Mole Removal

Overview: Mole removal is a medical procedure to remove moles (also known as nevi), which are common skin growths that vary in size, color, and shape. At Visage Polyclinic LLC, our experienced medical team provides safe and effective mole removal treatments to help you achieve smooth, healthy skin while ensuring that any concerning moles are carefully examined and removed.

What Are Moles? Moles are usually brown or black in color and can appear anywhere on the body. They form when skin cells (melanocytes) grow in clusters. Most moles are harmless, but some can develop into skin cancer over time. It is important to monitor your moles for any changes, such as size, shape, or color, as these could indicate a potential issue.

Reasons for Mole Removal:

• Cosmetic Concerns: Moles in visible areas such as the face, neck, or arms may cause cosmetic concerns, prompting patients to seek removal for aesthetic reasons.
• Changes in Appearance: If a mole changes in size, shape, color, or texture, it may require professional evaluation and removal to rule out any risks of skin cancer.
• Irritation: Moles that rub against clothing or jewelry can become irritated, causing discomfort or pain.
• Preventative Measures: If a mole has a suspicious appearance or if there is a family history of skin cancer, removal may be recommended as a precautionary measure.

What to Expect During Mole Removal:

1. Assessment: The doctor will evaluate the mole to determine if it is benign or if further tests are needed. If the mole appears suspicious, a biopsy may be recommended.
2. Anesthesia: Local anesthesia will be administered to ensure the patient’s comfort during the procedure.
3. Removal Procedure: The mole will be carefully removed using one of several methods, including excision (cutting it out) or shave removal (shaving off the mole), depending on its size and location.
4. Post-Procedure Care: After the mole is removed, the area will be cleaned and dressed, and the patient will receive instructions on how to care for the area to promote proper healing.

Benefits of Mole Removal:

• Aesthetic Improvement: Removal of moles in visible areas can help enhance the skin's appearance and provide a smoother, more uniform look.
• Early Detection of Skin Cancer: Mole removal allows for the early detection of potential skin cancer and ensures the safe removal of suspicious moles.
• Relief from Irritation: For moles that cause irritation or discomfort, removal provides relief and prevents further skin irritation.
• Peace of Mind: Mole removal can give patients peace of mind, knowing that any potentially harmful moles have been properly evaluated and removed.

Post-Treatment Care:

• Keep the area clean and dry, and avoid applying makeup or lotion to the wound for the first few days.
• Follow the doctor’s instructions for wound care to reduce the risk of infection and promote healing.
• Attend any scheduled follow-up appointments to monitor the healing process and remove any stitches, if necessary.
