Does laser mole removal leave scars?

In general, laser mole removal does not necessarily leave scars, although there is a certain risk of scarring. Laser mole removal works by using a high-energy laser beam to precisely target the mole cells, destroying them through a thermal effect, causing the mole to gradually fall off. Compared to traditional methods such as surgical excision or chemical corrosion, laser mole removal offers advantages including less trauma, faster recovery, and higher precision.

The size and location of the mole are important factors. Smaller moles located in the epidermis have a lower likelihood of scarring after laser removal. However, if the mole is large or located deep enough to reach the dermis or even subcutaneous tissue, scarring or pigmentation may occur after laser treatment. The skill and experience of the physician performing the procedure are also key factors influencing scarring. A qualified physician can accurately control the laser's energy and depth, minimizing damage to surrounding skin and thereby reducing the risk of scarring.

To minimize the possibility of scarring, it is recommended to choose a reputable medical facility and have the procedure performed by an experienced physician. Postoperative care should strictly follow medical advice. If scarring does occur, treatment and repair can be carried out under the guidance of a qualified physician.
