Mole/wart removal

What is Mole & Wart Removal?

Mole and wart removal is a dermatological procedure designed to safely eliminate unwanted moles, warts, and skin tags for both cosmetic and medical reasons. Moles are usually pigmented skin growths, while warts are caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV) and can spread if left untreated. Various removal techniques, including laser treatment, radiofrequency, cryotherapy, and surgical excision, ensure a smooth and scar-free healing process.

How Does Mole & Wart Removal Work?

1. Laser Removal: High-intensity laser energy breaks down the mole or wart tissue, allowing the body to naturally shed it over time.
2. Cryotherapy (Freezing): Liquid nitrogen is applied to freeze the wart, causing it to fall off after a few days.
3. Electrocautery (Radiofrequency): A heated probe removes the mole or wart with minimal bleeding and scarring.
4. Surgical Excision: For deeper or larger growths, the dermatologist may cut out the mole or wart using a minor surgical procedure.

Who Can Benefit from Mole & Wart Removal?

This treatment is ideal for individuals with unsightly, bothersome, or potentially harmful moles and warts. If a mole changes in size, shape, or color, it should be evaluated for possible skin cancer.
