How cosmetic mole removal works
Cosmetic mole removal deals with benign (non-cancerous) skin lesions. A mole may not be a medical concern, but it may be bothersome for other reasons, leading a person to want it removed. For example, a person may be concerned about the position of their benign lesion, which may make them uncomfortable or self-conscious. Additionally, some people may be concerned that their mole will become cancerous over time. Whatever the reason for seeking cosmetic mole removal, Dr Alison Jamieson and her team will develop a plan that works best for you and your circumstances.
Cosmetic mole removal can be done via a number of techniques, such as excision (cutting it out), shave excision (shaving it off at the surface), or laser ablation (burning it off). The method chosen will depend on the size, location, and type of the mole. Afterwards, recovery is typically minimal, and you will need to follow your clinician’s instructions on how to aid the healing process.
Your consultation
A consultation will be necessary prior to cosmetic mole removal in order to establish the nature of your lesion and how best to treat it. During your meeting with us, we will examine your mole and discuss your reasons for wanting to have it removed. We will assess the size, colour, location, and texture, as well as other factors such as symmetry and border.
After evaluating the mole, we will discuss the different removal options with you and recommend the best option based on your individual needs and the characteristics of the mole. We will also inform you of any potential risks or complications associated with the procedure and answer any questions you may have.
