What is Mole Removal?

Mole removal is a medical and cosmetic procedure used to eliminate moles, skin growths, or suspicious lesions from the skin’s surface. Depending on the mole’s location, size, and characteristics, different mole removal methods may be recommended.

Common reasons for mole removal include:

  • Cosmetic concerns about a mole’s appearance
  • Skin irritation from clothing, jewelry, or shaving
  • Suspicious moles with irregular borders or color changes
  • Reducing skin cancer risks by removing cancerous moles

Mole removal is a quick in-office visit that allows patients to return to daily activities with minimal scarring and a smooth healing process.

Mole Removal Methods

Moles come in all shapes and sizes, and so do the techniques used to remove them. At ARC Plastic Surgery, Dr. Jeremy White tailors every mole removal procedure to the patient, ensuring the best balance of aesthetics and skin health. Whether you're removing a mole for cosmetic reasons or because it has been flagged as a cancerous mole, here’s what you need to know about the two most common mole removal methods:

Shave Excision

If your mole is small and raised and doesn’t require deep removal, shave excision might be the best approach. This method involves gently shaving the mole down with a surgical blade so it blends with the surrounding skin. Since it doesn’t require stitches, the healing process is quick and straightforward.

  • No stitches needed – The skin heals naturally on its own
  • Minimal downtime – Most patients recover in about a week
  • Great for non-cancerous moles – A simple solution for cosmetic concerns

Shave excision is a popular choice for common skin growths that are more of a nuisance than a medical issue. If a mole has been rubbing against clothing, causing skin irritation, or is simply in a spot you don’t love, this technique offers a fast, effective fix with minimal scarring.

Full Excision with Sutures

If a mole is larger, cancerous, or has an irregular shape, a full excision is usually the safest option. This surgical procedure removes the entire mole, including a small margin of surrounding tissue, to ensure that all potentially cancerous cells are eliminated.

  • Complete removal – Reduces the risk of regrowth
  • Best for atypical or cancerous moles – Ensures peace of mind with thorough removal
  • Stitches promote proper healing – Helps achieve a smoother, more refined result

Dr. White’s approach is all about precision. By removing only the necessary tissue, he minimizes scarring while making sure you’re left with healthy, clear skin. If needed, further treatment options will be discussed to ensure your long-term skin health.

Who is a Candidate for Mole Removal?

You may be a good candidate for mole removal surgery if you:

  • Have atypical moles with irregular shape or rapid growth
  • Experience skin irritation from moles rubbing against clothing
  • Want a mole removed for cosmetic purposes
  • Have a family history of skin cancer and want a mole checked

If you have a mole that concerns you, scheduling a follow-up appointment with a mole removal doctor is the best way to determine the right treatment options.

Consultation and Preparation

During your consultation, Dr. White will examine the mole’s appearance, size, and location to determine the best mole removal method. If necessary, a punch biopsy may be performed to assess the presence of cancerous cells before recommending surgical procedures.

Preparation for mole removal may include:

  • Avoiding excessive sun exposure to the area before treatment
  • Stopping certain medications that may affect healing
  • Discussing any allergies or past skin conditions

The Mole Removal Procedure

  • Step 1: Local Anesthesia – A local anesthetic is applied to numb the area, ensuring a painless experience.
  • Step 2: Mole Removal – Depending on the technique, a surgical blade may be used for shave excision, or a deeper surgical excision may be performed.
  • Step 3: Closure (if needed) – Sutures may be placed for full excision cases to ensure proper healing.
  • Step 4: Bandaging and Aftercare – The area is cleaned, and a dressing is applied to protect the excised mole site.

Before your procedure, Dr. White will walk you through every step of the process so you feel fully informed and confident in your transformation.
