Professional Mole Removal in Cincinnati - Precise, Safe Procedures

Understanding Moles and Reasons for Mole Removal

Moles, also known as nevi, are common skin growths that can appear anywhere on the body. Most moles are harmless and do not require removal. However, some moles can pose health risks or aesthetic concerns that make mole removal desirable.

Why Remove a Mole

There are a few reasons why you may want to have a mole removed:

• The mole has changed shape, color, size, or elevation
• The mole itches, bleeds, or becomes painful
• The mole is in an area where it gets irritated often
• You simply do not like the appearance of the mole

Moles that become cancerous or could potentially lead to melanoma also need removal. An experienced dermatologist can determine if your mole is harmless or requires removal.

Types of Mole Removal

There are a few methods available for mole removal in Cincinnati:

• Shave removal - The protruding part of the mole is shaved off using a scalpel blade
• Punch excision - A tool is used to scoop out the mole and some surrounding skin
• Surgical excision - The mole and some surrounding skin is cut out with a scalpel
• Laser removal - A focused laser beam is used to vaporize the mole
• Cryotherapy - Liquid nitrogen is used to freeze and remove the mole

The specific technique used will depend on factors like the mole's size, location, and whether the entire growth needs removal or just part of it. Your doctor will recommend the best method for your case.

FAQs

What does the mole removal process involve?

The mole removal process involves numbing the skin with an injection, removing the mole using the chosen technique, stopping any bleeding, dressing the area, and sending any suspicious moles for biopsy. Follow-up care helps ensure proper healing. The whole process usually takes less than 30 minutes. You can resume normal activities with minimal lifestyle interference as the area heals.

Will mole removal at Zero Gravity leave a scar?

Our skilled practitioners remove moles precisely in the least invasive way possible to leave virtually no scarring. Optimal healing also helps minimize any marks. The majority of our patients report zero to negligible scars that fade over time.

How long is recovery after mole removal?

It typically takes about 1 week for the skin to heal enough to remove the initial bandage. Follow-up care helps optimize healing. For excision procedures where stitches close the wound, those dissolve or get removed in 10-14 days. Most patients can resume work and normal activities the next day with little lifestyle impact.

Is mole removal done under general anesthesia?

No, our procedures use only local anesthesia to numb the mole and nearby skin during removal. We avoid complications from general anesthesia. The numbing keeps you comfortable as we precisely eliminate the mole. Most of our patients report little to no pain during or after our gentle procedures.
