I have tiny moles all over my face. Can they be removed by laser treatment? How much does it cost?

Regarding those small moles all over your face, the doctor would like to say... The pendant can definitely be removed! The types used in clinics include: "Electrostatic device" and "CO2 Laser Machine" Both methods are very effective in managing moles. The veterinarian will choose the most suitable method based on the location and individual needs. Pricing varies, with options based on the number of moles per treatment or a flat rate.

CO2 laser for removing moles and freckles.

Treatment methods at the clinic.

  1. Electrocauterization
    • Suitable for small to medium-sized moles or freckles.
    • Gently apply heat to the mole to cauterize it off.
    • The advantages are that it's more affordable, and small wounds heal faster.
  2. Co2 lasers
    • Suitable for removing moles that require meticulous detail, or for areas with sensitive skin, such as near the eyes or at the corners of the mouth.
    • Lasers help to destroy moles with precision and minimize scarring after treatment.

Why are moles and freckles both small and large? What is the reason?

  1. Causes of occurrence
    • Small moles (freckles): Often caused by genetics and sun exposure, these are small clusters of pigment cells.
    • Large moles: These are caused by an increase in the number of pigment cells and often accumulate into a larger mass.
  2. The differences in size are due to...
    • A collection of pigment cells in varying numbers.
    • Time required for accumulation (larger moles usually take longer to accumulate)
    • Genetic factors that control cell growth.
  3. Care and risks.
    • Small moles: Usually harmless, but should be protected from sunlight.
    • Large moles: These should be observed regularly for any changes, as they have a higher chance of becoming skin cancer.
