Pigmented nevi (moles) treatment with Picostar picosecond laser at the erasure

What are pigmented nevi?

Pigmented nevi, commonly known as moles, are benign growths caused by clusters of melanocytes (melanin-producing cells). While most moles are harmless, many people choose to lighten or reduce their appearance for cosmetic reasons or added peace of mind.

How Picostar safely lightens benign moles

At the erasure, we use the advanced Picostar picosecond laser with its ultra-short pulses to precisely target and shatter excess melanin inside the mole — without damaging the surrounding healthy skin.

The 1064 nm nd:yag wavelength is selectively absorbed by melanin, delivering a powerful photomechanical “shockwave” that breaks pigment particles into tiny fragments that the body naturally eliminates.

Treatment highlights

  • Quick, comfortable sessions (often just minutes per mole)
  • Only topical numbing cream required — minimal sensation
  • Adjustable spot sizes ensure perfect coverage for moles of any shape, size, or location
  • Temporary redness resolves within hours to a couple of days
  • Treated moles gradually lighten and blend with surrounding skin over several weeks

What to expect

  • Progressive fading with each session (typically 2–6 treatments, depending on mole depth and darkness)
  • Darker or raised moles may need additional sessions for optimal lightening
  • No cutting, no stitches, no scarring
  • Walk-in, walk-out procedure with zero downtime
