We all want to believe that modern medicine can perform miracles for us. Although lasers are effective for many superficial skin conditions, they cannot be used to erase a pigmented nevus.

Lasers can destroy nevus cells near the top layer of the skin. However, there is a risk of scarring the skin if a laser is used to destroy the deeper nevus cells. Laser treatment has been reported to be effective by some people. Some patients report initial success only to have the nevus reappear. Some patients report success because the nevus has lightened, but it is still visible. Others have reported poor outcomes. There appears to be no consistency in reports or treatment methods, implying that there is no solution.

Laser technology and precision are constantly improving. Lasers have a valuable role to play in easy removal from nevi and improving scars after nevus excision. Because large and giant nevi are so uncommon, most experienced laser professionals will have some expertise with pigmented lesions (acquired moles, freckles, and age spots).

If you are considering laser treatment, you should consult with a board-certified dermatologist or plastic surgeon who specializes in laser treatments. You should inquire about their experience treating congenital nevi and the outcomes they have achieved.
