Some moles are harmless, but some moles can affect the beauty of your face, and can even become malignant! Therefore, many people start the long road of mole removal with different purposes. It is said that laser mole removal is good, but some people are a bit scared when they hear that it is laser treatment, will it be particularly painful? Can we use anesthesia? In short, there are two words, fear of pain! So, what is the specific process of laser mole removal? Read on! First of all, the principle of laser mole spotting is that the laser instrument produces a high intensity beam of light, different types of lasers can produce different colors of light, and the naked eye color of the laser is the key to treatment. Different colors of laser are absorbed by different colors of skin, and the laser energy is used to disintegrate and vaporize the dye particles and close the blood vessels, and then the body absorbs the dye particles to eliminate them from the body, and the pigment then fades away. Patients will experience a slight stinging or burning sensation during this process, but it lasts for a short time, at most ten minutes, so patients with strong pain tolerance can also choose not to use anesthetic. For patients or sites that are more sensitive to pain, lidocaine is usually given for wet anesthesia or local injection anesthesia before treatment, and patients who undergo anesthesia generally do not feel pain during the procedure. Moreover, after each laser pulse, the nursing staff will gently wipe the treatment area carbide with a cotton swab dipped in saline or sterilized injection water to ensure that the doctor can correctly judge the depth, adjust the laser energy, reduce thermal damage to the surrounding tissues, and ensure the treatment effect. If the patient experiences strong pain during the procedure, the carbide can be wiped with a cotton swab moistened with 2% lidocaine and pressed for 1 minute after one laser pulse, and then the next laser can be performed. There will be mild local redness and pain after laser mole treatment, which is a normal inflammatory reaction after laser, and will generally disappear gradually after a few hours. The wound will ooze and scab on the second to third day after surgery, and the scab will fall off on its own after 7 to 10 days. In order to promote postoperative recovery, pay attention to rest, avoid straining and staying up late, avoid spicy and stimulating food and seafood, avoid smoking and alcohol. You can eat more fresh vegetables, fruits, and foods containing iron, zinc and other trace elements such as lean meat, fish, beans, cabbage, radish, etc., and pay attention to drinking more water to promote the repair of the skin. If the new skin is pink and still not flattened after the scab removal, topical Xylitol can be used. After treatment, if the mole is cleared and there is no pigmentation or scar formation at the healing site, the treatment effect is generally good. However, if there is pigmentation at the healing site, scar formation or the removed mole grows back, it indicates that the treatment is not satisfactory and other means of scar removal may be needed, or laser treatment may be required again.
