Laser hair removal is usually not applied directly to moles. There are several reasons for this:

Color Difference: Laser works by targeting dark pigments. Since moles are usually dark in color, they can absorb too much laser energy and there is a risk of burns, irritation or discoloration.

Cancer Risk: Although there is no definitive evidence that laser changes the structure of the mole, experts do not recommend applying laser to suspicious or variable moles.

Skin Sensitivity: Sensitivity may occur on the skin after laser hair removal. If laser is applied to the mole, irritation or crusting may occur.

What to Do?
Consult a Dermatologist: If you have a mole on your leg, arm or another part of your body and are considering laser hair removal, it is best to get approval from a dermatologist first.
Moles Can Be Protected: During the application, the mole can be protected from the laser by applying a white pencil or covering it with small tapes.
Laser Should Not Be Used For Suspicious Moles: If the mole changes color, shape or size, a dermatological evaluation should be performed first instead of laser epilation.
