Mole removal with a cold laser

Despite the low risk of injury, the procedure is performed under local anesthesia. The patient typically feels only the injection. After the procedure, pain medication is usually not required.

This procedure does not require any special preparation. If you are taking omega-3 supplements or other medications that may reduce blood clotting, please stop taking them three days before the procedure to minimize the risk of bruising. Please also note that you can take a shower 24 hours after the procedure.

Mole removal takes 20 minutes.

In a 20-minute appointment, a doctor typically removes 1–3 moles. Based on the doctor’s assessment, more than three moles may be removed during the same visit. Papillomas and angiomas are removed by zones, during one appointment, 1–3 such zones can be treated.

A 20-minute doctor’s appointment, which is sufficient for removing one to three moles, costs €198. Removal of a fourth mole and any additional moles during the same visit costs €50 per mole. If a large number of small moles are removed from one area (as is common with papillomas and angiomas), removal of 1–3 zones costs €198. If the doctor determines that more than three zones or more than three individual moles can be removed during the same appointment, each additional mole or zone after the third costs €50. The prices do not include the outpatient clinic fee (poliklinikkamaksu).

Healing is similar to that of a superficial scratch. Within 7–10 days, a pinkish spot may remain at the site of the mole, as the skin goes through several stages of regeneration before returning to its normal color. The complete process of restoring the skin’s natural color typically takes 3 to 6 months.

Sometimes, after full recovery and healing, lighter spots may remain on the skin (more often on the body, very rarely on the face). If the pigment has penetrated deep into the skin around and under the mole, then after its removal, a small depression may remain on the skin.

If you do not have any conditions that impair local immunity and are not taking medications that affect wound healing, post-procedure skin care is usually simple. During the first 24 hours, keep the antibacterial cream applied by the doctor under the bandage. After this period, a plaster is generally no longer needed, except when the mole was removed from an area exposed to friction from clothing. In such cases, it is recommended to reapply a bandage after showering to protect the area and prevent the scab from being disturbed. In all cases, the treated area should be gently cared for using Bepanthen anti-inflammatory cream for 3–5 days. Special attention should be given to sun protection for the first 1.5–2 months, including during winter. Use a high-protection sunscreen, as sun exposure may damage the healing skin and cause pigmentation changes. If you have a condition that weakens immunity, your doctor may prescribe additional medication to reduce the risk of infection.

As soon as the skin surface becomes completely dry, usually two to three days after the procedure.

No. Mole removal itself does not cause malignancy. Changes in a mole are more commonly associated with repeated irritation or injury, such as constant friction from clothing or repeated trauma during activities like shaving.

Moles are removed for medical and aesthetic reasons. Some moles may become malignant, particularly those located in areas exposed to constant friction or repeated injury. Special attention should be paid to moles that appear suspicious, for example, those with irregular borders or uneven pigmentation, or moles that change in size, itch, cause pain, or bleed. Such moles should be examined by a doctor without delay.

We serve clients of all ages. Moles removal for children can be performed exclusively for medical reasons. Elderly people are strongly advised to carefully follow the doctor's instructions for skin care after the procedure.

We remove moles regardless of their location, on the face (including the eyelids, nose, and nostrils), neck, torso, limbs, and intimate areas.

Doctors usually remove moles with a scalpel, laser, liquid nitrogen, and the radiofrequency method, also called the "cold laser."

The Radiofrequency ablation method (also called "cold laser") is the least traumatic and ensures rapid healing with excellent aesthetic results. It almost never leaves marks or scars.In addition, unlike conventional laser treatment, it allows tissue from protruding moles to be collected for biopsy.

The only contraindication to this method is the patient's use of a cardiac pacemaker.

All mole removal methods without exception have the same side effects and risks. For example, the appearance of a bruise when a local anesthesia is injected, sometimes a hypertrophic (hyperplastic) scar or keloid scar can develop. It has been proven that with the "cold laser" method these risks are minimal. The "cold laser" traumatizes the surrounding tissues less than other methods.

"Since the invention of this method in 1983, it has been approved by international associations of surgeons and dermatologists. Today, the method is used worldwide - in Europe, Asia, America, Australia and New Zealand.
