Moles on the face, especially the large ones on the wrong part of the face, namely on the nose, eyelids, around the mouth, lips, upper neck and chest, they can be unattractive. Those around the shaving area, can often be cut and cause bleeding; rarely, it can be suspicious of being malignant. Surgical excision can result in a scar, a ‘white line’, indentation or distortion of skin.

A mole can now be made flat, reduced in size and laser can remove the colour; the end result is no mark.

If there is suspicion of malignancy, the mole should be biopsied and undergone histopathology examination.

Benefits:

The treatment may take a few sessions. Most patients are very appreciative of good results, without a scar. So far no one seems to worry about the serial treatments as long as the results are good.
