Eyebrow & Eyelid Mole Laser Removal Sydney – Case Studies
Moles around the eyes require a high level of precision and experience. The delicate anatomy of the eyelids and eyebrows means that careful diagnosis, appropriate laser selection and meticulous treatment technique are essential for achieving the best cosmetic outcome while protecting the eye.
At Cosmetic Laser Sydney, all laser mole removal procedures are personally performed by Dr Peter Kim, who has over 20 years of experience and has performed more than 10,000 cosmetic laser procedures, including many involving delicate areas around the eyes.
Before and After Laser Eyelid Mole Removal
Case Study – Mole near Eyelashes or Eyelid Margin Mole Removal
This patient presented with a large benign mole located on the eyelid margin close to the eyelashes. Because of its location, careful assessment and meticulous treatment planning were required.
Step 1 – Assessment
The first priority is to assess the mole to determine whether it appears suitable for laser treatment. Any lesion with suspicious features may require biopsy or referral rather than cosmetic laser treatment.
Step 2 – Eye Protection
As the treatment is performed close to the eye, local anaesthetic eye drops are first administered. A specialised protective corneal eye shield is then inserted to protect the surface of the eye throughout the procedure.
Step 3 – Local Anaesthetic
Local anaesthetic is injected around the mole to ensure the procedure is as comfortable as possible.
Step 4 – Precision CO₂ Laser Removal
The mole is then carefully removed using a CO₂ laser. The laser allows precise removal of the lesion while minimising damage to the surrounding tissue, which is particularly important in the delicate eyelid margin.
Healing
The treated area usually heals over approximately one week. Most patients experience only a small superficial wound during healing. The final cosmetic result depends on the size and depth of the mole, its location and individual healing characteristics.
Typical Cost
- Consultation: $105 (a Medicare rebate may be available for eligible patients)
- Average-sized eyelid mole: Approximately $500
- Larger or multiple eyelid moles: From $750

Laser Versus Surgical Removal
For carefully selected benign eyelid moles, laser treatment may provide an excellent cosmetic option. Compared with surgical excision, laser treatment may avoid stitches in suitable cases and can often be performed as an outpatient procedure under local anaesthetic. However, not every eyelid mole is suitable for laser treatment, and the most appropriate treatment will depend on the individual lesion.
Here is another example of mole in the eyelid margin removed with laser.
Case Study – Eyebrow and Lower Eyelid Mole Removal
This patient presented with two benign moles: one located within the eyebrow and another on the lower eyelid. Because both moles were located close to the eye, careful treatment planning and appropriate eye protection were essential.
Following local anaesthesia, both moles were carefully treated using a precision CO₂ laser. The patient underwent a total of three treatment sessions, spaced one month apart, to gradually remove the moles while achieving the best possible cosmetic outcome.
The photographs below demonstrate the progressive improvement following treatment.
Typical cost: Approximately $750 for treatment of these two moles. The final cost depends on the size, location and number of moles, as well as the number of treatment sessions required.
Case Study – Mole at the Inner Corner of the Eye
This patient presented with a large benign mole located at the inner corner of the eye. Due to its close proximity to the eye, careful treatment planning and appropriate eye protection were essential.
Following local anaesthesia, the mole was carefully removed using a precision CO₂ laser. The patient required two treatment sessions, performed one month apart, to achieve the best cosmetic result.
Because of the size and depth of the mole, a small residual scar remains. This is an expected possibility when treating larger moles, regardless of the treatment method. However, in most cases the cosmetic appearance is significantly improved compared with the original mole.
The patient was very pleased with the final outcome and felt that the improvement in appearance far outweighed the small residual scar.
Case Study – Pigmented Mole on the Lower Eyelid Margin
This patient presented with a pigmented mole on the lower eyelid margin. Because of its location close to the eye, the patient was initially referred by an optometrist to an eye surgeon for removal.
Following careful assessment, Dr Peter Kim determined that the lesion appeared to be a benign mole suitable for laser treatment. The procedure was performed on the same day under local anaesthesia using a precision CO₂ laser.
To ensure patient safety, local anaesthetic eye drops were administered and a specialised corneal eye shield was inserted to protect the eye throughout the procedure. The mole was then carefully removed using the CO₂ laser with meticulous attention to preserving the surrounding eyelid tissue.
For carefully selected benign eyelid moles such as this, laser treatment may provide an effective alternative to surgical excision. It can often be performed as an outpatient procedure under local anaesthetic, potentially avoiding stitches and reducing treatment costs compared with more invasive surgical approaches. However, not every eyelid lesion is suitable for laser treatment, and each case requires an individual assessment.
The patient was pleased to have the mole treated on the same day without the need for a more invasive procedure.
The cost was $750.
Case Study – Large Eyebrow Mole Removal
This patient presented with a large benign mole located within the eyebrow. Because of its size, the patient was advised that more than one treatment session would likely be required to achieve the best cosmetic outcome.
Following local anaesthesia, the mole was carefully treated using a precision CO₂ laser. The patient underwent two treatment sessions, spaced one month apart, resulting in significant cosmetic improvement.
The typical cost for treatment of a large eyebrow mole such as this is approximately $750. The final cost depends on the size and depth of the mole and the number of treatment sessions required.
The photographs below demonstrate the cosmetic improvement achieved following laser treatment.
Can Moles Around the Eye Be Removed?
Many benign moles around the eyes can be treated successfully with laser.
Every lesion is first carefully assessed to determine whether laser treatment is appropriate. Some lesions are more suitable for surgical removal or biopsy depending on their appearance.
Why Experience Matters
The skin around the eyes is among the thinnest and most delicate on the body.
Treatment requires consideration of:
- Protection of the eyes during laser treatment
- Preservation of the eyelid margin
- Cosmetic appearance
- Minimising visible scarring
- Treatment close to eyelashes and eyebrows
Appropriate eye protection is used whenever required during treatment.
Eyebrow Mole Removal
Eyebrow moles are a common cosmetic concern.
Laser treatment may be suitable for selected benign eyebrow moles while preserving the natural appearance of the eyebrow.
Larger eyebrow moles sometimes require two or more treatment sessions to achieve the best cosmetic result.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a mole?
A mole (melanocytic naevus) is a common skin growth caused by clusters of pigment-producing cells within the skin.
Moles can be:
• Flat or raised
• Skin-coloured, brown or black
• Small or large
• Present from birth or develop later in life
Most moles are harmless, although some may change over time.
Can moles be removed with laser treatment?
Yes.
Many benign moles can be safely removed using laser treatment.
Laser mole removal is particularly useful for selected facial moles and cosmetic lesions where a good cosmetic outcome is important.
Not all moles are suitable for laser treatment, which is why an assessment is required before treatment.
Are all moles suitable for laser removal?
No.
Some moles are better treated with surgical excision, while others may require biopsy or further medical assessment.
Every lesion is personally assessed by Dr Peter Kim before treatment recommendations are made.
Patient safety and accurate diagnosis always come first.
Why is medical assessment important before mole removal?
Many skin lesions can resemble moles.
Examples include:
• Seborrhoeic keratoses (age warts)
• Fibrous papules
• Sebaceous hyperplasia
• Skin tags
• Pigmented lesions
• Certain skin cancers
Correct diagnosis is one of the most important factors in achieving a good cosmetic outcome and ensuring appropriate treatment.
Why choose laser instead of surgery?
In suitable patients, laser treatment may offer:
• No stitches
• Less bleeding
• Faster healing
• Excellent cosmetic outcomes
• Minimal downtime
• Treatment of multiple lesions during the same session
However, some lesions are more appropriately managed with surgery. This will be discussed during consultation.
How does laser mole removal work?
Laser treatment carefully removes the mole layer by layer using precisely controlled laser energy.
The laser vaporises the unwanted tissue while minimising damage to surrounding skin.
Treatment settings are adjusted according to:
• Mole size
• Mole depth
• Mole location
• Pigmentation
• Skin type
How many treatments will I need?
Many raised moles can be treated in a single session.
Pigmented moles and deeper lesions often require multiple treatments.
The number of treatments depends on:
• Mole size
• Mole depth
• Pigmentation
• Skin type
• Individual healing response
A personalised treatment plan will be discussed during consultation.
Will there be a scar?
Any treatment that removes a mole can potentially leave some degree of scarring.
Our laser techniques are designed to achieve the best possible cosmetic outcome while minimising visible scarring.
Healing varies between individuals and depends on the size, depth and location of the lesion.
Is laser mole removal painful?
Most patients tolerate treatment very well.
Depending on the lesion being treated, local anaesthetic may be used to maximise comfort.
Once the area is numb, most patients experience little to no discomfort during the procedure.
What is the recovery time?
Following treatment, the area usually forms a small superficial wound.
Patients may experience:
• Mild redness
• Crusting
• Temporary pigmentation changes
• Mild swelling
Healing usually occurs over several days to weeks depending on the size and location of the lesion.
Can moles grow back after laser treatment?
Most treated moles do not return.
However, some deeper moles may recur because pigment cells can extend beneath the visible portion of the lesion.
Pigmented moles are more likely to require additional treatment than small raised skin-coloured moles.
Is laser mole removal safe for Asian and ethnic skin?
Yes.
Asian and ethnic skin often contains higher levels of melanin and may be more prone to pigmentation changes after treatment.
Dr Peter Kim has over 20 years of experience treating Caucasian, Asian and ethnic skin and carefully adjusts treatment settings according to skin type.
Many of our mole removal patients have Asian skin types.
Why is experience important in mole removal?
Successful mole removal depends on:
• Accurate diagnosis
• Appropriate treatment selection
• Correct laser settings
• Understanding of wound healing
• Experience treating different skin types
Dr Peter Kim has over 20 years of experience in cosmetic and dermatological laser medicine and has personally performed more than 10,000 laser procedures.
All treatments are personally performed by Dr Peter Kim.
What are the possible risks and complications?
Laser mole removal is generally very safe when performed by an experienced doctor.
Potential risks include:
• Temporary redness
• Hyperpigmentation
• Hypopigmentation
• Delayed healing
• Infection (rare)
• Scarring (rare)
• Mole recurrence
These risks vary according to the type and location of the lesion.
How much does laser mole removal cost?
The cost of laser mole removal depends on:
• The type of mole
• The size and location of the mole
• Whether underlying pigmentation is present
• The number of treatment sessions required
As a general guide:
💰 Single mole removal: approximately $500
