Mole removal in Gangnam, Seoul
Benign flat or raised moles removed precisely with CO2 laser or radiofrequency after a doctor’s examination — a quick visit with care focused on a flat, discreet finish.
How are moles removed with a laser?
Laser mole removal uses an ablative CO2 laser (or radiofrequency) to vaporise a benign mole layer by layer under local numbing, without stitches. A doctor first examines the mole; anything irregular or changing is removed surgically and sent for pathology instead of being lasered. The small wound heals in about 7–14 days.
Flat pigmented moles may also respond to pigment lasers. Deeper moles can recur because some cells remain in the dermis, in which case a second session or excision is discussed.

Mole removal questions we hear most
Can’t find your answer? Message our English-speaking team on WhatsApp.
Does laser mole removal leave a scar?
Small moles usually heal flat with a faint mark that fades over months. Deeper or larger moles carry more scar risk, which is why size and depth are assessed first.
Is it safe to laser a mole?
Yes for moles a doctor has examined and judged benign. Moles with warning signs are excised and checked by pathology instead.
Can a mole come back after laser?
Some deeper moles can recur because cells remain in the dermis. A second treatment or excision can be discussed if this happens.
How should I care for the area?
Keep the protective patch and ointment on as instructed, avoid picking the scab, and use sunscreen for 2–3 months to prevent post-inflammatory pigmentation.
Can I remove skin tags in the same visit?
Yes. Skin tags and moles are often removed together in one appointment.
