When should I consider mole removal?
You should consider mole removal if a mole is a cosmetic concern or if you notice any changes in its size, shape, or color. It is always important to have any suspicious moles evaluated by a professional, as changing moles can be a sign of melanoma.
What is the mole removal procedure like?
The procedure is typically minimally invasive and performed in a single day at our clinic. Your surgeon will use a local anesthetic to numb the area, ensuring the process is comfortable and pain-free. For a suspicious mole, a specimen will be sent to pathology for analysis.
Will there be a scar after mole removal?
The appearance of a scar depends on the removal method. Surgical removal may result in a faint scar, while CO2 laser ablation often leaves a very minimal, almost indiscernible mark. Our surgeons are skilled in techniques that ensure the best possible aesthetic outcome.
What happens during a consultation for mole removal?
During your consultation, our surgeon will perform a comprehensive evaluation of your mole to determine if it is a benign cosmetic concern or requires a biopsy. They will discuss the best removal method, expected outcomes, and address any questions you may have.
What are the different types of mole removal?
We offer several options for mole removal in Glasgow. These include surgical excision, which is often necessary for suspicious moles, and CO2 laser ablation, a highly effective technique for vaporizing benign moles with minimal scarring.
How long is the recovery after mole removal?
Recovery from mole removal is swift, with minimal to no downtime. You can typically return to your normal daily routine the same day as your procedure. Your surgeon will provide you with clear aftercare instructions to ensure a smooth healing process.
