Warts/Moles/Tattoo/Facial Scars Removal Via E.Laser Without Scarring

Laser Treatment for Mole Removal

Laser Mole Removal is a non-invasive procedure that removes moles, warts, and tattoos while avoiding scarring. It is painless and requires only one to three treatments depending on the size and depth of the mole or tattoo. The results are immediate with fast healing. Contact us if you require laser treatment for mole removal and get the best results. 

The procedure can remove:

  • Warts are small, raised skin growths caused by a viral infection. Warts are harmless and painless, although they can be itchy or painful if they develop in a spot that's difficult to reach.

  • Moles are small spots on the skin, usually dark brown, that result from the presence of clusters of pigment-producing cells. Some moles are benign (non-cancerous), but others may develop Melanoma, a skin cancer type. 

  • A tattoo is a body modification by inserting ink or dye beneath the skin.

  • Facial Scars are the results of damage to the skin. They can result from an injury, disease, or cosmetic procedure.

Why is it Done?

  • Laser treatment uses a laser beam to remove warts, moles, facial scars, and tattoos. The laser beam is aimed at the skin to vaporise the target tissue.

  • The laser has many purposes in dermatology. It can remove warts, moles, scars and tattoos by vaporising them without damaging surrounding tissues. Lasers can also remove hair by selectively targeting pigment-containing follicles in the skin or by causing burns that destroy hair follicles. 

  • Lasers also help in cosmetic procedures such as skin resurfacing.

Risks

The risks of laser treatment are minimal, but they do exist.

  • Redness and swelling, typical for about 24 hours after treatment, are common side effects. 

  • Dryness or flaking of the skin.

  • Swelling and irritation.

  • Temporary loss of pigmentation in the treated area.

Doctors can manage these symptoms with medication or adjust the laser settings for future treatments.

Preparation

  • The doctor may apply local anaesthesia before the removal process. 

  • The doctor does a thorough skin examination and determines the proper treatment intensity.

  • The doctor may do a test run on the skin in order to determine compatibility with laser treatment. 

Expectation

Before the Procedure

The patient needs to shave and moisturise the skin to ensure there are no cracks or itching in the skin during the laser treatment.
The patient should avoid applying deodorant or perfume before having this procedure, as they can irritate the skin.

During the Procedure

Laser Treatment removes unwanted skin growths and scars, including moles, tattoos, warts and facial scars.

  • The first step in the procedure is ensuring that the patient's skin is healthy enough for laser treatment. 

  • A Dermatologist or Plastic Surgeon uses an Excimer Laser. It is a non-invasive treatment that causes minimal discomfort and downtime.

  • The doctor uses the intensity and type of laser as per the requirement. The doctor matches the wavelength of laser beams to the wavelength found in tattoo ink pigments and similarly for other treatments.

  • The doctor directs the laser beams to the mole, wart, scar or tattoo as the cells absorb the ray fuming away the unwanted skin appearances, keeping the nearby tissues intact.

  • The laser treatment takes around 30 minutes to work its way through the layer of skin and reach the tissue beneath it. 

After the Procedure

  • The doctor explains the skin care procedure.

  • Avoid sun exposure until complete skin healing to prevent discolouration or scarring. 

  • The area under treatment stays red and swollen for a few days and gradually returns to normal.

Result

  • If any scabs are left behind after healing, they should come off independently within a few weeks following treatment.

  • In some cases, the doctor may prescribe follow-up laser treatments.

  • Patients overcome problems like unwanted scars or appearances on their bodies or even discomfort due to moles and warts.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • How long does it take for moles and warts to disappear completely?

It takes about two weeks for a mole to disappear entirely and about six weeks for a wart to disappear completely. Choose only the best hospital if you require laser surgery for mole removal. 

  • Does laser treatment leave a scar?

Laser treatment does not leave a scar but will leave a red mark on the skin. The redness goes away after a few days of the procedure, leaving with smooth, skin-toned results.

  • When do doctors recommend surgery for mole removal?

Doctors recommend surgery for mole removal if the mole is suspicious of Melanoma. Moles suspicious for Melanoma are usually larger than 6mm in diameter and have an irregular shape or asymmetry.
Other factors that may indicate a need for surgery include:

  • The size of the mole has increased over time.

  • The presence of bleeding or ulceration within the mole.

  • A change in colour or texture of the mole's surface.

  • Can a Tattoo be permanently removed with laser treatment?

Yes, it can. Laser treatment is the most effective way to remove tattoos, and Dermatologists and other medical professionals often use it. The process involves applying a laser to the tattoo, which breaks down the ink's pigment to flush it out of the body.

The tattoo gradually becomes less prominent over time as the body flushes out the ink particles. The process may take longer than other tattoo removal methods, yet it is more effective in most cases.
