Understanding Mole Removal
Mole removal is a procedure used to remove unwanted moles from the skin. In some cases, this may be for cosmetic reasons, while in others it may be because the mole is irritated by clothing, shaving, or friction. The most appropriate treatment approach depends on the size, type, location, and clinical features of the mole.
It is important to note that not all moles are suitable for cosmetic removal. Any mole with suspicious or changing features may require medical assessment, monitoring, or referral before treatment is considered.

How Mole Removal Works
At Beauty by Doctor, most moles are removed using radiofrequency (RF). This technique uses a controlled electrical current to precisely remove or reduce raised skin lesions and is commonly used for benign-appearing moles where appropriate.
Other techniques may be considered depending on the individual case. Scalpel excision involves surgical removal and may be used for larger or deeper lesions. Laser removal may be considered for selected smaller, benign-appearing moles where clinically appropriate.
The choice of technique depends on the appearance of the lesion, its location, and the outcome being sought. Local anaesthetic may be used where appropriate to improve comfort during the procedure.

Expected Results
The aim of mole removal is to reduce or remove the visible lesion. Outcomes vary depending on the size and depth of the mole, the treatment method used, and individual healing characteristics. In some cases, a mark, change in pigment, or scar may remain after treatment.
A consultation is important so that the likely outcome, limitations, and possible risks can be discussed before proceeding.

Treatable Areas
Mole removal may be performed on a range of body areas, including the face, neck, arms, legs, and torso, depending on the type of lesion and whether treatment is clinically appropriate.

Procedure Duration and Comfort
The procedure is usually performed in clinic. Treatment time can range from around 15 minutes to an hour depending on the number, size, and location of the moles being treated. Comfort levels vary between individuals, and local anaesthetic may be used where appropriate.

Recovery and Aftercare
Recovery varies depending on the treatment method used and the area treated. The skin may appear red, swollen, or form a small crust during the healing period. Many patients find the area settles within about a week, although healing time can vary.
Aftercare usually includes keeping the area clean, avoiding unnecessary friction, and protecting the skin from sun exposure while it heals. Specific aftercare instructions are provided after treatment.

Sessions and Cost
In many cases, mole removal can be completed in a single session, although some lesions may require review or further treatment depending on their response and the treatment method used.
Pricing varies based on the number of moles, their size, location, and the method used. As a general guide, treatment is usually between $495-$995.
