Before your consultation
- Why do we check the points that have changed recently first?
- If it's a small spot, is it safe to be relieved?
- Will a scar form if a tissue biopsy is done?
General information, not a personal diagnosis or treatment plan. Suitability, risks and recovery require an individual consultation.
Why do we check the points that have changed recently first?
The academy guidance explains the examination of suspicious lesions and the necessary tissue tests. If you choose laser treatment immediately just because you don't like the spot, you may miss information needed for diagnosis. Prepare past photos and consult about when the change started.

If it's a small spot, is it safe to be relieved?
Benignness is not determined by size alone. Check whether the color is varied, whether the borders and shape have changed, and whether any symptoms have appeared. Even if the lesion is small, if there is a new change, inform your cosmetic consultation of this fact first.
Will a scar form if a tissue biopsy is done?
You should be informed about the examination method, wound care, and expected traces. Do not skip necessary diagnosis just because you want to avoid wounds. It is better to listen to the reasons for the test and the pros and cons of the removal method during consultation and then make your choice.
Is it okay to make an appointment for several spots at once?
Each lesion should not be considered the same type. Even if you remove multiple lesions, examine them by location and specifically mark those that have changed. The process of checking whether any points require a different evaluation is more important than discounts based on quantity.
What should I do if color appears again after removal?
Have a follow-up using the date and method of previous removal and the subsequent progress photos. Do not conclude that it was simply under-removed. You need to compare the records of the original lesion with the newly appearing form to determine the necessity of the next treatment.

When making a mole removal appointment in Daegu city, first mention any recent changes or bleeding. Refer to the Doctor Designer Daegu official mole removal guide, but the possibility of testing suspicious lesions and necessary referral routes should be confirmed during the consultation.
