We are a dedicated cosmetic and dermatological laser clinic in Sydney, providing advanced laser treatments for mole removal.
Laser mole removal is one of the most commonly requested cosmetic laser procedures by people of all ages and skin types. We treat all skin types, including Anglo, Asian, and ethnic skin.
All consultations and treatments are personally performed by Dr Peter Kim.
We treat all skin types, including Anglo, Asian, and ethnic skin.
Each additional mole treated during the same visit is from $195. Please note: the above fees are a guide only. The final treatment fee depends on the size, location, number and complexity of the mole(s). Dr Peter Kim will examine your mole(s) and provide an exact quotation during your consultation before any treatment is performed.
A consultation with Dr Peter Kim is $105. A Medicare rebate may apply if the consultation is medically indicated. If you decide to proceed with treatment on the same day, the consultation and laser treatment can usually be completed in a single visit.
Larger moles on the forehead can be a prominent cosmetic concern, but laser removal can still be a very effective option.
This patient had a large mole on the forehead removed using our laser mole removal technique. Given its size, two sessions were needed to achieve full clearance, allowing the treatment to progress gradually and safely rather than being overly aggressive in a single sitting.
This staged approach helps minimise the risk of scarring while still achieving a thorough, satisfying result.
All consultations and laser treatments are personally performed by Dr Peter Kim.
Eyelid margin moles can be particularly challenging to remove.
Because these lesions are located very close to the eye, successful treatment requires precise laser control, careful technique and appropriate eye protection throughout the procedure.
In many cases, laser treatment offers an excellent alternative to surgery. Surgical removal can be more invasive, may require stitches and can potentially leave a visible scar. Laser treatment can often achieve an excellent cosmetic outcome with minimal downtime.
This photograph was taken immediately after laser mole removal. The procedure took approximately 2 minutes to perform.
Patient safety is our highest priority. Because treatment is performed close to the eye, special protective measures are always used to protect the eye before the laser procedure begins.
Oral moles can be concerning, particularly when they gradually increase in size.
This patient presented with a mole on the inside of the mouth that had been slowly enlarging over time and wished to have it removed.
For suitable benign oral lesions, laser treatment is often an excellent alternative to conventional surgery. The procedure is quick, precise and usually completed in a single treatment session.
Benefits of laser treatment may include:
The photograph demonstrates the immediate result following laser removal.
All lesions are carefully assessed before treatment to ensure the most appropriate management is recommended. All procedures are personally performed by Dr Peter Kim.
This patient presented wanting to remove what she thought was a mole on her right upper lip. On examination, the lesion was found to be a skin wart (seborrhoeic keratosis) rather than a mole.
The lesion was removed in a single treatment using our advanced CO₂ laser technique. These photos were taken 6 weeks after treatment.
There is still a small amount of redness at the treatment site, which is a normal part of the healing process. This will continue to fade over the coming weeks, and in most patients the final scar is barely perceptible.
Every skin lesion should be carefully assessed before treatment, as not every raised lesion is a mole. Accurate diagnosis helps determine the most appropriate treatment and expected cosmetic outcome.

Most patients tolerate treatment very well.
Depending on the lesion being treated, local anaesthetic may be used to maximise comfort.

Following treatment, the area usually forms a small superficial wound.
Patients may experience:
Healing usually occurs over several days to weeks depending on the size and location of the lesion.
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.
