Technologies Used for Moles Removal
- Laser Mole Removal – Uses high-energy laser beams to break down mole pigments, suitable for small, flat, or pigmented moles.
- Radiofrequency (RF) Ablation – A controlled heat-based method that removes moles layer by layer with minimal scarring.
- Cryotherapy (Freezing Method) – Liquid nitrogen is applied to freeze and destroy the mole, causing it to fall off naturally.
- Surgical Excision – The mole is cut out with a scalpel and stitched if necessary, best for deep or large moles.
- Electrocautery (Burning Method) – Uses electrical current to remove the mole and seal the skin to prevent bleeding.
- Shave Excision – A precision blade is used to shave off raised moles at the skin surface without deep cutting.
- Dermabrasion – A rotating instrument removes the upper layers of mole-affected skin, helping to smooth the area.
- Plasma Pen Treatment – Uses ionized gas to remove mole cells, suitable for non-cancerous moles.
Step-by-Step Procedure for Moles Removal
Step 1: Consultation & Skin Analysis
- The doctor examines the mole to determine its size, depth, and type.
- A biopsy may be done if the mole appears suspicious or irregular.
- The most suitable removal method (laser, RF, excision, etc.) is selected based on the mole’s characteristics.
Step 2: Skin Preparation
- The area around the mole is cleansed and disinfected.
- A numbing cream or local anesthesia is applied to ensure a painless procedure.
Step 3: Mole Removal (Method Based on Technology Used)
- Laser Removal – A high-energy laser is used to break down mole pigments.
- Radiofrequency (RF) Ablation – Controlled heat is applied to vaporize the mole.
- Cryotherapy – Liquid nitrogen is applied to freeze and destroy the mole.
- Surgical Excision – The mole is cut out, and stitches are placed if necessary.
- Electrocautery – An electrical current burns and removes the mole.
- Shave Excision – A fine blade shaves off the mole at skin level.
Step 4: Post-Treatment Care
- A soothing antiseptic cream or dressing is applied to the treated area.
- Patients are advised to avoid sun exposure and harsh skincare products on the area.
- Minimal redness or scabbing may occur but heals within a few days.
Step 5: Healing & Follow-Up
- Complete healing takes 1-2 weeks, depending on the removal method.
- A follow-up visit ensures proper healing and checks for any regrowth.
