Laser technology has seen massive strides in its evolution, the many types of cosmetic procedures that can now be undertaken using laser technology have increased dramatically. At Perfection Cosmetic mole removal Liverpool, there are many laser therapies for many different aesthetic needs. One of the most popular, as mentioned above, is mole removal.
Laser mole removal Cheshire procedures are undertaken for a variety of reasons. First off, mole removal leaves very minimal scars or damage and is painless to undergo. The results, achieved by using laser technology to break down skin pigment cells, are usually long-lasting and effective. There are some aspects that those wishing to undertake mole removal should consider before the procedure though, and you’ll find out what you can expect, how long till results become visible and how to look after the affected area below.
How Does Laser Mole Removal Work?
Perfection Cosmetic’s Laser mole removal Wigan uses a laser that harnesses the power of specific wavelengths and light radiation to target and break down the skin pigmentation of the mole. Moles are created by melanocytes, cells that form in clusters and usually are spread around the skin. These can cause abnormalities in skin pigmentation when they cluster together and form moles.
It is the melanocyte cells of a mole that are targeted by the lasers, and these break down the pigmentation of the affected area, leaving the mole to die over a number of days and then simply fall off.
Who Is It Suited To?
Whilst most moles are naturally occurring and harmless, some can be the first signs of melanoma, a form of skin cancer. These moles differ in shape and colour to other regular moles and should be examined by a medical practitioner rather than an aesthetic clinic.
Laser mole removal is best suited, then, to moles that are not harmful but may impinge on your looks or style or, if they’re raised, risk causing pain in day-to-day life through getting on zips, exercise or chafing. Aesthetic laser mole removal is purely for your own comfort and confidence.
How Long Does It Take To Remove A Mole?
Most of the time, our mole removal Preston procedures should only take one session to complete. These vary in length of time depending on the mole. In some cases, more stubborn or rooted moles may take more than one session to complete. After this, the mole will fall off after a few days and heal like a graze. The discolouration should fade after between 10 and 14 days.
Pre Treatment Care Tips
Make sure to keep the mole out of the sun for a few days before your treatment. If there is hair on the mole’s area, such as the chin or upper lip, try and shave it before your procedure so that the mole can be focused on to the best degree possible.
Post-Treatment Care Tips
There is no pain, only light pressure when undertaking laser mole removal. This is because a local anaesthetic is applied to the area in focus. Your mole will be bandaged after the treatment so make sure to moisturise the area daily to deter any scarring. You should replace the bandage at least once a day to stop any infections.
