Mole Removal

Mole Removal: Expert Evaluation and Safe Treatment

Moles (nevi) are extremely common skin growths that most people develop throughout their lives. While the majority are harmless, some moles may require removal for cosmetic reasons or medical concerns. Our experienced dermatologists provide thorough evaluation and safe removal with optimal aesthetic outcomes.

When to Consider Mole Removal

Medical Reasons:

• The mole is changing in size, shape, or color
• Irregular or asymmetric borders
• Multiple colors within the mole
• Diameter larger than 6mm
• Evolving appearance over time (ABCDE criteria)

Cosmetic Reasons:

• Prominent moles on visible areas
• Raised moles that catch on clothing or jewelry
• Moles affecting self-confidence

Our Removal Techniques

Surgical Excision - The mole is cut out along with a margin of healthy tissue. Ideal for deeper moles or those requiring pathological examination.

Shave Excision - The mole is shaved off at skin level. Best for raised moles with excellent cosmetic results.

Radiofrequency Removal - Precise removal using radio waves that minimize tissue damage and scarring.

Laser Excision - Advanced laser technology for specific mole types, offering precision and faster healing.

The Mole Removal Process

1. Consultation - Thorough examination using dermoscopy to assess the mole’s characteristics
2. Treatment Planning - Selection of the optimal removal technique based on mole type and location
3. Procedure - Pain-free removal under local anesthesia
4. Pathology - Tissue sent for microscopic examination when indicated
5. Aftercare - Detailed wound care instructions for optimal healing

What to Expect

During Treatment: The area is numbed with local anesthetic. You’ll feel pressure but no pain. Immediately After: A small bandage covers the site. Mild tenderness is normal. Healing Time: 7-14 days depending on size and technique used. Final Results: Any initial redness fades over several months, leaving minimal scarring.
