Mole Removal
Moles come in different shapes and sizes and can appear from your nose or anywhere on the face, as well as arms and chest areas, sometimes in groups, or by themselves. Some moles go unnoticed while some are considered as beauty spots, i.e. they are actually considered attractive by many.
For some, it is a great worry as it can result in dangerous outcomes. Whatever form it maybe- laser mole removal or other cosmetic mole removal, will remain a cosmetic surgery procedure providing a solution to people who want to improve their appearance and get rid of the related health risks.
Remember, that a cosmetic surgery is a surgical procedure whose results cannot be erased forever.
Moles, or nevi, can be removed by 2 surgical methods:
1. Excision (cutting) with stitches
2. Excision with cauterization (a tool is used to burn away the mole): Although laser has been tried for moles, it is not usually the method of choice for most deep moles because the laser light doesn’t penetrate deeply enough. Typically, the doctor or dermatologist (a skin specialist) may choose excision with or without stitches depending on the depth of the mole and the type of cosmetic outcome desired.
Now, what is a mole?
Normally, a mole is associated with any dark spot or irregularity in the skin. Whereas doctors take it quite differently. But all skin marks cannot be treated as moles only like:
- Birthmarks
- Abnormal blood vessels (hemangiomas)
- Keratoses (benign or precancerous spots, which appear after about age 30 years)
What is the cause behind these moles?
- Some moles are by birth whereas some appear over time.
- Sun exposure seems is also one of the major cause of the development of moles and may also develop atypical, or dysplastic moles.Hereditary factor also dominates a lot in the occurence of moles in humans.
- Many families have a typical mole called dysplastic (atypical), normally associated with a higher frequency of melanoma or skin cancer.
