COMPLEMENTARY
Mole removal provides immediate cosmetic improvement while offering peace of mind by ensuring suspicious moles are tested for malignancy. The treated area heals with little to no visible scarring, especially when performed by an experienced provider like Dr. Schwarcz. Regular skin checks and sun protection are essential to maintain healthy skin post-removal.
RESULTS
Recovery from mole removal is minimal, with most patients resuming normal activities immediately:
First Few Days: Mild redness or tenderness in the treated area is normal. Keep the area clean and covered with a bandage.
1-2 Weeks: The wound heals, and a small scab forms and falls off naturally. Avoid picking at the area to prevent scarring.
Long-Term: Any redness in the treated area fades over time, leaving minimal or no visible scar.
Follow-up appointments may be recommended if lab results indicate further evaluation is needed.
RECOVERY
Mole removal is typically performed as a quick office visit with minimal discomfort. The procedure usually takes 15-30 minutes, depending on the size and location of the mole.
Here’s what to expect:
Before Treatment: The area is cleansed and numbed with a local anesthetic to ensure comfort.
During Treatment: The mole is carefully removed using either a shave excision, laser, or another minimally invasive technique. The procedure is precise and efficient.
After Treatment: The tissue is sent to a lab for testing to ensure the cells are not malignant. A small bandage is applied to the area, and you’ll receive aftercare instructions.
Dr. Schwarcz’s expertise ensures a safe and effective removal with minimal scarring.
WHAT TO EXPECT
Preparing for mole removal is straightforward, with minimal preparation required:
Consultation: Dr. Schwarcz will assess your mole and discuss the best removal technique.
Avoid Sun Exposure: Protect the area from sun exposure leading up to your appointment.
Clean Skin: On the day of the procedure, ensure the area is clean and free of makeup or skincare products.
Dr. Schwarcz will provide personalized guidance to ensure a smooth experience.
PLANNING
Mole removal may not be suitable for individuals who:
Have active infections or inflammation in the area around the mole.
Are pregnant or breastfeeding if laser treatments are involved.
Expect immediate cosmetic perfection in cases of large or deep moles, which may require additional scar refinement.
During your consultation, Dr. Schwarcz will assess your specific needs and recommend the most appropriate treatment approach.
NOT CANDIDATES
You may be an excellent candidate for mole removal if you:
Have a mole you want removed for cosmetic or medical reasons.
Notice changes in a mole’s size, shape, color, or texture.
Experience discomfort, irritation, or bleeding from a mole.
Are in good overall health and have realistic expectations.
Dr. Schwarcz will evaluate your mole to determine the best removal method and ensure optimal results.
