Mole Removal: What to expect

Before

Before mole removal, it’s essential to have a thorough consultation with your doctor. They will examine the mole to determine if it’s benign or requires further testing. During this time, you’ll discuss your health history, including any allergies, medications, or concerns. Depending on the mole’s size, location, and type, your doctor will recommend the best removal method—such as surgical excision, shave excision, laser treatment, or cryotherapy. If you choose excision, you may need to fast or adjust medication beforehand. Make sure to ask any questions about scarring or healing to set realistic expectations.

During

On the day of the procedure, the area around the mole will be thoroughly cleaned. For surgical and shave excision, local anesthesia will be applied to numb the area, so you won’t feel pain. The doctor will then either cut the mole out (excision) or shave it off (shave excision). Laser removal is less invasive and involves a targeted beam of light to fade the mole over multiple sessions. In cryotherapy, liquid nitrogen freezes the mole, causing it to fall off later. Electrosurgery uses heat to burn off the mole in layers. Each method is tailored to the type and depth of your mole, and most procedures are quick, lasting about 30 minutes.

Upon

Post-procedure care depends on the removal method. If stitches were used, keep the area clean and dry, and follow your doctor’s instructions on changing bandages and avoiding physical activities that could disrupt healing. For laser or cryotherapy, there may be minor redness or swelling, but the recovery is faster. Some methods, like excision, may leave a small scar, which will fade over time. In the weeks following, watch the area for any signs of infection or regrowth, especially if you had a mole removed due to potential cancer risk. Always schedule a follow-up appointment to ensure proper healing and address any concerns.

Aftercare Instructions

• Keep the treated area clean and dry.
• Avoid touching or scratching the wound.
• Follow your doctor’s instructions for changing bandages.
• Apply any prescribed ointments to aid healing.
• Avoid sun exposure on the area; use sunscreen if needed.
• Refrain from strenuous activities that could disturb the wound.
• Watch for signs of infection, such as redness, swelling, or discharge.
• Attend any follow-up appointments to monitor healing.
• Let scabs fall off naturally; do not pick at them.
• Use scar treatments if recommended to minimize scarring.

Results

The results of mole removal vary based on the method used. Surgical excision typically yields permanent results, completely eliminating the mole, though it may leave a small scar that fades over time. Shave excision often results in minimal scarring, and many people find the area heals well. Laser removal can fade the appearance of moles significantly, but multiple sessions may be required for complete results, and some moles may not disappear entirely. Cryotherapy usually leads to the mole falling off within a few weeks, leaving little to no scarring. Overall, while the mole is removed, individual healing and scar appearance can vary, so following aftercare instructions is crucial for optimal results.
