What Is Mole Removal?
Cosmetic mole or lesion removal is the process of eliminating growths that are too large, dark, bumpy, or prominently located. Surgery to remove moles may be necessary to reduce the likelihood of scarring, particularly for more complex cases. At MCS Dermatology, board-certified dermatologist Dr. Cynthia Abban specializes in mole removal surgery, providing precise excision of unwanted lesions for patients in Elk Grove Village, IL and the surrounding areas of Arlington Heights, Schaumburg, Hoffman Estates, and Des Plaines. During a consultation, Dr. Abban assesses the location, size, and depth of the mole to determine the most appropriate treatment approach while also evaluating whether the mole is benign or malignant to ensure safe removal. Schedule an appointment to explore your options for achieving clearer skin.
How Are Moles Removed?
The method for removing moles depends on size, depth, and location. Moles that are flush with the skin's surface or only skin-deep may be treated using minimally invasive laser techniques. Deeper or larger lesions often require mole removal surgery, which involves excision. During this procedure, Dr. Abban administers local anesthesia, carefully excises the mole or lesion, and sutures the skin for optimal results with minimal scarring. Whether you need mole removal on your face or another area, Dr. Abban tailors the procedure to enhance both aesthetic outcomes and skin health.
The cost of mole removal varies, depending on the size and location of the mole, the technique used, and whether pathology testing is needed. During your consultation, Dr. Abban will provide a detailed estimate tailored to your case.
