Many people decide to have a mole removed for purely cosmetic reasons, but mole removal can also be a preventative measure against skin cancer. If you have a mole that starts to itch, bleed, leak fluid, or change in appearance, you should consult an expert.

Depending on the size and placement of your mole, we can inject a local anesthetic to ensure you don’t feel any pain. We will either shave or surgically excise the mole, permanently removing it.

Still have questions?
We use a local anesthetic to numb your skin around the mole and minimize any discomfort. If you have any questions during the procedure or concerns about pain management, let us know! We’re committed to making your patient experience as comfortable as possible.
Generally, mole removal doesn’t require any downtime, but you will need to care for your mole removal wound as it heals. Typically, you can expect your wound to heal within a few weeks. Make sure to keep the wound dry and clean during this time. We will give you detailed aftercare instructions to promote healing and reduce any scarring.
