Mole Removals
Mole removal is a cosmetic treatment in which moles are removed from the skin for cosmetic reasons or to prevent possible medical risks associated with specific types of moles. Depending on the nature and location of the mole, we provide a variety of mole removal treatments at our practice. Moles can vary in size, shape, and texture and are often brown or black in color. While the majority of moles are benign, some could be problematic and need to be removed for either medical or cosmetic reasons. It is important to consult with a board-certified dermatologist. Patient satisfaction and safety is our primary goal at our office.
With your cooperation, our Board-Certified Dermatologist will decide whether mole removal is the best choice for your particular needs and goals. You can contact us to schedule a consultation and find out more about this treatment.
