Moles Removal
Moles are harmless clusters of pigment producing cells (melanocytes) on the skin surface. Moles sometimes are beautifying agents when they are at the right place on the face and have been source of inspiration for even poets. Some popular Bollywood actresses have mole on their face and body and they proudly flaunt it while others choose to get it removed. A mole on a wrong place which looks ugly is the main concern by most of the patients who demand its removal.
The following procedures can be used depending on the size and type of mole:
1. Radiosurgery
This is one of the most commonly used procedure for mole removal. This simple and delicate radiofrequency shave procedure is performed without crushing cells which causes minimal damage to the surrounding tissues. The dermal tissue responsible for the lesion is split apart as if it had been cut with a sharp razor-blade using heat generated by the existence of a radio frequency wave. This creates a raw non-bleeding surface no bigger than the original surface area of the lesion. A scab will form 7-15 days later and a fresh, healthy layer of new skin will appear which, over a period of time, blends in with the normal skin color.
2. Co2 Laser
Laser is a great way to remove unwanted moles as it only targets the affected area, unlike the traditional surgical methods. At Dr. Kalra’s skin Clinic, our professionals diagnose the type of mole or lesion and then design the laser strategy accordingly. It leaves the skin smoother and the procedure is also simple and safe.
3.Surgery
The traditional surgery is seldom used, especially for bigger and stubborn moles. Shave excision is the method used for removing moles that are raised above the skin. In this procedure, the doctor applies a local anesthetic to the area surrounding the mole and uses a sharp scalpel to shave the mole so that it gets removed along with the surrounding skin.
It is very important to choose the dermatologists wisely before going for mole removal as rarely moles can be a sign of internal malignancy and skin cancer as well which only a certified and experienced dermatologist can only identify which might require a biopsy as well.
