There's a common question that often arises when considering body mole removal.

'Can raised moles on the body also be removed?'

To put it simply, yes. However, raised moles require a different approach than flat moles.

Why Raised Moles are Tricky

Raised moles are structures that protrude above the skin surface.

Unlike flat moles, they have a certain height in the cell layers and a relatively rich supply of blood vessels internally.

This is why bleeding can easily occur when applying laser treatment.

Body areas have thicker skin and slower healing compared to the face.

This is why performing the procedure with the same intensity increases the likelihood of scarring.

Kkeut Oriental Medicine Clinic's Unique Er:YAG + CO2 Dual Combination

At Kkeut Oriental Medicine Clinic, we utilize both expensive Er:YAG and CO2 lasers.

The roles of the two devices are clearly divided.

The Er:YAG precisely vaporizes tissue layer by layer.

It allows for delicate control over the treatment depth, making it suitable for step-by-step removal tailored to the height of the raised mole.

It minimizes thermal damage to surrounding tissues, making it a key device for reducing scar risk during body mole removal.

The CO2 laser is used in conjunction for hemostasis (stopping bleeding).

It immediately stops the minor bleeding that occurs during raised mole removal.

If bleeding remains, the treated surface becomes cloudy, making precise treatment difficult.

This dual operation, where the CO2 laser ensures a clean treatment surface for the Er:YAG to complete the removal, is only possible at Kkeut Oriental Medicine Clinic.

Scar Minimization Rules by Body Area

Body mole removal requires a different approach for each area.

Areas with a lot of movement, such as the neck and shoulders, experience continuous tension during wound healing.

Excessive removal in such areas can lead to scars spreading or the formation of keloids.

For the back and torso areas, which have thicker skin, energy settings must be conservative.

At Kkeut Oriental Medicine Clinic, we first identify the characteristics of the area before body mole removal and set the appropriate laser parameters accordingly.

When Staged Treatment is Necessary

When a raised mole is large or has deep roots, attempting to remove it all at once can actually increase the risk of scarring.

Kkeut Oriental Medicine Clinic strongly recommends a staged approach, where the mole's height is reduced in the first treatment, and the removal is completed in a second treatment after the skin has recovered.

While we understand the desire to finish in one go, being too ambitious with body areas can lead to scarring.

Kkeut Oriental Medicine Clinic adheres to the principle that a safe outcome is a good outcome.

Kkeut Oriental Medicine Clinic also has safety protocols for moles suspected of being malignant.

Moles with uneven color, irregular borders, or those that suddenly change in size are not immediately removed with a laser.

If a suspicious mole is found, we immediately refer the patient to a higher medical institution.

This is why mole removal at Kkeut Oriental Medicine Clinic is considered a medical procedure, not just a cosmetic one.

Post-treatment care is also different at Kkeut Oriental Medicine Clinic.

We use DuoDERM Gel instead of regular DuoDERM stickers.

Sticker types can irritate the treated area during application and removal, and their use can be difficult for individuals with allergies.

The gel type uniformly covers the area without hassle, creating an optimal healing environment.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q. Will there be no scars after body mole removal?

A. The results of body mole removal vary depending on the mole's size, location, and depth. At Kkeut Clinic, we minimize the possibility of scarring by controlling the erbium YAG depth and setting parameters for each area, approaching with fractional treatment if necessary.

Q. Is body mole removal completed in a single session?

A. Flat, small moles are often completed in one session. For raised moles, depending on their size and root depth, two or more fractional treatments may be recommended. This will be determined after consultation at Kkeut Clinic.

Q. When can I resume daily activities after body mole removal?

A. Daily activities are possible from the day after the procedure. Sun protection for the treated area and DuoDERM gel care are important, and swimming or strenuous exercise is recommended to be resumed after the wound has healed.

Q. Can body moles near the eyes or in delicate areas also be removed?

A. At Kkeut Clinic, all types of mole treatments are possible, including raised moles and those in delicate areas such as near the eyes. We adjust equipment and protocols to suit the characteristics of each area.
