Will laser mole removal leave a scar?

Laser mole removal utilizes high-energy laser to penetrate the skin's surface layer and precisely target the mole cells, achieving the effect of removal. The general reference price for laser mole removal is 1500-4800 yuan per session, with visible improvement typically observed after 1-3 months. If the procedure is properly performed, laser mole removal generally does not leave scars. However, individuals with poor physical conditions may develop scars.

If the mole is small and superficial, located only in the epidermis, the skin damage caused by the laser treatment will be minimal, and the epidermal cells can regenerate and repair quickly. In such cases, when the procedure is properly conducted, scarring generally does not occur. For example, common epidermal moles with a diameter smaller than 2 mm usually heal well after laser mole removal. Individuals without a scar-prone constitution generally do not develop scars after undergoing laser mole removal.

If the mole is large and deep, extending into the dermis, the skin damage caused by laser treatment can be significant, potentially leading to excessive proliferation of tissue, thus increasing the likelihood of scar formation. Additionally, individuals with a scar-prone constitution have a high probability of scarring after undergoing laser mole removal. Improper postoperative care, such as getting the treated area wet, which may cause infection, or prematurely picking at the scab, thereby affecting skin healing, can also increase the risk of scarring.

In daily life, it is recommended to maintain clean and healthy skin, take proper protective measures, and avoid trauma or pressure on the skin. A light diet is also advised, avoiding spicy or irritating foods.
