Overview

What Is Pigmentation, Mole & Spot Removal?

A customized treatment for various pigmented and skin lesions visible on the surface, such as moles, spots, melasma, warts, and milia, based on each skin condition.

Differentiating Pigment Types

Moles, spots, melasma, warts, and milia differ in cause, depth, and treatment method.

Triple Laser Combination

CO2, 532 nm, and Er:YAG lasers are selected according to each lesion’s color, depth, and location.

Regeneration Care Included

After pigment removal, we guide scab care, pigmentation prevention, moisturization, and sun protection.

Different Depth, Different Care

Pigment treatment begins not with removal, but with accurate differentiation.

Even if lesions look similar on the surface, the required laser, treatment depth, and recovery process may vary depending on whether they are moles, spots, melasma, warts, or milia. At MITAM, we treat delicately in a way that supports skin recovery rather than simply applying stronger energy.

Pigment Difference

Simple Comparison by Pigment Type

Based on the reference table provided, this summarizes only the key differences. The actual diagnosis may vary after examining your skin condition.

Category Mole Spot Melasma Wart Milia
Characteristics Small, round lesions caused by proliferation of melanin cells Pigment caused by excessive melanin deposition from UV exposure, inflammation, and other factors Broad brown patches with widely distributed melanin Raised lesions caused by skin overgrowth from HPV infection Small cysts formed when sebum or keratin becomes trapped under the skin
Cause Increase in melanin cells UV exposure, inflammation, hormones, irritation, etc. UV exposure, hormones, genetic factors, etc. HPV infection Sebum/keratin buildup or clogged pores
Shape / Color Small, round, brown to dark brown Irregular brown to dark brown patches Symmetrical broad brown patches Rough, raised, skin-colored to brown Small white dome-shaped bumps
Location / Depth Epidermal-dermal junction or dermis Mainly melanin deposition in the epidermis Widely distributed from epidermis to upper dermis Epidermal overgrowth lesion Keratin/sebum cyst within the epidermis

A Basic Pigment Treatment Matched to Mole Size and Depth

Mole removal is a laser treatment that removes moles on the face or body. The method and recovery process may vary depending on the mole’s depth, size, color, and location, and deep or recurrent moles may require multiple sessions.

  • Those whose skin looks less clear due to multiple facial moles
  • Those concerned about moles that are not easily covered with makeup
  • Those who have experienced recurrence after mole removal
  • Those who want to treat small or multiple moles together

For Difficult Pigmentation, Delicate Care Matters More Than Strong Treatment

Unlike simple spots, melasma can be related to multiple factors such as hormones, UV exposure, inflammation, and skin barrier condition. Treating it too aggressively may make it darker or more sensitive, so a delicate plan tailored to the skin condition is important.

Recommended combination: Laser Toning · Yellow Laser · Long Pulse · Brightening Care · Peeling · Regeneration Care
  • Those concerned about melasma around the cheekbones or cheeks
  • Those whose pigmentation repeatedly darkens
  • Those with sensitive skin who are worried about strong laser treatments
  • Those who want both brightening and improved skin condition

A Treatment for Uneven, Blotchy Skin Tone

Spots appear as brown pigmentation on the skin surface due to UV exposure, aging, or post-inflammatory pigmentation. Since they can overlap with melasma, accurate differentiation is needed before selecting treatments such as 532 nm laser, toning, long pulse, or yellow laser.

  • Those with increasing spots on the cheeks, cheekbones, or forehead
  • Those with uneven-looking skin tone
  • Those whose pigmentation became darker after sun exposure
  • Those who want a more even skin tone

A Lesion That Needs to Be Differentiated from Moles and Milia

Warts are raised, bumpy lesions on the skin surface and may be confused with moles or milia. The removal method can vary depending on type, depth, and location, and recurrence should be considered in some cases.

  • Those with bumpy lesions on the face or neck
  • Those unsure whether a lesion is a mole or a wart
  • Those bothered by lesions when applying makeup or cleansing
  • Those who want to neatly remove surface skin lesions

Safely Removing Small White Bumps

Milia appear as small white or yellowish bumps under the skin and commonly occur around the eyes. Trying to squeeze or remove them at home may leave wounds or pigmentation, so delicate removal based on size and location is important.

  • Those with small white bumps around the eyes or cheeks
  • Those who feel uncomfortable squeezing milia at home
  • Those who want lesion removal with minimal skin damage
  • Those who want to smooth bumpy skin texture

MITAM’s Pigment Removal System

Triple Laser is a customized laser treatment that combines CO2 laser, 532 nm laser, and Er:YAG laser according to the characteristics of each pigment or lesion. Different lesions such as moles, spots, warts, and milia may require different laser depths and approaches.

CO2 Laser: Removal of surface lesions such as moles, warts, and milia
532 nm Laser: Treatment of epidermal pigmentation and spots
Er:YAG Laser: Precise surface lesion removal with a focus on minimizing skin damage
  • Those with moles, spots, warts, and milia together
  • Those with various lesion types that may not be treated adequately with one laser alone
  • Those who want laser treatment customized to each pigment type
  • Those who want to treat multiple lesions together

Care for Sensitive Pigmentation and Redness Together

Yellow Laser can address pigmentation, redness, and uneven skin tone together. When melasma, spots, redness, and dull tone coexist, it can help improve tone and pigmentation without overly irritating the skin.

  • Those concerned about both melasma and spots
  • Those with reddish, sensitive skin
  • Those who want to manage dull tone and pigmentation together
  • Those who feel burdened by stronger lasers

A Combination for Overall Tone and Localized Pigmentation

Both Yellow Laser + Pigment Removal is a combination that may be considered when you want to improve overall tone concerns such as redness, dullness, and melasma-like pigmentation while also treating noticeable spots or lesions.

Recommended for: Skin with melasma, spots, and redness together; skin that needs both overall tone care and localized pigment treatment.
  • Those with overall dullness and visible spots
  • Those with mixed melasma and spots who feel burdened by strong lasers
  • Those who want pigment removal and tone improvement together

Overall Tone and Glow Care

The Snow White Course is a brightening care course for those whose skin tone looks dull or dark. Rather than removing specific pigmented lesions, it focuses on overall tone, glow, and a clearer impression, and may include toning, brightening care, and soothing care depending on skin condition.

  • Those whose skin tone looks dull or dark
  • Those who want overall brightening care
  • Those who want clearer-looking skin before an important event
  • Those more concerned about tone improvement than specific pigmentation

Consistent Brightening and Pigment Care

Laser Toning is a representative brightening laser that gently manages pigmentation through repeated sessions. It can be used for pigment concerns that need consistent care rather than one strong treatment, such as melasma, spots, and dull tone.

Depending on the skin condition, it may be combined with Yellow Laser, Long Pulse, and brightening care.
  • Those who want consistent care for melasma and pigmentation
  • Those with dull, uneven skin tone
  • Those who prefer gentle brightening care over strong pigment removal
  • Those concerned about recurrent pigmentation

For Pigmentation, Redness, and Skin Tone

Long Pulse is a laser that can consider pigmentation, redness, and tone improvement depending on skin condition. It can be performed alone or combined with Laser Toning, Yellow Laser, peeling, and brightening care to manage overall tone and skin condition.

  • Those concerned about pigmentation and redness together
  • Those with uneven skin tone
  • Those who want combined brightening care with Laser Toning
  • Those who want to improve both skin tone and texture

FAQ

FAQ

No. Even if they look similar on the surface, moles, spots, and melasma can differ in cause, depth, and treatment method. Accurate differentiation is important for proper treatment.
Small and shallow moles may fade significantly after one treatment, but deep or recurrent moles may require multiple sessions. The recovery process may also vary depending on the mole’s depth and size.
Melasma does not necessarily improve faster with stronger treatment. If the skin is sensitive or inflammation occurs, it may become darker, so gentle, consistent care suited to the skin condition is important.
Scabs or flaking may occur after mole, spot, wart, or milia removal. Scabs should not be picked off and should be allowed to fall off naturally to reduce the risk of pigmentation or scarring.
Pigmentation may reappear depending on UV exposure, skin irritation, hormones, and individual tendency. Especially for melasma or spots, sun protection and consistent care remain important even after treatment.
Depending on skin condition and lesion type, multiple pigments may be treated together. However, if pigment type and depth differ, the laser and treatment intensity may also vary, so it is best to determine the appropriate range after consultation.

Post-Treatment Precautions

  • Do not pick off scabs or flaking skin after treatment.
  • Apply sunscreen carefully and consistently.
  • Keep the skin well moisturized, as it may become dry.
  • Avoid alcohol, sauna, and strenuous exercise on the day of treatment.
  • Do not rub or strongly irritate the treated area.
  • Use regeneration cream as instructed.
  • After scabs fall off, the new skin may be sensitive, so avoid UV exposure and friction.
  • Contact the clinic if redness, oozing, pain, or suspected inflammation persists.

For clearer skin,
stronger laser treatment is not always the answer.

MITAM differentiates moles, spots, melasma, warts, and milia, then guides the right laser and care direction for your skin condition. We treat delicately so the skin can recover while addressing pigmentation accurately.
