Laser Mole Removal

Laser mole removal is used for treating flat, benign, pigmented moles.

Before any treatment, all lesions are assessed by Dr Omarjee to confirm that they are benign and suitable for laser removal. The skin is then prepared, and the laser is applied directly to the mole. The light energy targets the mole cells while aiming to minimise effects on the surrounding skin.

Laser mole removal may be chosen for areas that are more delicate, such as the face or nose. It can also be considered when there are several moles you would like addressed in one session.

The time required for the procedure can vary. Some pigmented lesions may require more than one session, usually spaced 3 months apart, depending on your individual circumstances.

Radiofrequency Mole Removal

Dr Omarjee uses the Surgitron device by Ellman to perform a radiofrequency shaving technique for certain moles and skin lesions. This method is often considered for moles that sit above the surface of the skin.

The device is used to carefully shave the mole in fine layers. As the device works, it also cauterises the area, which may help manage bleeding.

Radiofrequency mole removal allows for precise control. However, as with any procedure, the outcome can vary between individuals. Scarring is possible, and the final appearance depends on several factors, including skin type and healing response.

Mole/Skin Lesion Excisional Biopsy

If a mole or skin lesion is considered to be of concern, an excisional biopsy may be recommended. This involves numbing the area before carefully removing the entire lesion so it can be sent for laboratory testing.

The incision usually extends through to the fatty layer beneath the skin, which means a small margin of normal skin may also be removed. The area is then closed with sutures to support healing.

Once the sample has been tested, you will be advised of the results and whether any further treatment is required.
