Is it possible to remove a beauty mark/skin flat mole of my nose? If yes, how much would it cost me to remove it? (photo)

Question

Raffy Karamanoukian, MD, FACS · Answer

Mole removal begins with a comprehensive examination and consultation to determine the likelihood of a mole being worrisome. Excisional and incisional biopsies are reserved for suspicious moles. But it’s good news that most moles are not problematic and are only cosmetic, thus leading to the option of scarless or non-surgical mole removal with lasers and RF and plasma. Our office specializes in non-surgical mole removal.

When I remove a flat mole on the nose such as yours I will typically usually use a "shave excision" method. The mole is actually
"shaved off" at a very superficial level just below the surface of
the skin.This method is quite effective to remove moles and leaves a
minimal scar. The procedure typically takes
less than a minute, and is fairly painless. Moles that are removed in this
fashion will rarely recur enough to be bothersome. The tissue that has been removed can
then be sent for microscopic examination to make sure the mole is benign.
Dermatologic surgeons are experts at doing this procedure.
