Mole Removal
Mole Removal
Mole removal refers to the process of removing moles, which are small, pigmented spots or growths on the skin. Moles are generally harmless, but they can sometimes be aesthetically displeasing or cause discomfort if they are irritated or located in areas prone to friction. Additionally, in certain cases, moles may exhibit changes in size, shape, color, or texture. There are several methods of mole removal, depending on factors such as the type of mole, its location, and the individual’s preferences.

Mole Removal Safety
How to safely remove a mole
The first step of a successful mole removal is the correct diagnosis of the mole or growth.
A circular punch is placed on the circumference of the mole, allowing for removal with the smallest possible diameter. Typically this removes the roots of the mole.
Raised lesions can be shaved flush with the skin, and then treated with electrocautery. This burns the base of the mole to lower the risk of recurrence.
Cryotherapy can be used to treat some benign lesions such as age spots. Cryotherapy uses liquid nitrogen to generate extremely cold temperatures (-196°C) to destroy cells.
Electrocautery involves an electric metal scalpel that emanates heat. These high temperatures will destroy the cells where the lesion is located.
Mole Removal Treatment Experience
What to expect during a mole removal procedure
Before the procedure. Dr. Bailey will evaluate your skin, measure the area, ask about your medical history, and inform you about the most appropriate procedure for your case.
During the procedure. the lesion will be injected with a numbing substance. After the substance takes effect, patients will feel no pain or discomfort. These procedures typically take 15-20 minutes depending on the size of the growth.
After the procedure avoid sun exposure and continue to follow the instructions given by Dr. Bailey. Avoid strenuous exercise for 24 hours following the procedure to prevent bleeding.
The recovery time varies depending on the size and location of the mole, as well as the individual’s healing ability. It is normal to experience some swelling, bruising, and mild discomfort around the treated area
