When Should a Mole Be Removed?
- The mole has changed shape, size, or color.
- The edges have become uneven, cracks or bleeding appear.
- The mole itches, hurts, or causes discomfort.
- It is located in areas of constant friction or injury (neck, bra line, armpits, feet).
- There is suspicion of malignant transformation.
Mole Removal Methods at the "Helyos" Surgery and Rehabilitation Center
At "Helyos", the most modern and effective mole removal methods are used, chosen based on the size, location, and type of mole, as well as the individual characteristics of the patient.
1️.Laser Mole Removal
- Laser removal is one of the most modern and minimally invasive methods. Laser technology allows for precise and painless removal of moles without leaving scars.
Process: A laser beam is directed at the mole, causing the tissue to evaporate, allowing the mole to be removed without bleeding.
Advantages:
- High precision without damaging surrounding tissues.
- Minimal pain and quick healing.
- No scarring, making it ideal for removing moles on the face or other exposed areas of the body.
Suitable for: Small and medium-sized moles without suspicion of malignancy.
2️.Radio Wave Removal (Electrocoagulation)
- This method uses radio waves to remove the mole and coagulate blood vessels, minimizing bleeding during the procedure.
Process: A radio wave knife precisely removes the mole while simultaneously cauterizing the tissue, ensuring no bleeding.
Advantages:
- Contactless method.
- Quick healing with minimal skin trauma.
- No scarring after healing.
Suitable for: Medium-sized moles that are not suspected of malignant transformation. Often used for sensitive areas of the body.
3️.Surgical Removal of Moles
- Surgical removal is used for larger moles that may be suspicious or require histological analysis.
Process: Under local anesthesia, the surgeon removes the mole with a scalpel and then applies stitches for healing.
Advantages:
- Necessary for large or suspicious moles.
- Allows for histological examination.
- Precisely removes all mole tissue.
Suitable for: Large or deep moles or those requiring further laboratory analysis (e.g., to check for cancer cells).
4️.Cryodestruction (Freezing)
- This method uses liquid nitrogen to remove the mole by freezing the tissue.
Process: The mole is treated with liquid nitrogen, causing the tissue to freeze, die, and detach.
Advantages:
- Contactless method, minimizing pain.
- Quick healing with no bleeding.
- Ideal for removing small moles.
Suitable for: Small benign growths that do not require histological analysis.
