Quick answer · What is Mole Removal?
Laser mole removal uses a CO2 laser or radiofrequency device to remove small, benign-looking moles layer by layer under local numbing. The doctor first checks each mole, and anything suspicious is referred for proper examination rather than lasered. The procedure takes about 5–20 minutes depending on the number of moles. Small wounds heal over about 7–10 days under hydrocolloid patches, and deeper moles occasionally need a touch-up.

How it works
Precise removal, then protected healing
The CO2 laser vaporises mole tissue in very thin layers, letting your doctor stop once the pigment is gone and limit damage to surrounding skin. Raised moles can be shaved down with radiofrequency. Keeping the wound moist and covered under hydrocolloid patches helps it heal smoothly.
-
Mole check
Your doctor examines each mole. Any that look irregular or have changed are not lasered and are referred for further assessment.
-
Numbing and removal
After numbing, the laser or radiofrequency device removes the mole layer by layer, usually in seconds to minutes.
-
Patch and heal
A hydrocolloid patch covers each site. Wear patches for about 7–10 days, then protect the new skin from sun.
Before & after
A smoother skin surface once healed
After healing, most treated sites appear as a small pink or flat mark that fades over weeks to months. Deeper moles can leave a slight mark or need a second session.

FAQ
Mole Removal questions we hear every day
Does mole removal hurt?
Numbing cream or a small local anaesthetic injection is used first, so most people feel only slight warmth or pressure.
Will mole removal leave a scar?
Small moles usually heal to a faint mark that fades over time. Deeper or larger moles carry a higher chance of a visible mark, and your doctor will explain this beforehand.
How long does healing take?
Most sites close in about 7 to 10 days under hydrocolloid patches. The new skin may stay pink for several weeks, so sun protection is important.
Can the mole come back?
Some deeper moles can return if pigment cells remain. A touch-up session may be needed after the skin has fully healed.
Can every mole be removed with laser?
No. Moles that look irregular or have changed should be examined, and may need a biopsy, rather than being lasered. Learn more about the device on our CO2 laser page.
How much does mole removal cost in Myeongdong?
Pricing depends on the number and size of moles treated. The same price list applies to every nationality and you receive it in writing before treatment. See our laser price list.
