Mole Check: Expert Evaluation for Skin Health

Regular mole checks are crucial in identifying any changes in existing moles or detecting new ones. Our dermatologists perform thorough examinations to assess moles for signs of irregularity, asymmetry, color variations, and changes in size or shape. Early detection is key in identifying any potential concerns.

When is Mole Removal Recommended?

Mole removal may be recommended for various reasons, including:

Cosmetic Concerns: If a mole is aesthetically bothersome or in a prominent location, removal can be performed for cosmetic reasons.
Suspicious Characteristics: Moles that exhibit irregularities, rapid growth, changes in color, or other concerning features may be recommended for removal.
Practical Reasons: Moles in areas prone to irritation from clothing or frequent friction may be considered for removal.
Medical Necessity: In some cases, a dermatologist may recommend removal for medical reasons, such as if a mole is at risk of becoming cancerous.

Safe and Effective Mole Removal Procedures

Our dermatologist utilizes advanced techniques to ensure safe and effective mole removal. The procedure is typically performed using local anesthesia to minimize discomfort. Depending on the size, location, and characteristics of the mole, removal methods may include:

Excision: This involves cutting out the mole and stitching the wound closed. This method is suitable for larger or raised moles.
Shave Excision: A flat mole can be shaved off at skin level, leaving a minimal scar.
Laser Removal: Certain types of moles can be targeted and removed using laser technology.

Post-Removal Care and Monitoring

After mole removal, our dermatologists provide detailed instructions for wound care and follow-up appointments to monitor healing and ensure optimal results. Any removed moles will typically be sent for laboratory analysis to rule out any potential concerns.
