I have a mole and I don't want to have it completely removed, but I want to make it smaller. Is that possible?

Studies have shown that incomplete laser mole removal (removing the root) has a high recurrence rate. 60-80% within 6-12 months.

Partial reduction of mole size through cauterization. The doctor strongly advises against it. Although it was possible at first, Moles often regrow, often in distorted shapes or with darker colors. It also increases the risk of... Raised scars make skin cancer monitoring more difficult. If the patient is concerned about the size, the doctor recommends consulting a doctor. Remove it all properly. Alternatively, keeping it and observing the changes regularly would be the safest option for your skin health.

Oh, one more thing. Many people want to know the root of the mole because the doctor said during the assessment that the root is deep. After the procedure is finished, the patient will want to see it, but the doctor will say, "There's nothing to see." 🙂 The reason is that the CO2 laser we use for treatment completely evaporates the mole root cells. Those who have had this treatment will smell a slight burning odor during the procedure – that's it, the roots have vanished into thin air. It's not like pulling up a tree root and seeing the roots; we destroy them while they're still in the skin. With precise laser treatment and the doctor's expertise, the mole root is eliminated, preventing recurrence.
