Survey of 300: 73.7% Prioritize 'Minimal Scarring' in Mole Removal; Comparing Three Treatment Methods

Medical Corporation Tekketsu-kai conducted a survey of 300 individuals regarding mole removal. 73.7% of respondents prioritize 'minimal scarring' over recurrence rates. The report compares three methods: CO2 laser (best for moles <5mm), electrosurgery (5-10mm), and surgical excision (for large or suspicious moles). While laser treatment offers the most aesthetic results, excision has the lowest recurrence rate (<1%) and allows for pathological examination. Costs vary from 5,000 to 30,000 yen, with potential insurance coverage for medically necessary cases.
