Mole Removal Singapore

We recommend Laser Mole Removal.

At Bio Aesthetic Laser Clinic, laser mole removal is our preferred method for cosmetic removal and moles with no suspicion of cancer. Laser method removes unwanted moles without harming the skin cells around them and most importantly, it has the lowest risk for scars after the procedure. The procedure is minimally invasive and usually heals quickly with no downtime. The removal process might require a few sessions depending on the mole. For patients sensitive to pain, numbing cream / local anaesthesia can be applied to make it comfortable.

Electrocautery / Cauterisation mole removal

Cauterisation is a surgical procedure that involves the use of heat to remove the mole. It is another common approach for extracting moles have no suspicion of cancer. The mole’s surface would be heated using a sophisticated cauterisation instrument, allowing it to vaporise. Scraping could be needed for larger moles.

Surgical Excision 

Surgical excision is the recommended solution when a mole suspected of being skin cancers. A local anaesthetic will be used to ease the procedure. The mole and a small amount of skin covering the region are cut out with a scalpel in this process, ensuring that more pigment cells are removed completely. Cutting out these moles normally necessitates a few stitches and leaves a thin scar that can fade with time. The excised mole will be sent away for histological examination, and you will be informed of the findings in clinic.

There is always a risk of skin scarring when performing mole removal. However, the scarring can be reduced by proper skin preparation before and repositioning the entry so as to mitigate the damage to underlying skin. The post care treatment is very important too. It is always advised to have ample sun protection (at least SPF30+) applied everyday after the procedure.

Mole removal has a higher risk to leave a scar for patients with deeper moles, even with an experienced doctor. The best method with the lowest risk of scarring is Laser Mole Removal through a CO2 Laser.

For the vast majority of patients, one session would suffice. However, based on the treatment used, certain patients can experience early recurrence and need further sessions to be completely free of the mole. However, if a mole is found to be cancerous, a formal surgical excision with margins is expected.

For certain moles that are deeply rooted, our doctor will advise to perform the mole removal over a few sessions ensure lower risk of scarring. We will reassess in a week’s time to determine whether more sessions are required.

The pain level of mole removal is primarily determined by the form of elimination. Depending on the process of removal, a local anaesthetic is normally administered as an injection or as a cream. In most cases, this is tolerable. Most patients are not concerned with the treatment after the anaesthetic wears off. As pain is subjective between individuals, most feedback for pain is tolerable.

Topical anesthesia (numbing cream) and/or local anesthesia can be used prior to the procedure.

In order for our Doctor to determine whether a mole requires further assessment, we can adopt the ABCDE method. It is a standard guideline to determine whether the mole is safe. ABCDE is an acronym for:

Asymmetry: Whether the mole structure is irregular and asymmetrical
Border: The mole’s boundaries are asymmetrical, or the mole is bleeding
Colour: The mole is coloured in a variety of colours, not just one shade.
Diameter: The mole is greater than 6mm in size
Evolve: Whether the mole has increased in size over time

Typically, if there is an increased in size, changes in colour, bleeding mole or history of skin cancer in the family, it is advised to seek a skin specialist for further assessment. In most cases, mole removal can be acheived with Fractional Co2 Laser.

During the post treatment care after mole removal, antiseptic cream will be applied to the wound after the mole is removed to prevent infection. Before applying the antiseptic solution, patients should wash or cleanse the wound with water or regular saline, softly patting it dry.

Expect 3-7 days of scabbing, followed by a pink to red stain that lasts a few days before returning to the natural skin colour.

The cosmetic result is usually favourable, especially when the mole is small and shallow. If the mole is a larger and deeper lesion, a small dent is probable.

Recurrence of the mole is likely, and care could be needed again in some cases. A follow-up visit 1-2 months later to assess recovery and recurrence could be needed.

The general answer is No. The exact origin of moles is unknown. In most cases, it’s believed to be a mixture of genetic conditions and sun exposure. Moles appear in infancy and puberty, and their size and colour change as you get older. When the hormone levels shift, such as during pregnancy, new moles are normal.

HOW ARE MOLES FORMED?

The exact origin of moles is unknown. In most cases, it’s believed to be a mixture of genetic conditions and sun exposure. Moles appear in infancy and puberty, and their size and colour change as you get older. When the hormone levels shift, such as during pregnancy, new moles are normal.

The majority of moles have a diameter of less than 1/4 inch. The color of a mole can vary from pink to dark brown or black. They can appear everywhere on your body, in groups or alone.

Almost any mole is harmless (noncancerous). Adults, on the other hand, are more likely than children to develop cancerous moles. When a new mole grows as you get older, or if an existing mole varies in shape, visit a dermatologist to ensure it isn’t cancerous.

Congenital moles are moles that appear at birth.

Birthmarks are moles that come in a variety of sizes, shapes, and colors. A congenital mole affects 0.2 to 2.1 percent of all children. When an infant is older, say, 10 to 12 years old and more able to handle local anesthetic, certain birthmarks can be handled for aesthetic purposes. There are several treatment services available, including:

• Electrocautery
• Top skin layers are shaved (surgical excision).
• Laser ablation for lightening organic peel for lightening (CO2 Laser)

Adults with bigger congenital moles are more likely to develop cancer (4 to 6 percent lifetime risk). A doctor should be contacted if a birthmark varies in scale, colour, form, or discomfort.

What is a mole?

Moles are a form of skin growth that is very natural. Clusters of pigmented cells allow them to appear as tiny, dark brown spots on the skin. Moles are most common in infancy and puberty. The average person has 10 to 40 moles, some of which may change or disappear over time.

The majority of moles are completely harmless. They only become cancerous in a limited number of cases. Skin cancer, especially malignant melanoma, can be detected by keeping an eye on moles and other pigmented patches.

Nevi is the medicinal name for moles.

Moles are formed when pigmented cells clusters together. Most moles developed are harmless and can be easily removed using Fractional Co2 lasers. Often times, moles can be confused with other skin bumps such as skin tag, warts & seborrheic keratosis.

The average individual will have 12 – 40 moles over their lifespan. It is important to let your doctor assess it before removal as some moles may become cancerous. The right assessment will ensure permanent removal with no complications.

How to remove moles?

Moles are generally removed through 3 common methods: CO2 laser removal, electrocautery, or surgical excision. All 3 methods are effective, however, it really depends on the kind of mole you have. Typically, moles will first be assessed to determine whether they have a suspicion of cancer before committing to a treatment.
