Laser mole removal is a treatment method that uses high-energy laser light to irradiate mole tissue, causing it to break down and gradually be absorbed by the body. For most patients, laser mole removal is a relatively safe and effective option.
However, like any medical procedure, it carries certain risks, and laser mole removal is no exception. Whether or not scarring occurs after laser mole removal depends on several factors, including the size, depth, and location of the mole, as well as post-operative care. Moles located in sensitive areas, such as near the eyes or lips, are more challenging to treat and carry a higher risk of scarring.
To reduce the likelihood of scarring after laser mole removal, it is recommended to choose an experienced, qualified physician for the procedure, and to avoid self-treatment or visiting unlicensed clinics. It is important to strictly follow the doctor's instructions before and after treatment, properly care for the skin, and prevent infection and irritation.
In daily life, maintaining a healthy diet rich in fresh fruits and vegetables helps provide essential vitamins that promote wound healing. Avoid spicy and irritating foods. In addition, applying vitamin E, avoiding sun exposure, and getting adequate sleep can also help prevent scar formation.
