Mole Removal
what is mole removal ...
While most moles are harmless, some may need to be removed if they look suspicious. At Me Clinic, we offer a range of procedures for mole removal, which are performed by cosmetic doctors and plastic surgeons. It’s important to note that every individual’s anatomy and situation is unique, and mole removal may not always be necessary or beneficial.
types of moles and non-cancerous moles ...
Moles aren’t contagious, and they usually don’t hurt, itch, or bleed. However, if you suspect a mole is abnormal, we recommend you speak with your healthcare provider. It is common for a person to have non-cancerous moles, skin tags, or warts on their skin. Most types of moles are generally harmless, such as:
Common Nevi: A normal pink, tan, or brown mole with a distinct edge.
Congenital Nevi: These moles are noticed at birth. They can sometimes progress into a melanoma or skin lesion.
Dysplastic Nevi: Larger and irregularly shaped, often with uneven colour or a dark brown centre, and can develop into a melanoma.
how to inspect moles ...
A mole’s appearance can change over time, so you should periodically inspect your moles or have someone else check them for you. Use the A, B, C, D, E method to inspect your moles. If a mole displays any of the signs listed below, make sure to have it checked by a specialist.
Asymmetry: If one half of the mole doesn’t match the other half.
Border: If the border of the mole is blurred or irregular-looking.
Colour: If your mole displays multiple colour pigments.
Diameter: If you have a big mole with a diameter larger than a pencil eraser.
Elevation/Evolution: If the mole becomes raised or changes shape over time.
treatment options to remove moles ...
While a normal (benign) mole may not need to be removed, some individuals may choose to have a mole removed for cosmetic reasons or due to discomfort. At Me Clinic, we offer a range of treatment options that can be performed under local anaesthesia. However, it’s important to note that every individual’s situation is unique, and the outcome of mole removal can vary. While we strive to use the latest technology and techniques, we cannot guarantee a specific result or that there will be minimal scarring.
Mole removal methods include:
- Aura Laser Mole Removal
- Scarless Cryotherapy using liquid nitrogen
- Electro Surgery Radiofrequency (RF) Treatment
- Surgical Excision
radiofrequency ...
Radiofrequency is a minimally invasive procedure that can be used to remove raised moles, lumps, bumps, and scaly skin lesions. While this procedure often results in minimal scarring and a brief healing period, it’s important to note that individual experiences can vary. Some individuals may experience discomfort or longer healing times.
Radiofrequency technology uses high-frequency energy, without the need for a scalpel incision or stitching. Discomfort is minimal, and healing is quick with virtually no bruising or swelling. A wide range of benign skin cell lesions and mole types can be treated with this transformative radio-wave surgery.
is there any downtime ...
After the procedure, the skin around the site may feel tender and appear discoloured. Aftercare typically involves the application of an ointment and covering the area with a band-aid for a few days. While many patients do not experience significant side effects or require extensive recovery time, it’s important to note that individual experiences can vary.
If cauterizing or stitching mole removal methods have been used, your Me Clinic practitioner will apply an ointment to the area to keep it moist while healing. The treated area will be covered with a dressing. You will need to keep the area clean and moist for a few days and change the dressing as instructed by your clinician. Avoid sun exposure for a few weeks and apply sunscreen when outdoors.
