How long does it take to recover after laser mole removal?

The typical recovery period after laser mole removal is 1–3 months, during which strict sun protection is essential. For optimal results, repeat treatments—when required—should be spaced at least three months apart. During this time, avoid foods with dark pigments (e.g., soy sauce) and minimize sun exposure, especially direct sunlight; always apply broad-spectrum sunscreen when outdoors to prevent post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. For the first few days, modify your facial cleansing routine: gently clean around the treated area using cotton pads or small cotton swabs—avoid touching the mole site directly.
