Removal of moles and other benign skin lesions using a CO₂ laser

Laser mole removal is a quick, modern, and convenient method for eliminating unwanted skin lesions.

Benefits of the procedures

Laser technologies continue to advance rapidly and have become one of the most effective methods used in modern dermatology. Laser treatment enables precise removal of skin lesions with minimal risk of scarring and a relatively short recovery period. Before the procedure, a dermatologist examines the lesion and determines whether laser removal is appropriate for the individual case. This method is particularly suitable for removing moles from visible areas, such as the face or neck, due to its precision and gentle action.

At our clinic, advanced laser technology allows unwanted skin lesions to be removed safely, quickly, and with minimal discomfort, ensuring a comfortable treatment experience and excellent aesthetic results.

The procedure is ideal for: people with benign skin lesions. For those who wish to minimise the risk of scarring. For patients with lesions in delicate areas, such as the face, neck, or other visible parts of the body.

Not suitable for: people with cases of suspected malignant skin lesions. During pregnancy or breastfeeding. In the presence of active infections. For patients with increased photosensitivity.

High precision

The laser beam enables the gentle removal of even very small lesions or those located in hard-to-reach areas, including the face and neck.

Minimal risk of scarring

Laser treatment provides an aesthetically pleasing result without sutures or prominent scars.

Versatile treatment method

This technology is suitable for removing moles, papillomas, warts, and other benign lesions from different areas of the body.

Hygienic procedure

Laser treatment maintains a sterile treatment environment and helps minimise the risk of infection.

What should you know about the procedure?

How is the procedure performed?

Local anaesthesia is usually administered before the procedure. The laser beam precisely targets the cells forming the mole and vaporises them while minimising the impact on the surrounding skin. After the procedure, the doctor provides detailed recommendations for caring for the treated area.

Our clinic uses the advanced DEKA Tetra PRO CO₂ laser, which provides a high level of precision and safety. All procedures are performed by qualified doctors, ensuring a consistently high standard of medical care.

Which skin lesions can be removed with a laser?

Moles
Laser removal may be suitable for both flat and raised moles, particularly those located in visible areas or places frequently exposed to friction.
Papillomas
Benign skin growths associated with the human papillomavirus (HPV) may be removed using laser treatment when clinically appropriate.
Warts
Laser treatment can be used to remove various types of warts, including plantar and genital warts, while helping to reduce the risk of recurrence.
Molluscum contagiosum
Small, raised, firm skin lesions caused by a viral infection that may result in discomfort or aesthetic concerns.
Keratomas
These lesions are more common in older adults. Laser removal offers a short recovery period and helps minimise the risk of scarring.
Seborrhoeic keratoses
Benign age-related skin growths that can be effectively removed with a laser while minimising visible marks.
Milia
Small white cysts that usually appear on the face and can be precisely removed with minimal impact on the surrounding skin.

Laser removal is suitable only for benign skin lesions. A consultation with a dermatologist or oncologist is mandatory before the procedure to rule out malignant changes.

Which laser is used to remove moles and other skin lesions?

At our clinic, we use the DEKA Tetra PRO – an advanced laser system designed for the removal of various skin lesions. It combines multiple laser technologies and operating modes, allowing the treatment to be tailored to each patient’s individual needs.

Benefits of the DEKA Tetra PRO for skin lesion removal:

High precision and effectiveness
Different operating modes allow the targeted removal of benign lesions, including moles, papillomas, warts, and keratomas, while minimising the impact on surrounding healthy tissue.
Low risk of complications
The laser acts with high precision, helping to reduce the risk of infection, bleeding, and scarring. Sutures are generally not required, which supports a faster and more comfortable recovery.
Wide range of applications
The DEKA Tetra PRO can be used to remove both flat and raised moles, as well as papillomas, warts, fibromas, keratomas, and other benign lesions. Subject to clinical assessment, the system may also be used to treat certain dermatological conditions involving structural or textural skin changes.
Comfortable treatment with minimal discomfort
Precise control of the laser settings and the option of local anaesthesia help make the procedure as comfortable as possible. In most cases, local anaesthesia is sufficient.
Suitable for different treatment areas
The system can be used on various parts of the body, including delicate areas such as the face, neck, and décolletage.
Short recovery period
Following treatment with the DEKA Tetra PRO, the skin generally heals quickly, allowing patients to return to their normal daily activities soon after the procedure.

The DEKA Tetra PRO is one of the most advanced laser systems for removing skin lesions, offering a high level of precision, safety, and aesthetically pleasing results.

How many sessions are needed to achieve the desired result?

The number of sessions required depends on several factors, including the type, size, and location of the lesion, as well as the patient’s overall health.

Moles, papillomas, and warts
In most cases, one session is sufficient. Large or deep lesions may occasionally require an additional procedure.
Keratomas and seborrhoeic keratoses
One session is usually sufficient. However, additional treatment may be required for large or multiple lesions.
Viral warts and molluscum contagiosum
These lesions may require several sessions, particularly if they are large, deep, or located on different areas of the body. A follow-up procedure may be recommended after several weeks to achieve optimal results.
Complex or extensive lesions
Several sessions may be required if a lesion has a complex structure or is located in a hard-to-reach area.
Multiple lesions
If a large number of moles or papillomas need to be removed, the doctor may recommend dividing the treatment into several sessions.

Indications for laser removal of skin lesions

Aesthetic concerns
Benign skin lesions, such as moles, papillomas, and warts, may cause aesthetic discomfort, particularly when located on visible areas such as the face, neck, or hands.
Mechanical irritation
Removal may be recommended when a lesion is located in an area exposed to frequent friction, such as the neck, back, underarms, feet, or hands, and is repeatedly injured, inflamed, or painful.
Repeated injury to a mole
Moles located in shaving areas or other places where they can be easily damaged may cause discomfort and recurrent inflammation.
Changes in a mole
Changes in shape, colour, or size require examination by a dermatologist. If malignancy is suspected, laser removal is not performed; the doctor may recommend surgical excision followed by histological examination.
Recurrent inflammation or infection
Removal may be recommended if a mole or another skin lesion regularly becomes inflamed or infected.
Preventive removal
Following a clinical and dermatoscopic examination, a dermatologist may recommend removing certain lesions to prevent repeated injury or other complications.
When other methods are unsuitable
If surgical excision or cryotherapy is not appropriate, a doctor may consider laser removal as an alternative, depending on the type of lesion and the patient’s health.
Age-related skin changes
Laser treatment may be used to remove age-related keratomas, seborrhoeic keratoses, and other benign lesions associated with skin ageing.
Multiple lesions
If there are numerous benign lesions, laser removal may offer a relatively quick treatment option that can be divided into several sessions.
Cosmetic skin concerns
Depending on the condition of the skin, laser treatment may also be used to improve the appearance of scars or marks left after previous lesion-removal procedures.

Laser removal is particularly suitable when a precise procedure, minimal tissue trauma, and a short recovery period are required. The appropriate treatment method is determined by a doctor following an examination and dermatoscopic assessment.

How should you prepare for the procedure?

Avoid intensive sun exposure and tanning beds for 2 weeks before the procedure.
Do not apply cosmetics to the treatment area on the day of the procedure.
Several days before the procedure, discontinue the use of topical products containing retinoids, acids such as glycolic acid, or other ingredients that may increase skin sensitivity or cause irritation. Do not stop taking prescribed medication without consulting your doctor.
Do not rub, scratch, or otherwise irritate the skin around the lesion.
Avoid planning intensive physical activity immediately after the procedure.

Contraindications

Active cancer or suspected malignant changes in the treatment area.
Active infections or inflammatory skin conditions in the treatment area.
An active herpes outbreak.
Increased photosensitivity or an individual contraindication to laser treatment.
Pregnancy or breastfeeding.
A predisposition to keloid scarring.
Very dark or recently tanned skin due to an increased risk of pigmentation changes.
Blood-clotting disorders or other haematological conditions.
