Though traditional surgical removal of moles and lesions requires stitching and often leaves scars, advancements in the field allow for removal without freezing, surgery, or scarring. With a CO2 laser, the skin is sealed as the laser targets the tissue, leaving a smooth surface. The procedure is quick, simple, and safe, requiring no downtime for the patient. The technique achieves optimum results on benign moles and skin irregularities such as bumps, skin tags, and warts.
Prior to the procedure, the treated area is numbed with either a topical or local anesthetic, depending on the size of the mole. No bandage is required, and although some pinkness is normal, the area should look smooth and clear after the procedure. Follow-up treatment is typically unnecessary.
