Why Laser Mole Removal?
Laser mole removal is a quick and effective way to eliminate a mole from the surface of a person’s face without noticeable scarring. Patients do not require sedation during their treatment, and recovery from the procedure is very manageable.
Our practice uses a Syneron fractional CO2 laser, a safe and effective technology employed by doctors in a variety of medical and aesthetic treatments. The targeted beams of energy that the machine emits efface the mole, removing it from the surface of the face.
Laser mole removal provides several advantages over alternatives:
The technique can be very effective in getting rid of moles for cosmetic purposes. It gives Dr. Gocke a high degree of control over where the energy is applied.
Treatment with the laser device is more intensive than with other technologies. This means that patients typically require fewer applications.
Laser mole removal tends to be faster than other approaches since patients don’t usually need multiple sessions. The first treatment should eliminate nearly all visible signs of the mole.
Our staff can explain the technology and its benefits during your consultation. Your safety, comfort, and confidence in your treatment are our highest priorities.
