Mole Removal

Moles are a type of benign (noncancerous) skin growth that is usually dark in color, and can appear anywhere on the skin. They are typically small and round, but can vary in size, shape, and color. Moles can be congenital (present at birth) or acquired (develop later in life).

The best treatment options for moles will depend on the size, location, and type of the mole. Some of the treatment options include:

  • Surgical Excision: This involves cutting out the mole and stitching the skin closed. This method is usually done for larger moles or moles that are located in an area that is prone to irritation or injury.
  • Shave Excision: This involves cutting off the mole at the surface of the skin, leaving a small, flat scar. This method is usually done for smaller moles or those located in areas that are less visible.
  • Cryotherapy: This involves freezing off the mole with liquid nitrogen. This method is usually done for small moles or those located on the face or other visible areas.
  • Electrocautery: This involves burning off the mole with a hot electric needle. This method is usually done for small moles or those located on the face or other visible areas.
  • Laser Removal: This involves using laser energy to remove the mole. This method is usually done for small moles or those located on the face or other visible areas.
