Removal of moles in Dnipro

At the "Helyos" Surgery and Rehabilitation Center, mole (nevus) removal is also performed using outpatient surgery. This procedure includes several stages:

1.Consultation with the doctor: Initially, the doctor examines the mole and determines whether there are indications for its removal. If necessary, additional studies (such as dermatoscopy) may be prescribed to assess the type of mole and its potential risk.

2.Choice of removal method: Moles can be removed using various methods, including:

Laser removal: Suitable for small moles.
Surgical removal: For moles that are larger or raise concerns about their nature.
Radio wave surgery: Provides precise and painless removal.

3.Procedure: The removal is performed on an outpatient basis. The procedure usually does not require hospitalization and is done under local anesthesia.

4.Post-operative care: After mole removal, the doctor will provide recommendations on wound care to prevent infection or scarring.

5.Follow-up examinations: After a certain period, a follow-up visit may be scheduled to check the healing process and ensure there are no complications.

Mole removal procedure at the "Helyos" Surgery and Rehabilitation Center:

1.Consultation and preparation:

The doctor first examines the mole and evaluates its condition to determine if removal is necessary. If there are doubts or suspicions of a dangerous nature, additional examinations (dermatoscopy, biopsy) may be prescribed.
The doctor then determines the optimal removal method depending on the size, type, and location of the mole.

2.Anesthesia:

The procedure is done under local anesthesia. The doctor anesthetizes the area around the mole so that the patient does not feel pain during the surgery. This usually takes a few minutes.

3.Mole removal:

Laser removal: The doctor uses a laser for precise and safe mole removal. The laser helps minimize bleeding and speeds up the healing process.
Surgical removal: If the mole is large or suspected to be malignant, the doctor may use standard surgical removal, which involves cutting out the mole with a small margin of healthy tissue to prevent recurrence.
Radio wave surgery: This method is used for precise removal without direct contact with the tissue, reducing skin trauma.

4.Stopping bleeding:

After the mole is removed, the doctor treats the wound to stop any possible bleeding and applies a dressing.

5.Post-operative care:

The doctor provides instructions on how to care for the wound, including how to treat the area, when to change dressings, and which products to use to prevent infection.
Typically, no prolonged rehabilitation is needed, and the patient can return to regular life, but it is important to avoid injury to the wound.

6.Follow-up examinations:

A visit to the doctor is necessary a few weeks after the procedure to check the healing process and, if needed, for the results of histological testing (if performed).

The mole removal procedure usually takes from 15 to 30 minutes, depending on the complexity.

Consultations and mole removal procedures are typically brief, and patients can return to their normal lives in a short period. To schedule a consultation, you can contact the "Helyos" centers.
