How many times do I need to have a mole removed to prevent it from growing back?

Types of moles Intradermal Nevus Moles (where cells are clustered in the dermis) tend to require more than one treatment compared to... Junctional Nevus (Moles located at the junction of skin layers) due to the location of the cells being deeper.

Moles are like trees… their roots are what matter.

The doctor wants the patient to imagine that... Moles are like "trees" or "icebergs." You see, what we perceive on the surface is just the tip or the trunk, but in reality... Moles have roots that penetrate deep into the skin layers. Yes, that's right.

• Shallow moles/freckles: Most of them don't have deep roots, so just... 1 times It usually disappears completely, leaving the skin smooth and clear.
• Raised moles/large moles: These moles often have deep roots. The first cauterization will remove them flush with the skin, but if a root remains, the body may repair itself by pushing the mole cells back to the surface, causing it to reappear as a small dark spot.

Why didn't the doctor remove the entire root at once?

That's a very good question. The reason doctors don't use a laser to dig deep enough to remove the entire root in one go is because... "The doctor was afraid the patient's face would be left with pitted scars." That's right.

Deep tissue ablation, or laser treatment that goes too deep to target the mole's root, can destroy new skin tissue, leading to... Permanent acne scars (Atrophic Scars) Which is much more difficult to treat than moles, therefore... Gradual removal (if necessary) is safer than digging all the way deep at once. Yes

In total, how many times do we need to do it?

Based on the statistics from the cases I've treated...

• Approximately 80-90% of patients: Just a little robbery One time only Yes, the mole is gone and my skin is beautiful.
• Another 10-20%: Those with deep-rooted moles or moles in areas that are frequently moved may need to return for further examination. Double-check the details 1-2 more times. Wait about 1 month to allow the skin to fully regenerate tissue. If you still see dark spots at the wound site after cauterization, don't be surprised. It's not a burn or anything abnormal. It's the mole's root that might be visible, but wait for it to fully emerge. Next time, we will remove it completely.
