Moles are common skin growths that typically appear during childhood or early adulthood. While most moles are harmless, some may become bothersome, unsightly, or change in appearance, which could be a sign of potential health concerns. Our clinic offers safe, effective, and minimally invasive mole removal treatments that prioritize your comfort and skin health.
Treatment Options:
- Surgical Excision: Surgical excision is a highly effective method for mole removal, especially for larger or deeper moles. During this procedure, the mole is carefully cut out along with a small margin of surrounding tissue to ensure complete removal. The area is then stitched up, and the wound typically heals with minimal scarring.
- Shave Removal: Shave removal is commonly used for raised moles. In this procedure, a small, sterile blade is used to shave off the mole from the surface of the skin. This method is quick, requires minimal downtime, and leaves a smaller scar compared to excision, making it ideal for certain types of moles.
- Laser Removal: Laser treatment uses focused light to target and break down the mole’s pigment. This method is non-invasive and ideal for small, flat moles that do not penetrate deeply into the skin. Laser mole removal is particularly effective for cosmetic purposes, offering minimal scarring.
- Cryotherapy (Freezing): Cryotherapy involves using liquid nitrogen to freeze and destroy the mole’s tissue. It is typically used for non-cancerous, superficial moles. The treatment may require several sessions, and the mole will eventually fall off as the skin heals.
