Who Removes Moles at Cheshire Lasers?
Dr Will Allen performs mole removal at Cheshire lasers. He is a Consultant Surgeon with Double Board Certification in Cosmetic Surgery and Facial Reconstructive Surgery.
How do you remove Moles?
Shave excision and surgical curettage are the easiest and most common methods for removing a protruding mole.
This is carried out after local anaesthetic injections to fully anaesthetise the area to make it numb. A very thin area of underlying skin may also need removing, but this regenerates and heals from the outside edges and the base without stitches.
The procedure is for raised moles, not flat moles, which require full surgical removal.
What are Moles?
Moles are very common skin lesions that can occur in people of any age. They are not usually harmful, however, if they are prominent, they can cause people to be self-conscious.
What will it be like after treatment?
After the procedure, the area will remain numb for an hour.
It will look like a flat scab, and the wound will feel like a graze.
The scab will fall off naturally after a week, leaving a flat pink area. The pink area usually returns to normal skin colour after a few weeks. Sometimes, however, the skin may be l permanently lighter or darker following removal.
How long does a Mole Removal Treatment take?
A Mole removal treatment takes up to an hour,
This is to allow Dr Allen to assess your mole and make sure it is suitable for treatment. He will then discuss the procedure in more detail and consent you for treatment.
Once the anaesthetic has taken effect, the removal procedure usually takes only a few minutes. Stitches are rarely needed, and heat is used to cauterise any blood vessels afterwards.
Most patients cannot believe how quick and easy mole excision is, and often say that they wish they had done it sooner.
