Is Mole Removal Right for You?
You may be a candidate if you have:
- A mole that has changed in size, shape, or color
- A raised or irritated mole that catches on clothing or jewelry
- A mole located in a cosmetically sensitive area
- A lesion you would like evaluated for skin cancer
- A mole you simply wish to remove for aesthetic reasons
The Procedure
After a thorough evaluation, Dr. Arzadon will determine the most appropriate removal technique based on the size, location, and appearance of the mole. Depending on your needs, the mole may be carefully excised or shaved using a minimally invasive technique under local anesthesia. If medically indicated, the tissue may be sent for pathological evaluation.
Recovery
Most mole removals are completed in less than 30 minutes with little to no downtime. Mild redness or tenderness is normal during healing, and patients can typically resume normal activities immediately. Dr. Arzadon uses meticulous surgical techniques to promote optimal healing and minimize scarring whenever possible.
