Congenital & Acquired Nevus Removal

This procedure removes congenital and acquired nevi (moles). After accurately diagnosing the type, size, depth, and location of the nevus, we select or combine the most suitable lasers, such as CO2, Nd:YAG, or Pico lasers, for treatment. For deep-rooted nevi, the procedure is performed in several sessions to minimize scarring, and a systematic treatment plan is established considering skin regeneration. The exact cost and treatment plan are determined after an in-person consultation.

Core effects of this treatment — what it solves and what to expect.

Mapping the Depth of the Nevus First
Mapping the Depth of the Nevus First
A nevus sitting shallow in the epidermis can look much like one rooted deep in the dermis. Type, size, depth and location are assessed first to decide which combination of CO2, Nd:YAG and pico lasers to use before starting.
Deeper Roots, Treated in Stages
Deeper Roots, Treated in Stages
Removing a deeply rooted nevus in one go tends to leave a scar. It is reduced gradually over several sessions with recovery time in between, aiming to keep scarring to a minimum.
Staged Treatment to Minimize Scarring

FAQ

FAQ

Common questions patients ask about this treatment.

Targeted pigment treatment without skin irritation

No. Our toning treatment selectively destroys pigment within the skin, not on the surface, so it doesn't cause unnecessary irritation. It's an effective care program where repeated sessions lighten pigmentation and brighten skin tone. However, your skin may feel temporarily dry after the treatment, so please focus on moisturizing.

Consistent management and prevention over a cure

There is currently no treatment that can completely eliminate melasma. This procedure aims to manage and prevent melasma by breaking down the pigment rising from within the skin and suppressing new pigment formation to lighten it. Consistent treatment is the most important thing.

Cautions

Pre & post-care
