Mole removal is a procedure used to remove moles (also known as nevi) from the skin. Moles are typically harmless, but some may need to be removed for cosmetic reasons or because of potential skin cancer concerns. Mole removal should always be done by a healthcare professional, especially if the mole is suspicious or changing in appearance. Laser Removal: What it is: A laser is used to break down the pigment of the mole. When used: This is most effective for flat moles, especially those that are brown or black. It’s typically used for cosmetic purposes. Cons: Not ideal for moles that may be suspicious or could be cancerous, as it doesn't remove tissue deep enough for proper evaluation.
