Moles, also known as nevi, are common skin formations that can appear on anyone. These small, dark brown spots are formed due to the accumulation of melanocytes, cells responsible for the pigmentation of our skin, hair, and eyes. Typically, the number of moles on the body varies from ten to forty, and they most often appear in childhood and adolescence.
Over time, moles can change their appearance and sometimes even disappear. Interestingly, new moles can also appear in more mature age. They can be located in various places – from the scalp to the armpits, intimate areas, under the nails, and also between the fingers of hands and feet. Changes in the color of moles during puberty due to hormonal changes are also a normal phenomenon.
Although most moles are absolutely harmless, it’s important to remember that some of them can be signs of malignant formations. Therefore, when deciding to remove them, it’s always recommended to consult with a doctor.
How do we remove moles?
We offer advanced solutions for mole removal, moving away from traditional surgical methods that can leave scars. Understanding that each mole is unique, we offer individual non-surgical, non-invasive removal methods that minimize the risk of scarring, especially in cases with deep mole roots.
Mole removal methods include advanced technologies such as radiosurgery, Intense Pulsed Light (IPL), Nd Yag and KTP lasers, and CO2 fractional laser – one of the most effective methods we actively use in our clinic. These methods have been clinically tested, verified, and proven safe and effective.
Especially notable is the CO2 laser mole removal procedure, which ensures scarless removal and simultaneously prevents scar formation. This procedure is suitable for regular moles and is conducted over several sessions, allowing you to quickly return to normal life without lengthy recovery.

Conclusion
The laser method is an ideal non-surgical and non-invasive option for those looking for an alternative to surgical mole and wart removal. The procedure requires no recovery time and does not have side effects on the surrounding skin tissues, while promoting skin regeneration.
This procedure is especially suitable for people with noticeable moles on the face but is applicable only for non-malignant formations. Our certified doctors will conduct a thorough consultation before the procedure to ensure safety and effectiveness. It’s important to note that we perform this procedure only for adults.
After the procedure, a crust forms on the treated skin area, which should not be forcibly removed. Natural exfoliation of the crust occurs within 7-14 days. It’s important to note that the treated area may temporarily appear red and indented, and skin recovery can take from 3 to 6 months, depending on the individual characteristics of the patient.
We recommend that patients avoid direct sunlight after the procedure and regularly use sunscreen to protect the skin and facilitate its healing.
Step 1: Fill out the QUESTIONNAIRE
First and foremost, you need to fill out a form. This will help us and the surgeons better understand your expectations and review your medical history. In the form, be sure to provide your personal information, details about any previous surgeries, and your current health condition. Unfortunately, patients with HIV infection are not eligible for plastic surgeries in Korea.
Step 2: Attach photos
Attaching photos of the areas of your body or face that you would like to have corrected is a crucial step. This allows us to make a preliminary cost estimate and direct you to a specialist who can address your concerns.
Step 3: Submit and wait for confirmation
After submitting the form and photos, your application will be reviewed, and we will contact you to confirm details and schedule a consultation.
Step 4: Prepare for the consultation
Prepare a list of questions you would like to ask the coordinator and surgeon during the consultation.
