How Many Sessions? What Equipment? I’ll Tell You What You’re Curious About

“From the reviews, it looks like some moles aren’t removed in just one session. Is that really true?”

“What kind of equipment should be used to remove a mole?”

Moles rarely harm your health, but many people consider removing them because they can make the skin look unclean.

This is especially true if the mole is in a noticeable area or is relatively large.

Mole removal is known as a fairly simple procedure, but when people read reviews mentioning things like “I was left with a scar” or “It came back,” they may feel worried.

The procedure itself is not difficult, but these issues can occur if a few important points are overlooked.

Today, along with the equipment used for mole removal, I’ll explain in detail the things you should know before and after the procedure.

How are moles removed?

A mole is called a nevus, formed when skin pigment cells gather in one area.

In simple terms, melanin pigment, which gives hair and skin their color, concentrates locally in the skin and appears dark.

Genetics can play a role, but the biggest cause is ultraviolet rays.

People who spend a lot of time outdoors or do not apply sunscreen consistently may develop moles more easily.

The basic principle of mole removal is to destroy this melanin pigment.

It works by delivering energy at a specific wavelength that pigment absorbs well, breaking the melanin into smaller pieces so it can be more easily eliminated from the body.

A representative device used for this is the Co2 laser.

The Co2 laser is a device that reacts to the “water” in skin tissue.

By delivering thermal energy into the water, it removes lesions through a process of “vaporization.”

The wavelength used here is 10,600 nm, which has little reflection or scattering, making it possible to precisely target even deep moles.

At this point, some people may think, “If it’s vaporization, won’t the skin get irritated?”

However, the Co2 laser delivers high-output energy over a very short time, which helps minimize skin damage.

In particular, because it can shave off protruding mole tissue, it is also suitable for removing various types of moles.

Why do moles recur?

When you look at mole removal reviews, it is not hard to come across stories saying, “The mole came back.”

Because of that, many people may think mole removal requires multiple sessions.

To get straight to the point, there are definitely moles that can be removed in just one session.

Moles are often located in the epidermal layer, so they are considered a relatively easy pigment lesion to remove.

However, if a mole is located deep in the dermis or is large, there may be limits to what one session can achieve.

No matter how powerful the device is, removing pigment deep in the dermis completely may require about 2 to 3 sessions.

If a mole has recurred, the first thing to consider is whether the number of treatment sessions was simply insufficient.

But some people also say, “I had it done several times, but it came back.”

In such cases, instead of the number of sessions, insufficient aftercare should be considered.

Right after mole removal, the skin is in a very sensitive state, as if one layer has peeled away.

If the skin is exposed directly to ultraviolet rays during this time, it will produce too much melanin to protect itself, and as a result, it may appear like a mole.

That is why, after mole removal, it is especially important to protect the skin thoroughly from UV exposure.

Shinnonhyeon mole removal is classified as a relatively simple procedure, but the number of sessions needed can vary depending on the depth and size of the mole.

Co2 lasers are commonly used, but the method may differ depending on the individual’s skin condition and the characteristics of the mole, so an accurate diagnosis is most important.

Please make sure to decide on the procedure after enough consultation and by setting a plan that suits you.
