What Is Laser Mole Removal?
Laser Mole Removal is a fast and effective cosmetic treatment to get rid of unwanted moles. An UltraPulse CO(2) Laser uses the energy of light to photo-evaporate moles, skin tags, and other growths. This procedure doesn’t involve cutting or stitching. The use of laser energy gives our doctors the utmost control for the best cosmetic results.
Laser treatments are excellent for eliminating displeasing or uncomfortable moles, especially facial moles.

The Laser Mole Removal Procedure
Before your procedure is underway, Profile MD starts with your pre-treatment consultation. Our doctors will inspect your mole(s) to see if any concerning changes are taking place such as changes in size, shape, and color, or failure to heal. If so, a biopsy will be taken.
During this step, you’ll be provided with information about your procedure. Your consultation allows us to determine the best step forward that not only addresses your specific needs but also provides assurance for successful removal.
Once it’s time for your procedure, your mole(s) will be numbed with lidocaine for comfort. Your doctor will then use the UltraPulse CO(2) Laser to photo-evaluate the mole. The removal time takes between 10-15 minutes but could take longer depending on the number of moles.
Small band-aids are applied to the treated areas. You’ll also be given instructions to keep the site clean and moist. For aid during the healing process, we also sell a specially compounded cream at our front desk.
We will also schedule a follow-up appointment to make sure the results are satisfactory.
Types of Skin Lesions Treated With Laser Technology
Various types of skin lesions can be treated with laser technology for cosmetic reasons. These types of skin lesions include:
Moles
Moles come in a variety of types. Benign moles are noncancerous and are typically oval-shaped or round. Atypical moles are different from most moles due to their irregular shape, colors, and size. They are also known for being flat or raised. While this type of mole is noncancerous, they do have the potential to become cancerous.
Benign and atypical moles can be treated by laser technology, but atypical moles may require further testing to determine if it’s noncancerous. If there are signs of cancer, more extensive surgeries are most likely required.
Profile MD proudly offers laser treatments geared toward skin cancer.
Skin Tags
Skin tags are small flaps of tissue that hang off the skin by a thin stalk. Skin tags are more likely to be found in areas with high amounts of skin friction. These areas include:
- Neck
- Eyelids
- Armpits
- Groin
- Underneath breasts
Removing unwanted skin tags with laser technology is a great choice due to the treatment’s quick and painless removal.
Beauty Marks
Beauty marks are small dark spots on the skin. They are called “beauty marks” because they are considered visually appealing to many. These marks differ from moles because moles are skin growths caused by an accumulation of pigmented cells called melanocytes. If your beauty mark is bothering you, it can be removed with laser treatment.
Other Skin Lesions
Other skin irregularities like warts and age spots can also be treated with laser technology. At Profile MD, we additionally offer Laser Wart Removal to eliminate warts for good.

Laser Mole Removal FAQs
How many laser mole removal sessions are needed?
Only one session is usually needed. Deeper and larger moles may require an additional session or two.
Is the procedure painful?
Because we use lidocaine to numb the area, Laser Mole Removal is relatively painless. Medications or warm soaks can be provided if needed.
Will the mole return after removal?
Not typically. In some cases, a residual color will remain after healing. The doctors can clear this up at your follow-up appointment if it is visible. Some patients may notice it after a few months, but it is easily treatable.
How much does laser mole removal cost?
The cost of Laser Mole Removal is based on clinical diagnosis, size, and number of lesions being treated. All costs are disclosed before treatment. If you need help covering the cost of Laser Mole Removal, we offer financing options through Cherry.
Will my insurance cover mole removal?
Many insurance companies will cover a portion of this procedure if the mole changes in size, shape, or color, or if it fails to heal. Profile MD only works with Medicare, but we are happy to prepare and send the paperwork for you as a courtesy.
