How Long Does a Mole Removal Take?

What is Mole Removal?

In the majority of cases, moles are completely harmless. However, depending on their location and size, they may seriously affect one’s appearance or self-confidence. As moles can be cosmetically bothersome, many patients opt for an effective treatment designed to remove moles that protrude above the skin’s surface.

At SpaMedica, we offer a variety of options related to cosmetic mole removal excision. These methods range from utilizing state-of-the-art laser devices to applying liquid nitrogen to the targeted area. By booking a consultation at SpaMedica, experienced dermatologists can recommend the best course of treatment for your particular mole removal situation.

Who is a Mole Removal Candidate?

There is no particular age restriction for a mole removal treatment, and there is no specific trait that defines a “good” candidate. Fundamentally, good candidates are patients who would like to remove unwanted moles on their body. However, as is the case with most cosmetic procedures, good candidates should have logical expectations concerning the risks and benefits of the procedure.

Benefits of Mole Removal

Smoother Skin
A mole removal treatment can help patients achieve skin that is smoother and clearer.

Boost Self-Esteem
A noticeable mole can have a devastating impact on one’s self-confidence. Fortunately, the treatment can enhance a patient’s self-esteem by improving their appearance.

Easier Shaving
The treatment can remove protruding moles that get in the way of activities like shaving.

Reduce Skin Irritation
A mole removal treatment reduces skin irritation that occurs when certain moles rub against clothing or jewelry.

Risks of Mole Removal

Like all procedures, a mole surgical excision comes with the risk of potential complications. Dr. Bell, Dr. Bray and Dr. Chen have been performing mole removal treatments for many years, and after these many procedures, the risk of a significant complication is extremely low. Although surgeons have not seen most of the risks listed below, these mole removal risks have been reported:

Infection
While risks are minimal, a possible complication that can occur involves the infection of the mole.

Adverse Scarring
Scarring is a common condition that can occur as a result of the excision approach. Some scars fade away, but others can be permanent. Scars can be eliminated through skin resurfacing or other scar revision procedures.

Numbness
The affected area may feel numb following the procedure, but this side effect is typically temporary.

Swelling
In some cases, the procedure can result in swelling. However, this swelling should subside in the days following the procedure.

How is Mole Removal Performed by Dr. Bell?

Laser treatment represents the most common approach to mole removal. The use of a laser generally involves topical local anesthetic cream. After selecting the appropriate laser, your SpaMedica cosmetic dermatologist will treat your mole over one or several sessions in order to optimize its complete removal with the lowest possible risk of a visible mark, blemish or scar.

During the procedure, the laser beams used by board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Bell are absorbed by the pigment of the mole, destroying the cells in the process. This method of mole removal may require about 3 treatments to make the mole invisible.

How to Prepare for a Mole Removal

Prior to your procedure, Dr. Bell and his team will review your medications and medical history. Based on the scope of the procedure, SpaMedica doctors may recommend that you stop taking certain medications before the treatment. It is also recommended that you consume a healthy diet and drink plenty of liquids before your treatment.

What to Expect After a Mole Removal

Following your mole removal treatment, follow-up care may be required to optimize your aesthetic outcome. Post-operative care instructions generally include daily cleansing and topical antibiotic application. However, specific instructions will be given on the day of your treatment.

Also, please note that patients should avoid getting the targeted area wet following the procedure. In addition, Polysporin should be applied twice daily for 7 days to minimize the threat of infection and enhance the efficiency of the healing process.

Best Procedures Paired with Mole Removal

Laser wrinkle reduction, IPL photorejuvenation, skin care and botox injectable pair well with mole removal.
