermatologist for a professional investigation so as to get insurance coverage.
