Precise removal of all moles, raised moles, and recurring moles!

Dual Laser Treatment Approach

Moles can develop when melanocytes abnormally increase in number in the epidermis or dermis.

Even if it appears to be a simple pigmented lesion, the appropriate treatment method varies depending on its actual location and depth.

Erbium-YAG laser is primarily used for precisely exfoliating shallow surfaces. This laser helps effectively ablate shallow moles in the epidermis while minimizing irritation to the surrounding skin.

It can be particularly useful for facial mole removal, as it reduces the risk of scarring after treatment and allows for aesthetic improvement. Subsequently, finishing the base of the mole with CO2 laser using thermal energy can help destroy any melanocytes that might remain deep, thereby reducing the possibility of the mole reappearing. This is beneficial in preventing recurrence, which can happen if the root remains, even if the mole appears removed on the surface.

A CO2 laser finish can be considered in the following cases:

-If the mole is slightly raised visually or feels palpable on the skin when touched

-If a mole has recurred in the same location before

-If diagnosed as a dermal nevus, or appears to be a deep-seated lesion such as a blue mole or a grayish-brown mole

*Flat warts are viral skin diseases caused by human papillomavirus (HPV) infection. They typically spread widely in the epidermal layer and appear as small, thin, flat, brownish or flesh-colored lesions to the eye. They are prone to appearing when immunity is weakened and can spread to other areas through self-contact, so early management is recommended.

Erbium-YAG laser can be used to uniformly ablate the epidermal layer, making it effective for widely spread flat wart lesions.

It helps to remove them efficiently. It allows for even treatment of the lesion area while minimizing skin irritation. However, viral lesions carry a risk of recurrence if only the surface is treated. In such cases, a finishing step using a CO2 laser to deliver subtle thermal stimulation around the lesion can be a clinically significant approach to further eliminate virus-infected cells that may remain in the epidermis and surrounding areas, thereby reducing the possibility of recurrence.

A finishing process using CO2 laser can be particularly helpful in the following situations:

-If the borders of the lesion are indistinct, or if it feels broad and flat when touched, or for individuals with weakened immunity due to stress, lack of sleep, etc.

-If there has been a history of lesions recurring multiple times in the same area

-If lesions appear on areas prone to frequent contact or easy spread, such as hands or face

*Milia are lesions that appear as small white sacs due to the accumulation of keratin (a type of skin protein) beneath the skin. They primarily occur around the eyes, on the cheeks, and forehead, and unlike sebaceous cysts, they are considered a cosmetic concern unrelated to infection or inflammation.

Erbium-YAG laser can be effectively used to remove milia. It precisely exfoliates the skin surface to refine the thin surface of the milia and creates a pathway for the trapped keratin to be effectively discharged. Lightly finishing with a CO2 laser after treatment can reduce the possibility of remaining keratinocytes proliferating again and help manage the recurrent appearance of milia in the same area. However, excessive thermal stimulation to the skin can cause hyperpigmentation, so careful control of intensity is required.

A finishing treatment using CO2 laser is particularly recommended in the following situations:

-If milia repeatedly recur in the same location

-If there has been a history of lesions reappearing during the recovery process after previous treatment

-When desiring a more uniform improvement in skin surface during recovery after removing multiple milia

*Syringomas are benign skin tumors that develop due to the abnormal proliferation of sweat glands (eccrine glands) in the dermis. They typically appear as multiple small, firm, bead-like lesions, primarily around the eyes, on the cheeks, and forehead. They can have a genetic background and are commonly found in women, particularly those in their 20s and 30s.

Erbium-YAG laser can precisely and delicately remove the epidermal layer, making it suitable for treating syringomas in sensitive areas like around the eyes. It refines the skin surface and removes the upper part of the sweat gland lesions, with a low risk of scarring or hyperpigmentation after treatment, allowing for aesthetic improvement. Subsequently, by applying thermal energy with a CO2 laser

the finishing process, which applies subtle stimulation to the deeper parts of the lesion, contributes to weakening the activity of sweat glands within the dermis,

and can clinically help manage the recurrence of syringomas in the same area. However, as lesions often lie deep within the skin, multiple treatment sessions may be required.

In the following cases, combining with a CO2 laser finish can help improve treatment: -When multiple syringomas are relatively deep-seated, such as under the eyes or on the cheeks -If there has been a history of lesions reappearing despite multiple previous laser treatments -When seeking to reduce the possibility of recurrence with a single treatment

*Skin tags are benign skin lesions caused by the excessive proliferation of fibrous tissue and blood vessels in the dermis. They primarily occur in areas where skin folds, such as the neck, armpits, under the breasts, and eyelids, and are observed as small, skin-colored lumps. While usually painless, they can be irritated by clothing or friction. Generally, CO2 laser can be primarily used to remove skin tags. Its excellent cutting and hemostatic capabilities make it useful for efficiently removing multiple lesions. However, for small and thin skin tags, precisely exfoliating the lesion first with an Erbium-YAG laser, followed by finishing the base of the lesion with a CO2 laser, can help manage the skin tag's root tissue, thereby contributing to reducing the possibility of recurrence in that area. This thermal stimulation can help control fibrous cells and microvessels within the tissue, inhibiting lesion regeneration.

Combining a CO2 laser finish can be beneficial in the following situations: -If skin tags are located in body areas prone to frequent friction, such as the neck or armpits -If there has been a history of skin tags recurring in an area previously treated with excision -If the root part of the lesion is deep or wide (a type where a palpable trace may remain even after treatment)

Thus, tailored to the depth and characteristics of skin lesions,

using two types of lasers together,

this 'dual laser treatment'

is an approach that can help increase treatment satisfaction.

After mole removal, how long should Duoderm (bandages) be kept on?

The process of mole removal is a procedure that delicately exfoliates the skin surface, and during this process, temporary physical changes may occur on the skin.

After the procedure, it is important to protect and manage the treated area well.

In particular, keeping the treated area moisturized can aid skin recovery and positively influence the reduction of scar formation.

For this type of care, we recommend applying DuoDERM, a hydrocolloid dressing.

DuoDERM can help maintain a moist wound environment, which aids cell regeneration and can contribute to lowering the likelihood of scar formation by preventing scabs.

After mole removal, it is common practice to apply DuoDERM immediately and replace it every 3-5 days, continuing care for at least one week.

We typically suggest a total care period of about 10 days.

If using DuoDERM is uncomfortable or causes an allergic reaction, apply a regenerative cream or moisturizing gel frequently to prevent dryness. Additionally, it is advisable to diligently apply sunscreen with SPF 50 or higher and avoid touching the treated area.

Post-mole removal care is an important process that goes beyond merely protecting the treated area; it can also affect the overall outcome of the procedure.

Neglecting care can lead to scar formation, so it's best to continue paying close attention even after the procedure.

We provide detailed guidance on aftercare methods for a quick recovery following the procedure.
