Mole Removal Surgery
Overview
Moles are natural skin formations that can appear anywhere on your body, often causing emotional or aesthetic concerns. Whether it’s a mole that’s been bothering you for years or a new one that’s raised health concerns, mole excision can bring a sense of relief and newfound confidence. Our mole excision procedure is a step toward restoring your skin’s natural beauty, while offering peace of mind for your long-term well-being.
Who are the ideal candidates for Mole excision?
Ideal candidates for mole excision include individuals with moles that are:
- Cosmetic concerns that affect your confidence
- Potentially cancerous or suspicious in appearance
- Causing discomfort due to their size or location
- New or changing in color, shape, or size
If you have concerns about your moles, our expert dermatologists at V6 Clinics can help determine if excision is the right solution for you.
What are the Benefits of Mole excision?
- Permanent Removal: Unlike other treatments, mole excision removes the mole entirely, ensuring it does not grow back.
- Minimal Scarring: Our advanced techniques minimize scarring, preserving the smooth appearance of your skin.
- Quick and Safe: Mole excision is a quick outpatient procedure performed under local anesthesia, making it both effective and safe.
- Health Protection: Removing suspicious moles early on can help prevent potential complications, including skin cancer.
What does your Mole excision journey at V6 clinics look like?
The mole excision procedure at V6 Clinics typically follows these steps:
- Consultation
The process begins with a thorough consultation with a dermatologist. During this step:
- The mole(s) in question are carefully examined to assess whether they need to be removed for cosmetic or medical reasons.
- If the mole appears suspicious or irregular, further testing may be recommended, such as a biopsy, to rule out any potential skin cancer concerns.
- Preparation
On the day of the procedure:
- The treatment area around the mole is cleaned and sterilized.
- Local anesthesia is administered to numb the skin, ensuring you are comfortable and pain-free throughout the procedure.
- Excision
There are two primary techniques for mole excision, and the choice depends on the type of mole and its location:
- Shave Excision:
This method is used for smaller, raised moles. The mole is shaved off using a small surgical blade, leaving a flat, smooth surface. This approach is less likely to leave a scar, as stitches are typically not needed. - Excisional Surgery:
This method is used for larger or deeper moles, or those suspected to be cancerous. The entire mole and a small margin of surrounding tissue are cut out. The wound is then stitched closed. This approach ensures complete mole removal and may leave a small scar, which will fade over time with proper aftercare.
- Closure and Bandaging
- After the mole is removed, the area is either bandaged (in the case of shave excision) or stitched (in the case of excisional surgery).
- Antibiotic ointment may be applied to prevent infection and promote healing.
- Aftercare Instructions
Detailed aftercare instructions are provided to help you manage the healing process. These typically include:
- Keeping the wound clean and dry
- Applying ointments as prescribed
- Avoiding strenuous activities for a few days to prevent pulling on the wound
- Returning to the clinic for stitch removal, if applicable

What to expect after the procedure?
Following mole excision, you can expect some mild swelling and tenderness in the treated area. Most patients experience minimal discomfort, which can be managed with over-the-counter pain relief. The healing process takes about one to two weeks, after which any stitches will be removed if necessary. Scar visibility will decrease over time, especially with proper aftercare, and you’ll be left with smoother, mole-free skin.
