Treatment Snapshot
Treament Time
Comfort Level
Recovery Time
7-10 days with some erythema after, which will improve with time.
Optimal Results
Permanent; however, there is a very low risk of recurrence.
What to Expect
During Treatment
The procedure begins with the application of a local anesthetic to ensure comfort. Once the area is numbed, the practitioner uses a CO₂ laser to precisely ablate the mole, flattening the skin’s surface. The entire process typically takes about 15 minutes per mole, depending on its size & location.
Recovery Phase
Post-treatment, patients may experience mild redness or a sensation similar to a paper cut in the treated area. This discomfort is usually minimal & can be managed with over-the-counter pain relievers like Tylenol if necessary. Healing typically occurs over 7 to 10 days, with some redness potentially persisting for a few weeks to three months as the skin fully recovers.
For Optimal Results
Laser Mole Removal is generally a one-time procedure with permanent results. However, there’s a very low risk of recurrence. To ensure optimal healing & minimize the risk of complications, it’s essential to follow post-treatment care instructions provided by the clinic. Regular skin evaluations are also recommended to monitor for any new or changing moles.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why do moles develop?
Moles—medically known as nevi—form when melanocytes, the skin’s pigment-producing cells, grow in clusters instead of being spread evenly. They can be present at birth or develop over time due to genetics, hormonal changes, & sun exposure. Most people develop moles during childhood & adolescence, & some may evolve in size, shape, or color over time. While most moles are harmless, any sudden changes in color, border, or size should be assessed by a dermatologist, as they may indicate a need for further evaluation.
How does Lucere’s Laser Mole Removal work?
At Lucere, we use a CO₂ (carbon dioxide) laser to gently & precisely ablate the mole’s surface, vaporizing layers of skin cells where the mole resides. The laser’s energy removes the mole without cutting or stitching, minimizing trauma to the surrounding tissue. This technique is especially well-suited for smaller, benign moles & offers excellent cosmetic outcomes. Compared to traditional surgical excision, laser removal typically results in faster healing, less risk of infection, & minimal scarring, especially when performed by skilled professionals.
Is the procedure painful?
The laser mole removal process is designed to be as comfortable as possible. Before the treatment begins, we apply a local anesthetic to the area to fully numb the skin. Patients may feel light pressure or warmth during the procedure, but most report it as virtually painless. After the anesthesia wears off, you might experience mild sensitivity similar to a small scrape or paper cut, which usually fades within a day or two. If needed, discomfort can be easily managed with over-the-counter pain relievers like Tylenol.
What is the recovery time?
Recovery after laser mole removal is typically quick & straightforward. Most clients experience some mild redness, a small scab, or light crusting in the treated area for 7–10 days. It’s important not to pick or scratch at the site during this time. While the skin may initially appear pink or slightly lighter than the surrounding tissue, this fades over several weeks to months as the skin re-pigments & remodels itself. Full cosmetic healing may take up to 3 months, especially on areas like the face or chest.
Will the mole come back after removal?
Once removed with laser treatment, the mole is unlikely to return. However, in rare cases, if pigmented cells remain deep beneath the skin, a mole may partially reappear over time. Our providers use advanced techniques to minimize this risk. It’s also important to note that new moles may continue to develop elsewhere on the body due to genetics or lifestyle factors like sun exposure. We recommend regular skin checkups to monitor your skin health & detect any changes early.
Are there any risks associated with laser mole removal?
When performed by a qualified medical professional, laser mole removal is safe & low-risk. As with any skin procedure, there’s a minimal chance of temporary redness, slight swelling, pigment changes, or very mild scarring, especially if aftercare instructions aren’t followed properly. However, compared to traditional methods, laser mole removal significantly reduces bleeding, infection risk, & healing time. At Lucere, our procedures are overseen by Dr. Zaki Taher, a Board-Certified Dermatologist, to ensure the highest standards of safety & outcomes.

During your visit, we’ll examine the area, discuss your goals, review your medical history, & answer any questions.
