Area of Concern

MOLE REMOVAL

Prior to any decision made about mole removal, a trained dermatologist should be consulted to examine all moles and ensure they are harmless before treatment is carried out. Laser treatment should not be used to treat any suspicious moles. Benign moles however can be treated with lasers for cosmetic removal. Surgical removal is sometimes also used to remove harmless moles. If the mole is however deemed suspicious and requires further evaluation, your dermatologist will usually suggest a surgical removal and will send it for further histological examination.

The different treatment options for mole removal will be discussed in detail with you and a decision can be made based on the location, type of mole and patient preference.

Treatment Options for Mole Removal

Both laser and surgery can be used to remove moles for cosmetic reasons. Laser involves the use of laser light to target and remove the mole cells. Surgery involves cutting out the mole, closing the wound with fine stitches, with the end result being a small scar that fades over time.

For flat moles, our pigment laser has been used to successfully remove them without scarring in a large majority of patients. Most flat brown moles will require 1-2 treatments. This can be done as a simple, quick procedure in less than 5 minutes.

For raised moles, either laser or surgical removal can be performed. The advantage of a surgical approach is that recurrence is very rare as the entire mole including the deeper component is excised. However, there will be a linear scar. Lasers can also be used to remove raised moles safely and effectively. Depending on whether the moles are flesh coloured or pigmented, one or a combination of two different lasers may be required.

With our range of lasers and surgical facilities, we are able to remove moles effectively and safely on the same day. A thorough assessment and discussion is essential prior to you making your decision.
