MOLE REMOVAL

Mole excision from both face and body is a rather simple procedure. This can be done either surgically or with laser, in most cases under local anesthesia. In the majority of cases, mole removal is not performed for medical or diagnostic purposes but due to cosmetic reasons. In these cases, laser removal is preferred.

The term “nevus” or “mole” is often used in a way that refers to all benign and malignant skin lesions. It is medically correct for every skin lesion to be examined by a specialized physician, either a dermatologist or a plastic surgeon to ensure a correct diagnosis. After the clinical evaluation, removal of the skin lesion can be safely performed.

Μole removal with lasers is an absolutely safe medical procedure, provided that medical examination has preceded. Furthermore, the procedure has the advantage of a better cosmetic outcome. With this method there is no use of sutures and the scar is almost invisible after a few months.

Additionally, the use of CO2 laser is very effective in treating the following medical conditions:

• Eyelid xanthelasma
• Skin papillomas
• Skin warts
• Hyperkeratosis
• Callus
