Laser Mole Removal in Edmonton
At our trusted Edmonton clinic, Dr. Russ Wong offers safe and medically-led laser mole removal for unwanted skin lesions, skin tags, and seborrheic keratoses. As a highly experienced skin specialist, Dr. Wong uses CO₂ laser technology to deliver precise, minimally invasive treatment options tailored to your unique skin condition, skin type, and cosmetic goals.
Whether you're concerned about the appearance of a mole or have been advised to remove a lesion for health reasons, we provide evidence-based skin treatments for a wide range of skin concerns. From cosmetic skin imperfections to actinic keratoses and benign skin growths, your care is guided by Skin Experts who understand the importance of maintaining overall skin health.
What Is Laser Mole Removal?
Laser mole removal uses focused CO₂ laser energy to break down unwanted pigment and tissue with extreme precision. This method is especially effective for:
- Flat and raised moles
- Skin tags and seborrheic keratoses
- Benign skin lesions
- Pre-cancerous actinic keratoses
- Some forms of vascular lesions
The laser therapy vaporizes the upper layers of skin where the lesion resides while preserving healthy tissue underneath. This supports smoother skin texture, improved skin's appearance, and effective healing with reduced risk of scarring. The advanced laser technology used in this procedure aligns with the natural contours of your facial anatomy, offering precision even in delicate areas.
WHAT TO EXPECT DURING YOUR TREATMENT
Consultation & Skin Assessment
Your experience begins with a personalized consultation and visual assessment using advanced skin imaging tools. Dr. Wong will examine your mole or lesion and determine whether laser treatment is appropriate. If necessary, we may refer for biopsy or histological analysis to rule out skin cancer. This ensures that any underlying skin disorder is addressed safely and effectively.
Conditions Treated with CO2 Laser
- Benign moles and skin tags
- Seborrheic keratoses and actinic keratoses
- Cherry angiomas and pigmented lesions
- Skin growths and superficial vascular lesions
- Small skin cancers (as part of approved treatment plans)
CO₂ laser therapy is an advanced solution for treating a wide range of skin concerns with accuracy and minimal disruption to surrounding tissue. Whether you’re seeking cosmetic improvement or addressing a medical skin condition, this technology allows for controlled removal of targeted lesions with excellent cosmetic outcomes
Procedure
The treatment area is numbed using local anesthesia to ensure your comfort. The CO2 laser removal process takes just a few minutes per lesion, depending on the size and location. Dr. Wong uses a precision-guided laser handpiece to target the lesion without damaging surrounding skin. For larger areas or stubborn lesions, multiple sessions may be needed.
Patients often ask about laser mole removal pain. Most report only mild discomfort - similar to the sensation of a small rubber band snap - thanks to the numbing effect of the local anaesthetic. Post-treatment, the area may feel warm or slightly sensitive, but this typically resolves quickly.
Post-Treatment Care
You may experience mild redness, scabbing, or sensitivity as your skin heals. Proper skin care and sun protection are essential to support recovery and long-term results. Our team provides detailed aftercare instructions tailored to your skin type and the specific skin treatments performed.
Results: What to Expect After Laser Mole Removal
Laser mole removal delivers precise and targeted results, often eliminating or significantly reducing the appearance of moles, skin tags, and benign lesions in a single session. The treatment is designed to improve skin clarity and texture without affecting the surrounding tissue, allowing for a smooth, natural-looking finish. Because CO₂ laser energy can be finely controlled, results are especially effective in delicate areas such as the face, neck, and décolletage, where cosmetic outcomes are a priority.
Most patients see a noticeable improvement in the treated area within a short period, with the skin appearing clearer and more even-toned. For cosmetic mole removal, this translates into a refreshed, refined look with minimal visible signs of treatment. In cases where multiple lesions are addressed, the overall effect is a more uniform skin appearance that aligns with your aesthetic goals. Dr. Wong’s medical expertise ensures that each treatment is tailored to your skin’s unique characteristics, delivering reliable and high-quality results.
