Can I have a mole removed?

Nowadays, more and more people are beginning to realize the importance of appearance. So when there are some scars or moles on the face, you want to remove them. But some friends are worried that removing moles will cause harm to the body. In fact, the technology of many beauty salons is very mature now, and laser mole removal does not pose any serious danger. So if you need it, you can go get some moles.

Laser mole removal uses the huge energy of laser in an instant to act on pigmented tissue, causing the pigment to break up and decompose, be swallowed up by macrophages, and be excreted from the body through lymphatic circulation, thereby achieving the purpose of removing pigment.

When laser mole removal is performed, small popping sounds can be heard and dry fragments of mole tissue protein can be seen when the tissue is vaporized. After each vaporization, the debris on the surface must be wiped off with saline, cotton swabs or gauze to avoid unnecessary thermal damage during repeated scanning. The black color basically disappears after vaporization, and the following signs can be seen with the naked eye: coarse granular skin appendages can be seen on the facial wound, which are white granular and mostly consist of sebaceous glands. Dense connective tissue can be seen on the wounds on the limbs or trunk, and the tissue density gradually decreases from the papillary dermis to the deeper parts. When vaporization continues, the appendages can be seen disappearing in the dermis, the tissue density decreases, and thick fiber bundles can be seen, which look like cotton threads soaked in water. At this point the reticular layer of the dermis has been reached and gasification should stop.

Laser mole removal is effective in treating various pigmentary diseases, such as nevus of Ota, pigmented nevus, improper eyebrow tattooing, eyeliner tattooing, tattoos, age spots, port-wine stains, red eyebrow tattooing, tattoos, varicose veins, vascular diseases, and vascular lesions. The treatment time for laser mole removal varies for different moles, and some require more treatments.
