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. Your specialist will provide detailed information about the risks and side effects associated with your procedure.

What to do before mole removal?

Before your mole removal procedure, your specialist will provide detailed instructions on preparing for the procedure. 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.

What happens during mole removal?

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. This may include keeping the area clean and dry, avoiding direct sunlight on the area, and avoiding strenuous activities that may irritate the area. It is also essential to monitor the area for any signs of infection or abnormal healing and to contact your specialist if you have any concerns.
