Hello Wondering which procedure would be best for mole reduction. I don’t want to get rid of my entire mole just make it smaller and kept it round. Which procedure would work best ?
Answer: Hidef Mole Removal in Los Angeles Mole removal options are all based on whether a mole is likely benign or malignant. There are many options to remove moles without scars; but in some cases surgery is required when a biopsy is needed. Non-surgical options can minimize scars. Treatment can be performed under local anesthesia in an outpatient setting.

Answer: See a Cosmetic Dermatologist for Mole Removal -- Lasers, Radiowave, Shave I recommend getting an in-person evaluation with a board-certified cosmetic dermatologist to determine the best option for you. Moles can be removed with a laser, radiowave or shave. If there is any scarring or pigmentation following the removal, your dermatologist can treat those conditions as well. See an expert.

Answer: Mole removal from cheek You need to see an expert in cosmetic mole removal who is experienced in removing growths from the face. There is always a risk for scar, recurrence, pigment changes (darker/lighter/red) in the area treated, and possible need for additional procedures. But an expert should be able to remove that mole with minimal scarring and an appearance more pleasing than currently. Importantly, my patients find that if the mole area becomes flat, rather than raised, even a small scar is a remarkable improvement overall. Always you need to be diligent about avoiding the sun / proper use of sunblock for about 6 months after removal for the best results. Your mole requires a surgeon, not laser or freezing or any other method if you want the best outcome.

Answer: Which procedure would be best for facial mole reduction? Facial moles can be safely and easily removed by one of two methods: a shave excision or an excision with suture closure. A dermatologic surgeon typically does both procedures expertly and can decide which would be best for your particular mole. A shave excision is a procedure where the mole is actually "shaved off" at a level just below the surface of the skin. The other method is an excision with suture closure which uses both dissolving and non-dissolving sutures to give the best cosmetic result. All methods of surgery will leave a scar but the trick is to minimize the scar using the proper technique.
