The effects of the pigment laser I experienced after getting a lip mole removed

I had a mole on my lower lip, and it was large enough that it couldn't be covered even with lipstick.

I visited a dermatology clinic for a consultation on mole removal and had it removed using a pigmentation laser. The pigment laser was so effective that I recommend it to anyone with moles on their lips.

 

lip mole

There was a long, vertical brown spot on one side of the lower lip.

The color was quite intense, so it wasn't covered even with lipstick.

It wasn't a mole that had been there for a long time; it appeared at some point without me even realizing it.

 

I went to the dermatology clinic and had a check-up.

The doctor examined it and said it is not a normal mole, but likely hyperpigmentation from a scar left behind by repeated irritation from picking at dead skin cells on the lips or causing bleeding.

I think it was because I had a bad habit of picking at the dead skin on my lips.

It wasn't a problem serious enough to require a biopsy, so I had it removed with a laser.

The hospital said it was a pigment laser, but I can't remember the exact name of the laser device.

 

Pigment laser

I understand that this laser is frequently used to remove freckles and moles because the pigment laser is very effective.

Since the skin on the lips is very thin, we decided to proceed with a gentler approach in two sessions rather than doing it strongly all at once.

Honestly, I thought it would hurt a lot. After all, the lips are such a sensitive area.

 

I applied the anesthetic ointment and waited for about 20 to 30 minutes, and my lips started to tingle shortly after applying it.

 

The laser made a few popping sounds and then finished quickly!

I was surprised that it didn't hurt as much as I expected, and from that moment on, my expectations for the pigment laser's effects grew even higher.

 

After 1 procedure

Immediately after the procedure, there was some swelling and a slight wound, but other than that, the black spot pigmentation faded right away.

The size of the spot decreased immediately, too. The pigment laser was really effective.

 

I went back in a week and after 2 laser sessions

After doing it twice, the size shrank even more and the redness faded.

And the removal procedure is done!

I really felt the effects of the pigment laser.

 

After about ten days here, the red marks disappeared, and my lips returned to their natural color.

If you look closely, you can see brown traces indicating the process of returning to the original lip color... but the pigment laser was so effective that they are barely visible in the photo.

 

And now!

Even the traces have been completely erased haha

I thought recovery would be slow since the lips are a constantly moving part of the body, but

Recovery after the procedure was faster than I expected, and it didn't feel like it left a scar.

The recovery period is fast, so the pigment laser effect gets a perfect score!!

 

And for those of you who frequently pick at your lips ㅠㅠ, it can turn into lip moles, so please never pick at the dead skin and make sure to use lip balm and moisturize.

Overall, I was very satisfied with the procedure, so the pigment laser was really effective for me!
