Moles are really a magical existence in life, if they look good, they are “beauty moles”; but if they don’t look good, they are “little flaws” that affect the face. The demand that our external image must be as perfect as possible has never changed, so how to eliminate these “little flaws” on the face has become a discipline that needs constant study. What’s more, many students who have just finished their college entrance exams even consider mole removal as another “must-do” in addition to perming their hair. There are many clinical methods to get rid of moles, including drug removal, chemical corrosion, surgical excision, and freezing method. However, with the development of laser technology, laser mole spotting has now become the simplest and most effective new means among many cosmetic techniques. Using modern laser cosmetic technology, you can remove moles while maximizing their cosmetic effects. However, any clinical operation has conditions, the most basic one is to meet the indications of the operation, so we must first check whether our moles and laser are “compatible” before mole spotting. First of all, because there are more types of laser treatment, there are more kinds of moles that can be treated, such as common nevus of Ota, pigmented nevus, black nevus, zygomatic nevus, bright red nevus and so on. In addition, laser treatment can also be effective for capillary hemangioma, erythema, spider nevus and many other diseases. Small pigmented nevus on the shoulder Next, the specific indications are: smaller pigmented nevus, nevus in non-weight bearing or friction areas. For example, laser mole removal is generally not recommended for moles on the soles of the feet, toes, palms, nail beds, neck, and perineum. The reason why laser treatment is not recommended for moles in these areas is that they are clinically known as junctional nevi, and a small number of nevus cells in junctional nevi have the characteristic of active proliferation and have the possibility of malignantly turning into melanoma when stimulated by external sources, so it is more recommended to remove them completely through surgery or other means. In addition, moles with a diameter greater than 1 cm and deep pigment cells are more suitable for complete surgical removal. There are two reasons for this, one is because moles with larger diameters are slow to heal after laser treatment and may easily leave scars. Secondly, if the pigment cells are deeper, there may still be residual ones after laser mole removal, and since it is impossible to judge 100% clearly with the naked eye, there is a possibility of recurrence, and if the pigment cells are only partially eliminated, the physical trauma stimulation produced by mole removal may instead damage the residual pigment cells and make them appear malignant when repairing themselves. Therefore, in general, there are no people who are absolutely suitable for laser mole spotting, but only moles that are relatively suitable for laser treatment. After knowing which moles are suitable for laser treatment, what do we need to pay attention to before and after laser treatment? Before treatment: Sign the informed consent and clean the skin well, then wait for the professional to apply 5% compound lidocaine cream to the treatment area with a plastic film seal for 1h. After treatment: (1) Follow the doctor’s advice not to get water on the mole removal site, and follow the doctor’s advice on time for one week; (2) There can be mild redness and swelling and light brown scabs after mole removal, so pay attention to the protection and cleanliness of the wound; (3) Depending on your own situation, you may need different times of follow-up. (5) Do not expose the laser treated area to sunlight to reduce or avoid the occurrence of pigmentation; (6) Do not eat too much spicy and stimulating food within 1 week after treatment, regardless of the method of mole removal; (7) Do not eat too much spicy and stimulating food within 1 week after treatment. (7) Daily skin care products can only be used normally after 1 week after surgery, and for efficacious products, they should be used under the guidance of doctors. Although the technology of laser mole spotting is mature enough and safe enough, it is still necessary to be wary of unprofessional institutions. Therefore, it is recommended that all beauty seekers must be cautious before getting rid of moles, choose regular medical institutions, fully communicate with doctors before surgery, and if doctors do not recommend getting rid of them, it is not advisable to do so blindly. Beauty is no more important than a healthy body, so I hope no one will make a decision that they will regret. References [1] Fang Hongyuan, Xing Weibin, Zhang Bingxin, Xu Haihuan.
