Mole Removal

Moles on the skin may accompany us from birth or appear for various reasons later in life.

The most common triggers for pigmented lesions on the skin are overexposure to the sun, use of tanning beds, hormonal problems or genetic predisposition.

Depending on the location and visibility of the mole, they sometimes become a cause of psychological discomfort and complexes in patients.

It is also important to remember that it is not only an aesthetic problem, but also a health risk.

Mole excision – indications and course of treatment

Mole removal can be carried out as a preventive or curative measure.

For some patients, excision of the suspicious lesion to prevent it from becoming malignant is the best precaution, while nevi that already show signs of disease must necessarily be removed.

Surgical removal of moles is also recommended in the case of deeply situated nevi or hairy nevi.

Medical progress now makes it possible to diagnose nevi quickly and efficiently and their removal is painless and completely safe.

The mole removal procedure is carried out under local anaesthetic. Fifteen minutes after its completion, the patient can go home in peace.

The excised beauty spot is submitted for histopathological examination to find out its nature.

The results are available after approximately two weeks.

After the procedure, it is important for the patient to implement healthy habits – avoid excessive sunlight, tanning beds and apply high protection filters to the skin.
