Mole Removal (Nevus Excision)
Surgical & Laser Mole Removal
Whether you want a mole removed because it is irritating (rubbing against clothes), aesthetically displeasing, or medically suspicious, we offer the safest removal methods. We do not just “burn off” moles blindly. We evaluate every mole first. For cosmetic flat moles, we may use Laser or Radiofrequency to vaporize the tissue with minimal scarring. For raised or suspicious moles, we perform Surgical Excision to ensure the root is removed and send the tissue for pathological analysis to rule out cancer.
Frequently Asked Questions
With surgical excision, regrowth is extremely rare because the root is removed. With laser removal, there is a small chance of recurrence if some pigment cells remain deep in the skin.
No, that is a myth. Removing a mole does not cause cancer. In fact, removing a suspicious mole is a preventative measure. The key is proper medical examination before removal.
After laser removal, there is a shallow wound like a scrape that heals flat. After surgery, there is a small line scar. We provide detailed aftercare instructions to ensure the best healing.
We use local anesthesia (a small injection) to numb the area completely. You will feel no pain during the procedure, only a little pressure.
Please note that 2026 pricing varies depending on the number of moles, the method (laser vs. surgery), and pathology fees. A personalized treatment protocol and exact cost will be determined by our doctor during your consultation.
