How to Remove Face and Body Moles?
The most commonly used method for removing facial and body moles is laser procedures. In some cases, surgical applications may be necessary, and the removal process can be completed through an operation. When you visit our clinic, the appropriate method for removing facial and body moles will be determined.
- If mole removal is done using the laser method, local anesthesia is usually applied. However, general anesthesia may be used depending on the number of moles. General anesthesia can yield more accurate results for long-lasting laser procedures.
- In the laser application, the area with moles is targeted and the skin is treated to promote healing. It’s important to note that laser treatment may not be suitable for every mole, so it’s advisable to consult with your doctor about this.
- If the removal involves a burning process, the tissues are burned using electricity. This procedure is called cauterization. Local anesthesia is commonly used for this laser-like procedure.
- In surgical removal of facial and body moles, the mole is separated from the skin under general anesthesia. Stitches are placed on the area where the mole was removed, and the healing process begins with a bandage. During the surgical procedure, a thorough examination is conducted to detect any suspicious appearances. If necessary, a pathological examination may be carried out.
- In some cases of surgical removal of facial and body moles, it may be necessary to remove moles along with the surrounding skin. This is particularly important when a pathological examination is desired. The size of the stitches used in the surgery will depend on the size of the mole that was removed. The stitches will be removed after 1-2 weeks.
Which Moles Should Be Removed?
The removal of facial and body moles is not only for cosmetic purposes but also for health reasons when they cause physical discomfort. If you wish to alter your appearance for aesthetic reasons, the procedure is performed solely for aesthetic purposes. Additionally, you may choose to remove a mole due to personal preference. Moles that may pose health risks include:
- Moles with color changes
- Moles with an indistinct shape
- Itchy moles
- Changes in size
- Thick and bleeding moles
In conclusion, the removal of facial and body moles is recommended when they cause physical discomfort or present potential health risks. Aesthetic reasons may also warrant their removal. It is important to consult with a specialist to determine the appropriate method for removal and to ensure a safe and successful procedure.
