Mole Removal with CO₂ Laser Ablation
At Saranghae Aesthetics + Medical Clinic, selected unwanted moles can be treated with CO₂ laser ablation following a doctor’s assessment. The treatment uses controlled laser energy to precisely remove targeted skin tissue, with the approach customised according to the mole’s size, depth, appearance and location.
What is Mole Removal with CO₂ Laser Ablation?
CO₂ laser ablation uses focused laser energy to vaporise and remove targeted skin tissue layer by layer. The doctor carefully controls the laser to treat the selected mole while limiting treatment to the surrounding skin.
Before treatment, the mole is assessed to determine whether CO₂ laser ablation is suitable. Not all moles are appropriate for cosmetic laser removal, particularly if they have suspicious or changing features.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is CO₂ laser mole removal painful?
A local anaesthetic may be used to improve comfort during the procedure. Some pressure, warmth or mild sensation may still be experienced.
Can all moles be removed with CO₂ laser?
No. CO₂ laser ablation is suitable only for selected moles following a doctor’s assessment. Some moles may require a different method of removal or further medical evaluation.
Will there be scarring after treatment?
As CO₂ laser ablation removes skin tissue, there is a possibility of scarring or temporary changes in skin pigmentation. Your doctor will discuss the potential risks before treatment.
How many sessions are needed?
Many suitable moles can be treated in one session, but this depends on the mole’s size, depth and individual characteristics.
How long does the area take to heal?
Healing time varies depending on the size, depth and location of the treated area. Your doctor will provide personalised aftercare instructions.
