Laser Skin Care Treatments For Moles

Moles are small, brown marks that appear on the skin

, anywhere on the body. They can be singular or in appear in groups and can be flat, raised, or round. They also can appear in different colors such as dark blue, black, or even pink.

Moles are a common occurrence and seem to be predetermined before you are born. But once a person is 20 years old, they should have all their moles. Since the body goes through many changes in the first 20 years of life, such as puberty, hormonal fluctuations may stimulate them to appear.

Moles do fade with time, but it takes about 50 years to do so. Moles tend to be genetic and there is no known cause or prevention method to date. They are rarely cancerous, but are always watched for signs of change. A change in a mole can be the first sign of skin cancer.

The best plastic surgery treatments for removing moles tend to involve lasers. Anesthesia is not needed and the surgery is relatively pain free. Some patients may experience stinging or tingling but it is bearable and not painful. It can sometimes feel like a rubber band being snapped against the skin. The laser seals the blood vessels, then evaporates the tissue. Scarring rarely occurs. After surgery, a scab forms and takes about two weeks to fall off. Slight redness may be present under the scab, but will dissipate on its own.

Skin care treatments for moles typically involve regular examinations. Any change in a moles color or size should be reported to a doctor and an appointment made to have it examined. The change might signify an early sign of skin cancer, which is most treatable when caught in the early stages.

Most people live with their moles and not find them bothersome. In fact, some people are known for their moles, such as Cindy Crawford and Enrique Englasias. Enrique did get his removed, but we loved him with it.

Mole removal is an individual and personal decision. As long as the mole is not troublesome, is not bleeding or crusting, and is not changing in shape or color, you can live a lifetime with it. Sometimes hair will grow out of the mole. That can be upsetting to some people, but is easily treated either by maintaining it with scissors or plucking the hairs. Depending on where the mole is on the body and the color, it can be aesthetically unappealing. For those reasons, laser mole removal is available. In contrast to older methods of mole removal, where a doctor numbed the area and dug out the mole, leaving a scar, laser removal is the easiest and least risky.
