Moles, medically known as nevi, are found in many people, and some people may want to have their moles removed for aesthetic reasons. The most important stage of the mole removal process is for a dermatologist to determine whether the mole is benign or not. Moles that are likely to be malignant should be removed surgically, not with a laser, and sent to pathology.

Dangerous Moles
A dermatologist determines whether a mole is dangerous or not. However, it is important to know in which cases you should see a doctor. You can use the ABCD rule for this.

ABCD Rule
Asymmetry: If there is an irregularity in the shape of the mole, it is a situation that should be considered.
Border: If there is an irregularity, indentation or protrusion on the edges of the mole, it is important.
Color: If the mole contains more than one color other than a single color, it can be dangerous.
Diameter: If the diameter of the mole is larger than 6 mm, it should be taken into consideration.
For moles that have two or more of these four criteria in the ABCD rule, it is recommended to consult a dermatologist as soon as possible without panicking.

Laser Mole Removal
All moles that are approved as benign by a dermatologist can be removed with a laser. The procedure is painless since anesthesia is applied and usually takes a few minutes.

Will There Be a Scar?
While small and superficial moles do not leave a scar when removed, larger and deeper moles may leave smaller, slightly hollow or skin-colored scars.

Things Those With Moles Should Be Careful About
Protecting from the sun is very important. Direct sunlight should be avoided, especially between 11:00 and 15:00. The sunscreen should have a high protection factor; at least SPF 15 for adults and 30 for children. Sunscreen should be applied half an hour before going out in the sun and should be renewed every two or three hours. In addition, sitting under an umbrella in open areas by the sea is not enough; additional precautions should be taken to protect against reflected UV rays. Even on cloudy days, UV rays can damage your skin, so it is important to wear appropriate clothing and use a wide-brimmed hat and UV-protective glasses. UV-protective swimsuits and clothing should be preferred for children.

Laser Mole Treatment Prices
Laser mole removal prices vary depending on the size and number of moles.
