Moles are an accumulation or proliferation of pigmented cells. Every person develops moles. With increasing age, there are also more moles. And moles can be found all over the body, in fact from head to toe. Not only do the amount of moles vary from person to person, but their colour can also range from light to almost black, and moreover, moles are quite different in shape and size.
During laser treatment, the mole is basically only treated with high-energy light. This bundled light penetrates the upper layer of the mole, depending on the wavelength. This then causes the cells to die. For small moles, often not even an anaesthetic is necessary. Even with larger moles, the area is only locally anaesthetised. This anaesthetic can be applied either with appropriate creams or with a syringe.
After the treatment, a scab forms on the treated area, which should be protected with a plaster for one to two days. But even this can be dispensed with in the case of a small birthmark. However, it is absolutely necessary to protect the area from sunlight with a protective cream with a high sun protection factor, as the skin at the site is very sensitive to light for four to six weeks. For larger moles, it may be necessary to repeat the treatment.
Not every mole should be removed with a laser. Dermatologists recommend that it is essential to clarify beforehand that the mole is harmless or not a high-risk liver spot.
