“I got laser treatment, but it came back.” This concern is common.
The cause is often not simply about intensity, but about failing to accurately assess the type and root (depth).
Mitam designs laser combinations and settings based on type, depth, area, and skin response.
The more you worry about recurrence/scars/PIH, the more “planning” matters
Moles and pigmentation are often not caused by a single factor—skin response, type, depth, and area can overlap. That’s why, rather than “finishing in one session,” it can be more important to set a safe, well-designed plan.

“Depth diagnosis” determines outcomes
A mole isn’t just a surface stain—there may be remaining cells (nevus cells) deeper in the skin like roots. If only the surface is treated, it can come back over time. That’s why Mitam checks type, depth, area, and skin response before thinking about “strength”.
| Type | Features | Depth |
|---|---|---|
| Junctional nevus | Flat; borders are relatively clear | Epidermis–dermis junction |
| Compound nevus | Slightly raised; tends to be darker | Epidermis to dermis |
| Intradermal nevus | Slightly raised; tends to be lighter | Deep dermal layer |
Before “laser combinations,” diagnosis comes first
We design “depth-based customization” using a CO2 + Er:YAG + Nd:YAG (532/1064) combination.
Based on Director Kim Gwangtae’s 20+ years of procedure experience,
we plan by depth, area, and skin response—not “stronger no matter what.”
With a cumulative total of 500,000 pigmentation/mole cases,
we take a safe approach considering both recurrence potential and scar risk.
Even for similar-looking moles/pigmentation, the laser differs when the type differs.
At Mitam, we proceed in the order of Diagnosis → Planning → Laser selection.
We prioritize minimizing skin damage over overly aggressive treatment.
Only the necessary areas, with necessary settings—considering recovery as well.
| Laser | Mechanism | Features/Indications |
|---|---|---|
| CO2 | Vaporizes water via thermal energy | Precise removal; widely used for mole/lesion treatment with recovery-friendly characteristics |
| Er:YAG | Precisely ablates skin layers | Good for delicate treatment; outcomes may vary depending on expertise |
| Nd:YAG 532nm | Targets superficial pigment | Helps with freckles/sunspots/solar lentigines and other surface pigments |
| Nd:YAG 1064nm | Targets deeper melanin | Approaches melasma/PIH and deeper melanin with a toning method |
Only what you’re worried about—short and clear
Not exaggerated—phrases we often hear in real consultations
“I was worried about marks, but it cleared up more neatly than I expected.”
Results may vary depending on individual differences and treatment plan.“Looking at the before-and-after photos, the impression changed so much.”
Differences may occur depending on consistent photo conditions and aftercare.“I was worried it would come back, but they explained aftercare in detail too.”
Pigmentation may recur depending on lifestyle and skin response, so aftercare is important.Connect instantly in the way you prefer
