How many days does it take for the scab to fall off after laser mole removal

Moles are a type of melanin deposit on the body, which is a relatively normal phenomenon. Generally speaking, they do not have any major impact on the body. However, some moles grow in more visible positions, which affects the image of the person. The solution is to use advanced methods to remove moles. Among them, laser mole removal is one of the more commonly used methods. However, how many days will it take for the scab to fall off after laser mole removal?

The scab will fall off after a week. If it has not fallen off after a week, you can wash your face to help it fall off. The skin may become red after the scab falls off, which is normal and needs one to two weeks to recover.

Several maintenance matters

1. Be patient and wait. After laser mole removal, you must take good care of the sun. Before the wound scabs and falls off, apply antibiotic ointment according to the doctor's instructions to ensure perfect results.

2. Pay attention to the protection of the treated area. Keep the treated area as dry as possible within a week after mole removal. Dry it gently with a clean towel as soon as possible after washing or contact with water. After mole removal, avoid sun exposure to the treated area to avoid sunburn and pigmentation, especially for a period of time after the scab falls off. Pay special attention to sun protection.

3. Pay more attention to preventing local infection, because after laser mole removal, a scab of varying sizes will usually be left. During the first two days after laser mole removal, you should keep the wound from contact with water and try not to wash your face. During the first 23 days, you can cover the wound with a hemostatic patch to avoid contamination, but you should change the hemostatic patch frequently and let the wound breathe in time. Be careful to avoid excessive sweating, and don't try to pick off the scab at once. Wait for it to fall off naturally, otherwise it will easily leave scars.

4. Do not scratch at will to avoid inflammation or infection, which may lead to scars or pigmentation. After the treatment of mole removal, a black scab will generally form on the applied area within 1-2 days, and the scab will fall off automatically in about 1-2 weeks. After the scab falls off, fresh red skin will grow. Sometimes the color will deepen due to excessive sunlight exposure. It will recover in about 3-6 months.
