On the day of the procedure, a few centimeters of thickly folded gauze will be applied to the area to stop the bleeding, and then fixed with adhesive tape, so please understand that it will be noticeable to some extent.
After that, if there is no bleeding, the dressing can be a little smaller, but until the stitches are removed in a week, the wound should be treated and the area should be covered with a small gauze or adhesive bandage to prevent infection. The recommended method may vary depending on your actual condition, so please refer to this as a general guideline. If you come to our clinic once, we will be able to give you more accurate information according to your symptoms, so please make an appointment to see us. In the case of excision, Hiro Skin Clinic accepts your insurance card, so please be sure to bring it with you.

There are two ways to treat moles: laser scraping and excision with a scalpel, but for your condition, we recommend excision. The laser is a convenient method for small moles, but for large moles that are larger than 4 mm, it often results in a scar that looks like a deep hole the size of the mole, which is not recommended for those who want to make the scar less noticeable. In the case of excision, the scar will be sharp and thin, so although it will leave a slight scar, many people find that it will be almost invisible in the future. In this case, you will be treated at the Hiro Skin Plastic Surgery Clinic in the insurance department. If you are interested, please come for a consultation and discuss with us.

Here, we offer both laser and excision treatments. Depending on the size, location, and color of the mole, there are different limits to which laser treatment will not leave scars.
If we think that excision will heal more beautifully, we may recommend that. Laser treatment does not require a lot of waiting, but in the case of excision, if it is on the same day, you may have to wait a little longer, or if it is at night and the appointment is full, you may be accommodated at a later time.

At our clinic, we treat them either by excision with a scalpel or by scraping with a laser. Depending on the location, size, etc., we will discuss through consultation which method will heal more beautifully. In any case, we will take care of the wound, and in the case of laser treatment, we will include the tape and ointment in the treatment fee. If you try to remove a large mole with a laser, there is a high risk of leaving a crater like acne scars or chicken pox scars. In such cases, excision is a better option. The maximum size of the scar that can be removed by laser is 3-4mm. Both excision and laser treatment take about 15 minutes. However, the excision is done in the operating room in between consultations, so you may have to wait for some time. Even so, the procedure can be completed in about an hour.

For UV protection after mole treatment, no matter what time of the year you have the treatment, you should always use a strong sunscreen after the tape treatment is completed for at least 6 months until you recover.
It doesn’t matter when you get the tape, the rest of the procedure is the same. The most delicate period is during the two-week period when the tape is applied and right after the tape is removed, so if it is the middle of summer or you want to tan at the beach, you might want to move the tape. The plaster will be coated with a medicine that will help the wound heal, and the oil will repel some of the oil, so there is no problem with sunscreen or foundation on the plaster as long as it is applied gently without rubbing.

In our clinic, treatment is done either by laser or excision with a scalpel.
The lips are a relatively fast healing area, so even if they are slightly larger, laser treatment is often possible, but we will consult with you to determine the best treatment for your needs. All methods require an injection of topical anesthesia.
It is the same as anesthesia at the dentist. This is because the ointment anesthesia that is applied does not penetrate deep enough.
It is possible to use an ointment anesthesia first to reduce the pain of the anesthetic injection before injecting it.
Since the size of the scar is large, it may leave a scar like a crease in the case of excision, or a dent or a slightly lighter color in the case of laser treatment, but in the case of the lips, I think most people will not mind it in the end because it heals quickly and can be hidden with lipstick. If you don’t want to leave a dent from the laser treatment, you can scrape it off in moderation and then re-scrape the part that appeared again.
