Clear, Confident Skin with Precision Laser Technology
At Olivo Med Spa, we understand that even a small mole or sunspot can impact your confidence. Located in the heart of Logan Square, our Chicago clinic offers non-invasive laser mole removal. A modern, scar-free alternative to traditional surgical excision. Under the medical direction of Dr. Jacqueline Olivo, we combine advanced laser technology with expert clinical care to help you achieve a smoother, clearer complexion.
How Laser Mole Removal Works
Unlike surgical methods that require stitches, laser mole removal uses concentrated light energy to target the pigment within the mole.
-
Precision Targeting: The laser light is absorbed only by the dark pigment (melanin) of the mole, leaving the surrounding healthy skin untouched.
-
Natural Elimination: The laser breaks the pigment into microscopic particles that your body’s lymphatic system naturally carries away during the healing process.
-
Healing Window: Most flat moles and sunspots seem to "fall off" or fade within 4-7 days after the procedure.
hat Types of Moles Can Be Treated?
While many moles are cosmetic concerns, we prioritize your health first. Laser treatment is ideal for:
-
Flat Moles: Junctional nevi that are level with the skin surface.
-
Sunspots & Age Spots: Pigmentation caused by UV exposure.
-
Benign Moles: Moles that have been screened and cleared for removal.
Your Consultation & Skin Analysis
Every journey at Olivo Med Spa begins with a professional assessment. We use the OBSERV 520x skin scanner to look beneath the surface of your skin, identifying the depth of the pigment to determine if laser treatment is the safest and most effective route for you.
Step-by-Step: What to Expect
-
Safety Screening: Dr. Olivo or our senior aestheticians screen the mole for any irregular features (the ABCDEs of melanoma).
-
The Procedure: You will feel a quick, snapping sensation as the laser moves over the area. Most sessions take less than 15 minutes.
-
Immediate Aftercare: The area may darken immediately, this is a sign the pigment has successfully reacted to the laser.
-
Recovery: You can wear makeup the same day! We simply recommend high-SPF sunscreen for six weeks to protect the new, sensitive skin.
