Mole Removal

Duration

30 min

Surgical removal of single skin lesion with local anesthesia.

Professional mole and skin lesion removal uses precise techniques to safely remove moles, skin tags, warts, and other benign skin growths. Methods include surgical excision, shave removal, cryotherapy (freezing), laser ablation, and electrocautery. Before removal, a dermatologist examines the lesion — sometimes with dermoscopy — to confirm it is benign and determine the optimal technique. Suspicious lesions are sent for pathological examination. Post-removal care is straightforward, and most procedures leave minimal scarring.
