Mole Removal

Moles can be unsightly and even potentially dangerous, which is why many people choose to have them removed. At MyImage Skin and Body, we understand the importance of healthy and clear skin, and we offer a range of mole removal treatments to help you achieve just that. Our experienced professionals use the latest techniques and technologies to ensure safe and effective skin mole removal with minimal scarring.

At MyImage Skin and Body, we offer a safe and effective shave removal method for mole removal. This method is a minimally invasive procedure that removes moles quickly and easily, leaving little to no scarring.

During the shave removal procedure, our expert medical professionals use a surgical blade to carefully remove the mole. This method is ideal for moles that are raised above the skin’s surface and do not have any suspicious features. Shave removal is also a great option for moles that are located in areas where scarring is a concern, such as the face or neck.

Our team takes great care to ensure that the procedure is as painless and comfortable as possible. We use local anesthesia to numb the area being treated, so you won’t feel any pain or discomfort during the procedure. You may experience some mild discomfort and redness in the area for a few days after the procedure, but this will usually subside quickly.

After the procedure, we provide detailed aftercare instructions to help ensure that the area heals properly. We also recommend that you avoid direct sunlight on the treated area for several weeks to help prevent any scarring.

At MyImage Skin and Body, we are committed to helping you achieve the best possible results. Our team of experienced medical professionals will work with you to create a personalized treatment plan that meets your unique needs and goals.

What are moles and why do they need to be removed?

Moles are growths on the skin that can vary in color and size. While most moles are harmless, some may develop into skin cancer over time. Additionally, moles can be unsightly or interfere with daily activities, such as shaving or wearing certain types of clothing. For these reasons, many people choose to have their moles removed.

How is mole removal performed
at MyImage Skin and Body?

At MyImage Skin and Body, we offer several mole removal techniques, including:

Shave excision

This method involves using a scalpel to shave off the mole at its base. This is a quick and relatively painless procedure that typically leaves little scarring. On the day of your appointment, it’s important to arrive with clean, freshly shaved skin. This will help the laser to better target the hair follicles and reduce the risk of skin irritation.

During your consultation, our experienced professionals will evaluate your mole and recommend the best removal method based on its size, location, and other factors.

What should I expect during
and after the procedure?

The procedure for mole removal varies depending on the method used. In general, the area will be numbed with a local anesthetic to minimize discomfort. After the mole is removed, the area may be covered with a bandage or dressing.

After the procedure, it is important to keep the area clean and dry to prevent infection. You may experience some redness, swelling, or tenderness at the site, but these symptoms typically subside within a few days.
