Your guide to mole and beauty mark removal
While some people love their moles and beauty marks as part of their unique charm, others may wish to remove them for cosmetic reasons or health concerns. Also, it is important to be vigilant about monitoring skin growths such as moles. If a mole changes in size, shape, or color, it’s always a good idea to get it checked out. It is better to be safe than sorry when it comes to the early detection of skin cancer. At Clear Skin Dermatology of Newmarket and Toronto, Ontario, we understand that some men and women may seek removal, and we can help!
Does mole removal hurt?
Most of our mole removals are done with local anesthesia, so you’ll feel little more than a quick pinch.
How long does the procedure take?
It’s quicker than you think. Most skin growth and imperfection extractions on the face and body take less than 30 minutes to complete. It’s an in-and-out process, perfect for squeezing into your busy schedule. However, it depends on the mole’s size and the type of beauty mark or skin growth being removed.
Will beauty mark and mole removal leave a scar?
Every skin healing process is a little different, but most of the time, if there’s a scar, it’s tiny and fades with time. We’ll also give you aftercare tips to minimize any future marks or imperfections. We use several techniques, including shaving the mole down, excision (another way of saying “cutting out”), or laser removal. We will figure out the best option for you and explain every detail beforehand so you’re familiar with it.
What about beauty marks, and can those be removed, too?
Absolutely! Beauty marks can be removed just like moles. That said, some patients change their minds when they realize that many iconic celebrities are known for their beauty marks. It’s totally up to you!
