Laser mole removal & skin lesion removal in Leamington Spa

Laser mole removal is a quick, non-invasive procedure designed to safely and effectively remove unwanted moles without surgery. AYU Aesthetics have many clients seeking professional laser mole removal who travel to Leamington Spa from across Warwickshire and Birmingham.

Below, Dr. Matt George explains the benefits of laser mole removal, why it’s a trusted alternative to surgical excision and how this treatment helps clients achieve clearer, blemish-free skin with minimal discomfort.

What is Laser Mole Removal?

Laser mole removal is a cosmetic procedure used to remove moles and other skin lesions using focused laser beams. The laser targets the pigment in the mole, breaking it down without damaging the surrounding skin. This method is highly effective for both raised and flat moles, providing excellent cosmetic results with minimal scarring.

Laser technology, especially CO2 lasers, are widely used for this purpose due to its precision and ability to offer excellent results. CO2 lasers work by emitting concentrated light that vaporises the mole, allowing for precise removal of the lesion.

How Does Laser Mole Removal Work?

Laser mole removal works by focusing a laser beam on the mole. The heat from the laser breaks down the pigmented cells in the mole, which are then absorbed and naturally eliminated by the body. This process is minimally invasive and typically involves little to no bleeding.

During the procedure, a local anaesthetic is applied to numb the area, ensuring patient comfort. The dermatologist or surgeon uses the laser to carefully remove the mole, ensuring no to minimal damage to the surrounding skin. The laser’s precision allows for the removal of moles without leaving a noticeable scar, making it a preferred method for cosmetic mole removal.

Benefits of the Treatments

Remove lesions with no scarring

The procedure is generally not painful as a local anaesthetic is used to numb the area. You may feel a slight tingling or warmth from the laser.

Healing time varies, but most people can expect the area to heal within a few weeks. You may have a scab that forms and falls off, leaving a pink mark that gradually fades.

While laser mole removal is generally safe, there are potential risks and complications to be aware of: Infection: Proper aftercare is essential to prevent infection at the treated site. Scarring: Although minimal, there is still a risk of scarring, especially if aftercare instructions are not followed. Pigmentation Changes: Some patients may experience hyperpigmentation or hypopigmentation in the treated area. It’s crucial to follow your dermatologist’s aftercare instructions to minimise these risks and ensure optimal healing.

Benign skin lesions such as moles, Xanthelasma, skin tags, keratosis, DPN

Benign skin lesions such as moles, Xanthelasma, skin tags, keratosis, and DPN are common occurrences that can occur on the skin surface. Many individuals have moles that are removed by doctors or surgeons through dermatology or plastic surgery. These moles are harmless but may be noticeable, especially if they are darker skin or red and raised. If you have a skin lesion removed such as a mole removed, it may leave a lesion removed area that looks like a graze. In some cases, the area may need to be closed with stitches to help the skin cells heal properly.

Why Choose Laser for Mole Removal?

Laser mole removal offers several benefits compared to traditional methods like surgical excision or shave excision. Some of the key advantages include:

Precision: Lasers can target the mole precisely without affecting the surrounding skin.
Minimal Scarring: Laser mole removal is known for leaving minimal scars, making it an excellent choice for cosmetic purposes.
Quick Recovery: The procedure is less invasive, resulting in faster healing and recovery times.
Effective for Various Moles: Both flat and raised moles can be effectively removed using laser treatment.

Considering these benefits, many patients opt for laser mole removal for both cosmetic and medical reasons.

What to expect during the laser mole removal procedure at AYU Aesthetics in Leamington Spa?

The laser mole removal procedure is relatively simple and quick. Here’s a step-by-step overview of what you can expect during the laser mole removal at our clinic in Leamington Spa:

Consultation: Dr. Matt George will assess the mole to ensure it is suitable for laser removal and discuss your medical history.
Preparation: The area around the mole will be cleaned and a local anaesthetic will be applied to numb the area.
Removal: We use a CO2 laser to remove the mole. The laser targets the pigment in the mole, breaking it down.
Post-Procedure Care: After the mole is removed, the area may be covered with a bandage. You’ll receive instructions on how to care for the treated area to promote healing and prevent infection.

The entire procedure typically takes about 30 minutes to an hour, depending on the size and number of moles being removed.

Who Should Consider Laser Mole Removal?

Laser mole removal is suitable for individuals who want to remove moles for cosmetic reasons or because the moles are causing discomfort. It is also a good option for those who have moles in sensitive areas where traditional surgical methods might leave noticeable scars.

However, not all moles are suitable for laser removal. Suspicious moles or those that may be cancerous should be evaluated by a dermatologist or General Practitioner (GP), who may recommend removal by other methods and further testing, such as a biopsy, to ensure the mole is benign.

Comparing Laser Mole Removal with Other Methods

When considering mole removal, it’s important to compare different methods to determine which is best for you. Here are some common mole removal methods:

Surgical Excision: This method involves cutting out the mole and surrounding skin and closing the wound with stitches. It’s often used for larger moles but can leave a more noticeable scar.
Shave Excision: This involves shaving off the mole at skin level. It’s less invasive than surgical excision but may not be suitable for all types of moles.
Laser Removal: As discussed, laser removal offers precision and minimal scarring, making it ideal for cosmetic mole removal.

Each method has its pros and cons, and the best choice depends on the mole’s size, location, and whether it’s benign or suspicious.

				My eyes haven’t looked so good in years . Having had botched filler and it removed several times I was very reluctant to have under eye filler again but desperate to correct the treatments I’d recieved . I waited 3 years and I was confident DR Matt was the only practitioner I’d let near my face and I’m so happy I did . Five stars from me

				I found the clinic well located for parking and clean and welcoming upon arrival. I was given plenty of time to talk through my concerns and the possible solutions. My treatment was carried out sympathetically to my fears. I'm terrified of most treatments, but my vanity and Dr George's patience won through. I can comment on the results in a couple of weeks, but have no reason to think they won't be good. I have a follow up appointment to ensure all is well.

				I had few procedures done at a different clinic and the experience was far from satisfactory. As such, I was a bit anxious about the procedure, however, I instantly was put at ease by Dr Matt's experience and knowledge. He answered all of my questions in detailed and understandable manner as well as was very clear about what to expect and limitations which was refreshing to hear. The treatment itself was quick and uneventful. Moving forward I’ll continue with getting procedures done at Dr Matt’s clinic and would highly recommend it to everyone.

				I came to see Dr Matt after trying several other places. I had also tried another procedure, which didn't work and was rather traumatic. It suffices to say I was equally scared and dubious when I arrived for my appointment.  I shouldn't have worried as I instantly was put at ease by Dr Matt's experience and knowledge. He answered all of my questions and was very candid about what to expect. His honesty was incredibly refreshing.  The treatment was quick and relatively painless, and the results are extraordinary! More importantly though my experience instantly cured my phobia and made me feel more assured. I just wish I had found Dr Matt sooner.  I highly recommend AYU Aesthetics and moving forward will always go to Dr Matt first for advice and treatment. Thank you so much!!

				This was my first experience of aesthetics and I was quite nervous about taking that first step. I needn't have worried as Dr Mat George was personable, professional and he talked me through the various options in detail, was never pushy and listened to all my questions (which were quite a few) giving clear and detailed answers. I felt totally reassured and the results were amazing! I cannot recommend highly  enough!

				I can’t recommend Dr Matt enough. I will only trust a medical professional with my body. I went to see him to see how he could help me with my fine lines and wrinkles and ageing skin and had a treatment with Anti-Wrinkle Injections and Profhilo and am so happy with the results. I have already re-booked and have recommended to my friends and family!
