Facial Mole Removal Procedures
Usually before the removal of facial mole, local anesthetic is used to numb the area surrounding the mole. As it is a minor surgery with only local anesthetic used, most mole removals are done in dermatologists’ offices.
Mole Removal Procedures: Excision
Excision is the oldest method used to remove unwanted moles. The procedure involves the cutting of tissues surrounding the mole with the use of a medical cutting device like scalpel. This method is effective even for deep moles as mole tissues are cut deep enough to remove all the mole cells in order to get rid of the entire mole.
Stitching is required to seal the hole and this usually leaves a scar. The severity and the size of the scar are very well dependent on how big the mole was and how deep of the cutting needed. After-care is very important following the excision procedure to prevent infection, which might lead to scarring as well.
Mole Removal Procedures: Shaving
Shaving method is best used on moles that do not reach too deep into the skin. This procedure uses a sharp blade to shave off the protruding part of the mole, making it even with the surrounding skin. No stitches are required in this method. However, mole cells that lay underneath the skin are not removed. This poses the possibility of mole growing back.
Laser treatment is the latest mole removal technique used to remove unsightly moles. The procedure entails the use of laser beam on low setting to vanish the mole tissues. Scarring is rare in laser mole removal as no cutting or stitches are required.
However, laser treatment is only effective for removing flat moles, as laser beam is not able to penetrate deep enough to remove deep mole cells. Usually a minimum of 3 laser treatments is required to completely remove a mole.
Mole Removal Procedures: Electrocautery
This method uses an electronic instrument to burn off the moles that lay on the superficial layers of the skin. It is not suitable to be used on raised moles or deep moles as the heating instrument cannot reach deeper than the surface skin.
