What Is Laser Mole Removal?

Pigmented nevus is the most common benign skin tumor in humans. It is a skin manifestation caused by an increase in melanocytes in the epidermis and dermis. According to the location of mole cells in the skin, they can be divided into junctional moles, mixed moles, and intradermal moles. Flat lesions suggest junctional moles, slightly higher lesions are mostly mixed moles, and papillomatous lesions and almost all hemispherical and pedicled lesions are intradermal moles. Although the existence of moles is not harmful to the body for a short time, it does have a great impact on people who love beauty. In the past, the methods of removing moles include surgical resection, topical depigmenting agents (retinoic acid, corticosteroids, hydroquinone, etc.), physical abrasion techniques, and chemical peels, etc. In addition to the good surgical treatment effect and the process is more complicated, other treatment methods Although there is a certain degree of efficacy, most of them have unsatisfactory prognostic effects and their side effects are quite serious. With the development of laser technology, laser mole removal has become the simplest and most effective new method among many beauty technologies.
