Cosmetic Mole Removal

Any way to remove that mole?
Moles Removal Options
Having your moles removed usually means replacing them with some kind of scars, so the final decision (whether it's worthwhile or not) is up to you.

However, if a mole is suspected to be pre-cancerous or malignant, it will be necessary to have it removed. A specimen of the mole will then be sent to the laboratory for further examination.

  • Removing Raised Moles.
    For moles that are elevated above the surrounding skin, they can be removed via a minor surgery (to be performed by dermatologists only, do not try this yourself!)

    Procedure: The area is first injected with a small dose of local anaesthetic, then outlined with a marker pen. Then the mole is removed by literally shaving it off the skin with a sterile scalpel.
    Scar: The scar that is produced is usually flat and lighter in color than the rest of your skin, but sometimes the scar may be as pigmented as the original mole.

  • Removing Flat Moles.
    Flat moles are removed via excision biopsy.

    Procedure: The area is anaesthetized, then the entire mole is cut out (excised), followed by suturing of the resulting wound with stitches.
    Scar: The scar produced is usually a fine line.
