How cosmetic mole removal works
Cosmetic mole removal is a procedure that addresses benign (non-cancerous) skin lesions. While a mole may not always be a medical concern, some individuals may seek removal for various personal reasons. These reasons might include discomfort with the mole’s position or appearance. At aliangé, Dr Alison Jamieson and her team work with each patient to develop a personalized approach based on individual circumstances.
There are several techniques that may be used for cosmetic mole removal, such as excision, shave excision, or laser ablation. The method chosen depends on factors such as the size, location, and type of the mole. Recovery typically involves following specific aftercare instructions provided by your clinician to support 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.
We aim to recommend an approach based on your individual needs and the characteristics of the mole. We will also provide information about potential risks or complications associated with the procedure and answer any questions you may have.
Potential benefits of cosmetic mole removal
The benefits of cosmetic mole removal can vary depending on the individual and their specific reasons for seeking the procedure. During your consultation at aliangé, our team can discuss how mole removal might relate to your particular case. Generally, the removal of a benign skin lesion may offer patients:
- Potential improvement in appearance of the treated area
- Possible reduction in irritation if the mole is in an uncomfortable location
- Potential improvement in self-esteem and overall self-image
It’s important to note that any concerns about potentially cancerous lesions should be addressed with a medical professional.
