Mole removal with a co2 laser involves taking the mole past the level of the skin. If this is not done, the mole will come back. The shock is that afterward the area is left with a hole. Dont worry this tends to fill in well. This can take a few weeks. The better you clean this the faster it will heal. The key is getting the crusts off. If the crusts are left on, the skin can grow deeper and you could be left with more of a depression. Without the crusts there, the skin is allowed to heal in more and become more level with the skin. So keep cleaning and keep the crusts off. This may require using a qtip to remove the crusts. We can help you with this process as well if you need more help.

On day 2, the crusts are starting to get harder to remove. This is when the cleaning is important and the need to be frequent with the cleaning is a vital to the whole cleaning process. The more frequent the easier it is to remove the crusting.

“I just wanted to leave a note and say that my procedure with Dr. Young approximately 6 years ago took years off my face. He did an excellent job and I am still enjoying the results. It was very much worth the downtime. I look exactly like myself, just younger. Thanks, again!”


— C.J., 40’s caucasian female from North Lynnwood, WA

“He gave me my confidence back that I thought I would never get back. I can now look in the mirror and actually love what I see and not have to deal with pitted scars in my face. If you or anyone you know who thinks they have to just live with these scars, don't!”


— Ator A., 20’s Eastern Indian from Ontario, Canada

“My procedure went great and I left the office with no concerns and all of my questions answered. I have never felt so good about myself and my appearance. I have you to thank for that Dr. Young. My new nose is perfect, I cannot thank you enough for this new look on life.”


— Nicole R., Fabulous Rhinoplasty
