Ablative lasers are designed to minimize scarring. While some patients may notice slight discoloration or faint marks initially, these often fade over time with proper care.
Ablative laser removal is effective for many types of moles, especially small or superficial ones. However, certain moles may require alternative methods or biopsy if cancerous concerns arise.
Aftercare includes keeping the area clean, applying ointments as recommended, avoiding picking at scabs, and protecting the skin from sun exposure. Follow-up appointments may be scheduled to monitor healing.
