Introduction
Laser mole removal generally uses laser beams of specific wavelengths to precisely target the mole area, achieving the effect of removal. The general reference price for laser mole removal is 2000-5000 yuan per session, and visible improvement can usually be seen after 1-2 months. If proper post-treatment care is performed and the individual does not have a scar-prone constitution, laser mole removal typically does not leave scars. However, improper care may result in scarring.

  Laser mole removal generally uses laser beams of specific wavelengths to precisely target the mole area, achieving the effect of removal. The general reference price for laser mole removal is 2000-5000 yuan per session, and visible improvement can usually be seen after 1-2 months. If proper post-treatment care is provided and the individual does not have a scar-prone constitution, laser mole removal typically does not leave scars. However, improper care or having a scar-prone constitution may result in scarring.

  Lasers have precise pulse durations, allowing their effects to be confined specifically to the mole cells, with minimal impact on surrounding healthy tissue, thereby achieving selective destruction with generally minimal risk of scarring. Therefore, as long as the procedure and post-treatment care are properly managed and the individual does not have a scar-prone constitution, scarring after laser mole removal is uncommon.

  However, if the mole is large in area or the laser treatment causes deeper skin damage, improper post-operative care and compromised skin condition may lead to scarring. Additionally, individuals with a scar-prone constitution have an increased risk of scarring.

  In daily life, it is recommended to decide whether to undergo laser mole removal according to individual circumstances and under a physician's guidance. Maintaining skin cleanliness during the recovery period is also beneficial for healing.
