Moles can be unsightly and annoying, but they can also be harmless. If you're looking to remove moles, there are two main methods of surgical removal: shaving excision and precise surgical blade removal. Shaving excision is used primarily for larger, raised moles and involves the use of anesthetic and a small scalpel to shave the bump of the mole so that it is flush with the skin. Smaller moles can be removed with a precise surgical blade.
After the mole is removed, a plastic surgical closure is used to suture the closed wound. The skin usually heals in a few days or a week. At Edgewater and Hoboken Cosmetic & Laser Centers, Dr. Khan, a member of the American College of Surgeons, ensures that surgical removal of moles and skin marks are performed in the least invasive and most aesthetically sound manner possible with minimal or no discomfort. Warts, skin marks, and moles can affect their appearance and be a nuisance, so it's important to differentiate between them.
The CO2 laser is an effective method for removing large, benign moles from the face and body. It can also help eliminate all kinds of irregularities in skin texture, such as warts, bumps, and skin marks. At Oasis Med Spa and Laser Center, Dee Martinez and her team use technology from popular laser provider Candela, as well as the advanced Syneron eMax intense pulsed light system to provide hair removal and photofacial services. After the wart, skin spot, or mole is removed, a bandage will be applied to the area to help heal. This form of mole removal is considered to be superior to traditional surgical techniques since it targets only the area in need of treatment. At Laser Skin Perfect Med Spa, their experts seek to enhance the natural beauty of their clients while making them feel relaxed and safe.
Depending on the size of your mole and its location, you may need one to three laser treatments to completely remove it. Sudbury Med Spa offers superior quality skin care products for those looking to take care of their skin. Unless specified by a dermatologist or doctor, there is no medical reason to remove small red moles, although they may bleed regularly at certain points. Researchers have also linked angiomas to certain medical conditions, weather, chemical exposure, and pregnancy. However, this does not mean that removing existing warts, skin papillomas, or moles prevents other people from growing in the future.
