Q: Can you get rid of this mole with a laser? And how much does it cost?
A: We do indeed offer mole removal, but not with a laser. Generally it is not advisable to remove moles by laser if they are in fact true moles and not something else. That is because the laser is a burning tool, and that destroys the mole–then there is no way to do a biopsy (which should be done). If the moles are raised, usually a shave excision is performed on them and this costs about $190 to $230/mole. If moles require an excision because they are large, flat or irregular in appearance, this requires suturing and could run $250-$450/mole.
