What is mole removal?

Mole removal is a cosmetic procedure that involves the removal of a mole, typically for aesthetic purposes. Moles are common skin growths that can appear on any part of the body and vary in size, shape, and colour. While most moles are harmless, some individuals may wish to have them removed for cosmetic reasons or if the mole presents a risk of developing into skin cancer.

Who should get mole removal?

Anyone concerned about the appearance of a mole or has a mole that is atypical or causing discomfort may be a good candidate for mole removal. However, it is essential to consult a qualified specialist to determine if mole removal is the best option.

How long does it take for mole removal to recover?

The healing time after mole removal can vary depending on the removal technique used and the size and location of the mole. Generally, the area takes around 1-2 weeks to heal completely. During this time, it is essential to follow the aftercare instructions provided by your specialist to ensure the best possible healing experience.

What are the risks and side effects of mole removal?

Mole removal is a generally safe procedure, but there are risks associated with any surgical procedure. Potential risks include infection, bleeding, scarring, and changes in skin pigmentation.

This may include avoiding certain medications, avoiding alcohol consumption, and stopping smoking if you are a smoker. It is essential to follow these instructions carefully to ensure the best possible outcome.

The mole removal procedure will depend on the size and location of the mole, as well as the removal technique used. The area will generally be numbed with a local anaesthetic before the mole is removed. The mole may be removed using a shave removal technique or by cutting it out. After the mole is removed, the area will be cleaned and a dressing may be applied.

What to do after mole removal?

After your mole removal procedure, following the aftercare instructions provided by your specialist is essential.

Skin tags are small skin-colored growths that appear on our skin. They can be various different sizes, and they can often be found around your neck, armpits, or even near the groin. They usually don’t cause pain or discomfort, and they’re not contagious or dangerous. However, they can sometimes feel strange on your skin or look unsightly. With help from our specialists, removing an unwanted skin tag is simple and painless.

Can skin tags be a problem?

In most cases, a skin tag is harmless and won’t cause pain or discomfort. However, they can sometimes affect your appearance or self-esteem, and they might cause small problems such as being uncomfortable when you wear certain clothes. Skin tags can sometimes fall off on their own, but they can also be removed with a procedure.

However, attempting to remove skin tags on your own can cause a lot of bleeding, so it’s best to speak with a trained specialist first.

How are skin tags removed?

The most common methods of removing a skin tag are excision removal and cryotherapy. Excisions cut away the skin tag with local anesthetic, making it a quick and painless procedure. Cryotherapy attempts to freeze the skin tag with liquid nitrogen, thus killing the cells and helping it fall off naturally.

When your skin breaks, the body releases collagen to help heal and strengthen the wound. Over months, more and more collagen is released, making the scar lumpy or raised. If you want help reducing the visibility of your scar, consider the following treatments to start your journey to scar removal.

What Treatments Are Available?

Several cutting-edge treatments can reduce the appearance of scars and lead to almost total scar removal:

• Microneedling – cosmetic procedure that involves repeatedly puncturing the skin with tiny, sterile needles
• Laser therapy – non-ablative laser therapy stimulates the growth of new collagen, while ablative laser surgery helps to remove the scarred area of skin

When Will I See Results?

Microneedling will leave your skin more sensitive than usual for few days. Once the skin calms down, you should start to see the results of your treatment, although a course of treatments is normally recommended. Laser surgery can take place over multiple sessions and visible results will be noticeable after the first few months of treatment.

What Is The Recovery Time?

After microneedling, you may notice some redness, minor irritation or sunburn like feeling for couple of days. This is completely normal and usually subsides within 24 – 48 hours. You may return to work immediately after the treatment if you feel comfortable. Some people may also experience peeling which usually starts 3 – 5 days after the treatment. Bruising, swelling and rough skin will usually resolve naturally within 7 days. You should avoid sports for up to a six-week period. Laser treatment for scar removal has about a week of recovery time for each session.
