The hazards of laser mole spotting include hyperpigmentation, scarring, recurrence, etc. The effect after laser is generally good, such as minimally invasive and fast recovery.
The main principle of laser mole spotting is that the photothermal effect acts directly on the mole, cutting and vaporizing the tissue around the mole, mole tissue, so as to achieve the effect of removal. Laser mole spotting is suitable for smaller pigmented moles, the effect is generally better, usually can be operated after local skin anesthesia, small incision and fast recovery after laser.
Although laser mole spotting is minimally invasive and quick recovery, it is also an invasive treatment. If the laser mode and energy are not properly selected or cared for, and if bleeding or infection occurs during the healing process, resulting in delayed healing, there is a possibility of remaining pigmentation and scarring; in addition, if the mole cells are not completely removed, they will recur again in the original place.
This treatment needs to be performed by a specialist to minimize the risk of recurrence of incomplete treatment or scarring caused by over-treatment. Moles that are large in diameter, have unclear borders, itchy or painful symptoms need to be surgically treated and pathologically examined to rule out the possibility of malignant melanoma.
Laser mole spotting needs to go to the dermatology department of regular hospitals, and after spotting the mole, you need to do a good job in the daily care of the affected area, such as avoiding exposure to the sun and so on.
