Moles Moles are a common growth on the skin, developing form time to time usually until about age 40. They occur when skin cells grow in a cluster instead of being spread throughout the skin. The high concentration of melanin is responsible for their dark colour.
There are two types of mole: Congenital nevi, the moles that appear at birth; and Dysplastic nevi, the moles that are larger than average and irregular in shape. Most moles are not cancerous, but if you notice changes in a mole’s colour, height, size or shape – or if they bleed, ooze, itch, are scaly or tender - you should consult your dermatologist.

Where can the lasers be used?
Because they are gentle, they can be used on any part of the body including the face or genitalia.
Do lasers cause scarring or pain during the removal of a mole?
No scarring and minimal discomfort.Any swelling typically subsides within a day, and most redness dissipates within a few days.
