MOLE REMOVAL
Mole Removal - Safe, Simple, and Effective
Moles are common skin growths that most people develop at some point in their lives. They can vary in size, shape, and color, and often appear during childhood or early adulthood. While many moles are completely harmless and require no treatment, some individuals may choose to have them removed for cosmetic reasons—especially if the mole is large, raised, or located in a prominent area such as the face or neck. In other cases, a mole may change in appearance over time, becoming irregular in shape, changing color, or growing in size, which could indicate a potential health concern such as melanoma or other forms of skin cancer.
At our clinic, we offer expert mole evaluation and professional removal services using the latest techniques that are both safe and minimally invasive. Whether you’re seeking removal for aesthetic enhancement or medical necessity, our dermatology team ensures that the procedure is tailored to your specific needs, with a focus on comfort, safety, and minimal scarring. All suspicious moles are carefully examined, and if necessary, sent for laboratory analysis to rule out any underlying health issues. Your skin’s health and appearance are our priority, and we’re here to provide peace of mind along with excellent cosmetic outcomes.
Why Consider Mole Removal?
There are several reasons you might consider having a mole removed:
-
✅ Cosmetic concerns — moles in visible areas like the face or neck
-
✅ Discomfort — moles that rub against clothing or get irritated
-
✅ Changes in appearance — moles that grow, change shape, or color
-
✅ Skin cancer screening — suspicious or atypical moles
Our dermatology team evaluates each mole carefully to determine whether removal is recommended and which method is most appropriate.
Types of Mole Removal Procedures
Depending on the size, type, and location of the mole, we may recommend:
-
Surgical Excision: The mole is carefully cut out, often with stitches to aid healing. Ideal for deeper or potentially concerning moles.
-
Shave Removal: The mole is shaved down to skin level. Best for raised moles that are not suspected of being cancerous.
-
Laser Removal (in select cases): Laser technology can fade or remove some types of flat or pigmented moles.
All procedures are performed under local anesthesia for your comfort.
Is Mole Removal Painful?
Mole removal is a quick and minimally invasive procedure. Most patients report little to no pain during the process. You may feel mild soreness afterward, similar to a small scrape or cut, but this typically resolves within a few days.
What to Expect After Mole Removal
-
Mild redness, swelling, or scabbing is normal
-
Healing time is usually 1–2 weeks, depending on the method used
-
You’ll receive personalized aftercare instructions
-
Scarring is generally minimal and fades over time
-
Removed tissue may be sent to a lab for biopsy if needed
When to See a Dermatologist
It’s important to monitor moles for any changes. You should book a professional evaluation if a mole:
-
Becomes larger or changes shape
-
Develops uneven or blurred borders
-
Changes color or becomes darker
-
Starts to itch, bleed, or crust
-
Appears suddenly in adulthood
These could be warning signs of melanoma or other skin conditions, and early evaluation is key.
