The principle of laser mole removal during breastfeeding

Breastfeeding mothers can have laser mole removal. Laser mole removal uses the selective photothermal effect of light on objects of different colors (the parts containing pigments absorb more laser light). The laser is used to break up and decompose the pigment, which is then swallowed up by macrophages and excreted from the body through the lymphatic circulation, thus achieving the purpose of mole removal. However, laser mole removal is only effective for small moles. Breastfeeding mothers can use laser to remove smaller moles.

Who should not remove moles during breastfeeding?

1. Scar-prone constitution

Some breastfeeding mothers with scar-prone constitutions cannot undergo laser mole removal. Blindly undergoing mole removal may cause the tiny wounds left by the laser to not be automatically repaired by the skin, which will cause scars on the skin.

2. People with skin diseases

Mothers who suffer from skin diseases during breastfeeding should not remove moles. This is because removing moles for people with skin diseases may aggravate the disease and affect the health of breastfeeding mothers.

3. Patients with blood diseases

People with blood diseases or coagulation disorders during breastfeeding are not suitable for mole removal, because mole removal for patients with blood diseases may cause some complications. In addition, mole removal for breastfeeding mothers with coagulation disorders will prolong the recovery period.
