Mole Removal

What Procedures are Involved?

• First, a dermatoscopy device is used to examine any abnormalities. Oil or gel is put on the area, and the handheld magnifying instrument is used. This helps the specialist diagnose and examine skin lesions.
• If abnormalities are found, procedures typically include surgical excision. The mole is cut out with a scalpel.
• Laser mole removal uses intense light to break down the tissue, used on superficial moles.
• Another common method is cryotherapy, employing extreme cold to freeze and remove the mole.

Who Needs This Treatment?

Individuals with moles that are suspicious, benefit from this treatment. If patients notice change in their mole’s size, shape or colour they should seek help. People experiencing discomfort or irritation from moles during daily activities also benefit. Anyone with a history of skin cancer should consider removal to prevent potential health risks. Those with moles in aesthetically sensitive areas often seek removal for cosmetic reasons. Also, candidates who look to remove moles for peace of mind, fearing they might become cancerous.

Mole Removal Recovery Time

Recovery time varies with the method used and mole’s size. For surgical excision, healing takes about two weeks. Stitches, if used, are typically removed within this period. Laser removal and cryotherapy often have quicker recovery times, usually a few days. Minor redness or swelling may occur but generally subsides quickly. Patients should follow aftercare instructions carefully to ensure proper healing. Avoiding direct sunlight on the treated area is crucial for preventing scars. Regular application of recommended ointments can aid in the healing process. Most people can return to normal activities almost immediately, barring heavy exertion.

How Much Does Mole Removal Cost?

Mole removal cost varies widely based on the procedure type, the mole's size, and location. In general, surgical excision tends to be more expensive due to the complexity. Laser removal and cryotherapy may offer more cost-effective solutions for smaller moles. Prices also differ from one clinic to another and depend on the surgeon's experience. Consultations can provide accurate price estimates tailored to individual needs.

Considerations After Mole Removal

After the procedure, it's vital to follow the care instructions provided by your healthcare provider. Keep the treated area clean and dry to prevent infection. Avoid exposing the site to direct sunlight; use sunscreen if going outdoors is necessary. Patients need to be aware of very small scarring on face mole removal. Minor swelling or bruising around the site is normal and should diminish over time. Watch for any signs of infection, like increased redness or unexpected pain, and report them. Attend all follow-up appointments to ensure proper healing and to discuss any concerns.
