Treatment of Moles by Cosmetic Physician
- Options are available for managing raised moles that are assessed as harmless and of aesthetic concern.
- Medicare rebates are not applicable for cosmetic mole removal. However, a small rebate may be available if a skin biopsy is required as part of the lesion removal.
Moles are a common occurrence on the skin, particularly for those with fair complexions. They can be genetic or the result of sun exposure, and are deposits of skin pigmentation that form together on the top layer of the skin. The majority of these skin pigmentations are harmless, but they can be an aesthetic concern for some patients, depending on their location.
Radio frequency approaches may be considered for the management of raised moles that are assessed as harmless and of aesthetic concern. Recovery time can vary depending on the type of procedure and individual circumstances.

This includes discussing the nature of the proposed treatment(s), alternative treatments, potential risks and relevant complications, aftercare instructions, and the costs involved. It also allows time for patients to ask questions.
