01
Start here — direct answer
How are moles removed, and what does it cost in Busan?
A mole
(nevus) is a cluster of pigment cells, flat or raised, with a base that sits in the dermis. The CO2 laser vaporises it layer by layer under local anaesthetic, sealing small vessels as it goes, until the base is reached and no further; stopping at the right depth is what keeps the mark minimal and what keeps the mole from regrowing. The same laser removes seborrhoeic keratoses
(the raised brown "age spots"), skin tags
, milia
, syringomas
and warts
, each with its own page and the same per-lesion pricing. Flat freckles and sun spots are not lesions and are not ablated; they go to picosecond
on the freckle plan.
Before anything is removed at Boom Dermatology, the doctor looks at each lesion with a dermatoscope. Most are plainly benign and come off in the same visit; anything irregular in colour, border or recent change is examined properly or referred for histology rather than lasered away, because a lesion that needs checking should never be vaporised. Prices are per lesion, ₩5,500 for a small flat one to ₩33,000 for a large or deep one, numbing and the check included, counted and agreed before the first pulse. A dozen small moles in one visit is routine; the scabs travel with you.

How do I know it is not something that needs checking first?
Will it grow back?
I have twelve of them. Can they all come off in one visit?

All of these come up most weeks at our Seomyeon skin clinic. The page answers them in order.
02
Who it suits
Who mole removal suits, and who should wait
Good candidates
Raised or flat moles the doctor confirms as benign
Patients who can keep the spots covered and sunscreened for a month
Visitors who can travel with small scabs
We will suggest something else
A mole that has changed in size, colour or border; it is checked or referred, not removed
Keloid tendency on the body; the doctor advises
Tanned skin over the lesion; wait four weeks
Isotretinoin in the last six months
Lesions on the lip line or eyelid margin, which may be referred
03
The visit
What happens at a mole removal visit in Seomyeon?
This is how a mole removal visit runs at Boom Dermatology, a skin clinic in Seomyeon, Busan, from the first message to the review.
1
Message first
A daylight photo without make-up and what bothers you. The doctor replies with the plan, the device, the session count and the VAT-included price.
2
Consultation
The problem is read, not assumed: type, depth, skin type, history. The plan and settings go on your record.
3
Cleanse and cool
Make-up off, eye shields on; cooling gel or numbing cream by device.
4
Test pulses, then treatment
A few test pulses where the response can be read, then the session by the doctor.
5
Out the door
Sunscreen before you leave; aftercare by device, written on WhatsApp.
6
Review and rhythm
A photo at two to six weeks sets the interval; a mid-course review decides continue, stop or switch.
How does Boom Dermatology remove a mole?
Three rules that decide the mark you are left with.
Check, then remove
Dermatoscope on every lesion; irregular ones are examined or referred, never vaporised.
Stop at the base
Layer by layer to the bottom of the lesion and no deeper; depth is what makes the difference between a faint dot and a pit.
A month of sunscreen
The pink spot that follows the scab darkens if it sees sun; covering it is what makes it disappear.
04

Downtime after mole removal, and flying home
Honestly stated: a small scab on each spot for five to ten days, longer for raised moles, then a pink mark that fades over weeks to months. Keep the scab dry for a day, ointment after, no picking. Fly the same evening; the scabs travel. Sunscreen on the healed spots for a month.

Questions, answered properly
I have wanted this gone for years but I am scared of the scar. What is realistic?
A small flat mole leaves a pink dot that fades to nothing over a few months. A raised or deep mole leaves a faint pale dot or slight dip, less visible than the mole was. The two things that decide it are stopping at the base, which is the doctor's hand, and a month of sunscreen on the spot, which is yours. At Boom Dermatology we show you photos of healed spots before you decide.
How do I know it is not something that needs checking first?
You do not have to; the doctor checks every lesion with a dermatoscope before removal, included in the price. Anything with irregular colour, an uneven border, a recent change or bleeding is examined properly or referred for histology rather than lasered off. A lesion that needs a pathologist should never be vaporised, and we will say so plainly.
Will it grow back?
Rarely, when the base is reached. A mole removed too shallow, to avoid a mark, can regrow and is the common reason for a second visit after removal elsewhere. Ours are taken to the base; a regrowth within a year is retreated without charge at our Seomyeon skin clinic.
I have twelve of them. Can they all come off in one visit?
Yes, after each has been checked. A dozen small lesions is a routine visit of under an hour; the price is twelve times the per-lesion rate, agreed before the first pulse.
I fly home in four days. Will there still be a scab?
Yes; scabs last five to ten days and they travel. Fly the same evening if you like; keep them dry for the first day, ointment after, no picking in the cabin. Patients at Boom Dermatology in Busan on short trips book removal on day one and go home with the scabs covered.
