- A simple dressing such as duo-derm extra thin can then be continued for 7 days after cosmetic mole removal. This can be changed as required.
- Antibiotic ointment is then applied at each dressing change.

“In many cases, one treatment session may be sufficient to achieve the desired cosmetic outcome for mole, lump, bump, or skin tag removal. While removal treatments aim for long-term results, there remains a possibility of recurrence. If regrowth occurs, further treatments may be discussed during your consultation. Your clinician will clearly outline possible outcomes and associated risks based on your individual situation. Individual results and experiences may vary.

The hair shaft often penetrates deeply within the dermis, many millimetres below the base of the mole. Often mole hairs can persist despite complete mole removal. This can be treated with our hair removal laser.
