Introduction
Laser mole removal primarily works by applying high-energy laser light to the mole, causing the pigment particles within the mole cells to rupture, thereby eliminating the mole. The general reference price for laser mole removal ranges from 1,500 to 5,000 yuan per session, and noticeable improvement is typically observed after 1 to 3 months. Laser mole removal on the face generally does not leave scars if the individual has good skin condition and proper post-treatment care is performed. However, if the individual has poor skin condition or improper care is given, scarring may occur.

Laser mole removal on the face generally will not leave scars if the individual's constitution is good and proper post-treatment care is performed. However, if the individual's constitution is poor and post-treatment care is inadequate, scarring may occur.

If the mole has a small diameter and is superficial, located only in the epidermal layer, and the individual's constitution is good, the degree of skin damage caused by laser mole removal is relatively minor, and scarring generally does not occur. In such cases, the skin can recover relatively quickly through its natural repair mechanisms. The epidermal cells have strong regenerative capabilities and can rapidly fill in the damaged area, restoring smooth skin.

If the mole has a larger diameter or extends deeply into the dermis, laser mole removal may cause more significant damage to the skin. Even after healing, varying degrees of scarring may remain. Additionally, individuals with poor constitutions or those prone to scarring may also develop scars after undergoing laser mole removal.

In daily life, it is recommended to maintain a light diet, pay attention to skincare, and maintain cleanliness and hygiene to promote overall health.
