This is a procedure note for Why We Recommend DuoGEL: No Need to Replace DuoDERM After Mole Removal. at Beomgye(Opening Soon) KKEUT Korean Clinic.
Many people ask how often DuoDERM needs to be replaced after mole removal.
The process of peeling off and re-applying the sticker-type DuoDERM received after the procedure every few days is more cumbersome than expected, and there's also concern that the wound area might be irritated during the application and removal process.

At Kkeut Korean Medicine Clinic, we have eliminated this hassle itself.
General DuoDERM Stickers vs. DuoDERM Gel — What's the Difference?
General DuoDERM stickers are applied to the skin in a film form.
They have a waterproof function, which is beneficial for blocking water during face washing, but their replacement cycle is short, and the mole removal area gets irritated during the application and removal process.
If your skin is sensitive to the adhesive ingredients in the sticker's edge, allergic reactions such as redness, itching, or chafing may occur on the surrounding skin.

The more frequently DuoDERM is replaced after mole removal, the more the treated area is repeatedly irritated, and the healing environment becomes unstable.

Why Kkeut Korean Medicine Clinic Chose DuoDERM Gel
Kkeut Korean Medicine Clinic uses gel-type DuoDERM, not sticker-type.
When applied to the mole removal site, the gel type reacts with skin secretions to form a moist environment that protects the wound surface.
There's no need for a replacement process of peeling and sticking like a sticker, and since there's no adhesive surface on the skin, allergic reactions due to adhesive ingredients do not occur.

This is why you can comfortably manage your skin at Kkeut Korean Medicine Clinic after mole removal without worrying about DuoDERM replacement.

Kkeut Korean Medicine Clinic Is Different Even During the Procedure Phase
Kkeut Korean Medicine Clinic approaches not only post-procedure care but also the procedure process itself differently.
Both Er:YAG and CO2 lasers are used for mole removal, but Kkeut Korean Medicine Clinic primarily uses the Er:YAG laser to minimize downtime.
The CO2 laser is used concurrently for hemostasis, ensuring a clean treatment surface.

Moles on difficult areas such as protruding moles and near the eyes can all be treated, and a safety protocol is in place to immediately refer suspected malignant moles to a higher-level institution.
