Dermatologist or Cosmetic Surgeon for Mole Removal?

Noncancerous moles are not life-threatening or harmful in any way. However, many people still want to remove their moles because they are ugly and unattractive, especially when the moles are on facial skin. A dermatologist is a specialist that usually performs mole removal procedures because they specialize in skin care and treatment. You should visit a dermatologist if you need to remove small moles from your body. But a plastic surgeon may be a better option if you need to remove larger moles or moles on sensitive areas like your face. Call us at (858) 750-9312 to set up your appointment with Mole Removal San Diego today.

Mole removal procedures are performed in one of three ways:

Freezing for Mole Removal

Freezing the moles with liquid nitrogen is one popular removal method. The dermatologist applies the extremely cold liquid nitrogen to the mole on the skin tissue until the mole falls off. Blistering is a common symptom of this procedure, but it will heal in time. Dermatologists love to use the freezing option. The only downside is that the blistering could leave a small amount of scarring after it heals. That is why a plastic surgeon might be better at removing moles from your face because they can reduce scarring.

Burning for Mole Removal

Burning the moles is another removal method and the opposite of freezing. The dermatologist uses an electric wire to burn through and remove the top skin layers where the moles are located. Some dermatologists may use a laser rather than an electric wire, but the concept is still the same. Lasers are a modernized version of the burning method and help reduce scarring a lot more. You might experience some scabbing and light redness after the laser treatment, but the symptoms should diminish as time goes on. Burning is only suitable for removing moles that have not grown deep into the subdermal layers of the skin.

Surgery for Mole Removal

mole removal dermatologistTechnically, a dermatologist has the skills to perform surgical mole removal with a scalpel. But if you want to keep scarring to a minimum, it would be better to visit a plastic surgeon to get the procedure done. Plastic surgeons specialize in performing deep incisions safely and productively. If your moles are on sensitive areas of your face, such as the eyelids or mouth, you may have no choice but to get surgery. It is the best chance of reducing scarring on sensitive areas and eliminating moles that have grown deep into your skin. In addition, your plastic surgeon can perform a skin resurfacing procedure to reduce scarring as much as possible.

Radiofrequency Mole Removal in San Francisco, CA

Do you have ugly moles on your skin? Nobody likes to have moles anywhere on their bodies because they appear as raised brown lesions easily mistaken for cancerous. The good news is that most moles are not cancerous, but the bad news is they’re unattractive.

Why do moles form on the skin in the first place? Studies show that moles form on people with fair skin the most. The reasons range anywhere from lousy genetics to regular sun exposure. When too many skin pigmentation deposits get lumped together on the upper layer of the skin, they create a mole. The size of the mole depends on how many deposits got clustered together.

Mole Removal Before and After

A mole is a skin abnormality, a mass of skin cells that can appear in your early twenties on any part of the body and are more prevalent in individuals 40 and over. Moles are mostly harmless, however, if you find an oddly shaped mole on your body, the recommendation is to see a dermatologist. Mole Removal San Diego specializes in moles and mole removal when necessary. If you need mole removal or skin tag removal, give us a call today to schedule your appointment: (858) 750-9312

There are a few ways a person can develop moles on their skin and a common way is excessive sun exposure. Excessive sun exposure can create dysplastic moles, irregular shaped moles that are benign but leads to increased risk of melanoma. Genetics also plays a part in developing moles on the skin. Some individuals naturally have a high amount of melanoma and this results in numerous moles on the skin.

Normally harmless, but if the new moles on your skin look odd or different from your older moles, we recommend further examination of these new moles. Ask yourself these five simple questions regarding the appearance of your moles and if you answer ‘yes’ to any we recommend making an appointment with your dermatologist or with Mole Removal San Diego.

1. Does your mole look different on one side compared to the other half?

2. Does the outline of the mole look irregular or different from the other moles on your skin?

3. Does the mole have different colors like brown, black, tan, white, red or blue?

4. Does the mole appear to be larger than a green pea?

5. Does the mole appear to change size or shape over time?

mole removal before afterA dermatologist is the only one that can determine if a mole is cancerous. The mole will be examined thoroughly by the dermatologist, and if found to be abnormal, a tissue sample will be collected for further testing. If the lab finds the sample to be cancerous, arrangements must be made to have the entire mole removed along with surrounding areas on the skin. This is to reduce and/or eliminate the cancerous cells in the body. Mole Removal San Diego has experience with cancerous mole removals and its after care treatment.

There are five ways to remove moles, but the best treatment option should be discussed with your dermatologist as the location and size of the mole are important factors. Listed below are the five options:

Cryotherapy: Liquid Nitrogen is used on noncancerous moles that lie directly on the surface

Shave Excision: Medical grade razor or an electrode device is used to remove the mole

Punch Removal: Medical grade punch tool is used to apply pressure to the skin and twist until all layers of the skin have been cut through

Surgical Excision: Medical grade scalpel is used to slice away the mole along with the subcutaneous fat layer. Stitches will be required afterwards

Laser Mole Removal: A laser is used to absorb cells and eliminate mole tissue. This ray of light is used on sensitive and difficult to reach areas.

Your dermatologist will discuss with you everything you need to know and do before your procedure. Scars are a possibility depending on the size and location of the mole, however, Mole Removal San Diego specializes in mole removal and takes the extra step to ensure the procedure is as comfortable as possible. Before your chosen procedure, the mole and skin will be cleaned thoroughly and a numbing agent will be applied.

Like with most procedures, infections are possible. However, if you follow the aftercare guidelines and use a reputable dermatologist like Mole Removal San Diego, the possibility of infections are greatly reduced. Scarring is very possible with these types of procedures and Mole Removal San Diego takes every step needed to minimize scarring. Recovery time varies and depends on your age, health and the size mole removed. On average, the recovery process takes 2 – 3 weeks. Following the after care instructions are vital to a speedy and minimal scarring recovery.

Dermatosis Papulosa Nigra

Dermatosis papulosa nigra is a skin condition affecting the skin on the neck and face, particularly around the eyes and on the cheeks and forehead. The main symptom is small dark papules (spots) that are anywhere from 1 to 5 millimeters in diameter. The color of the spots is typically black or brown. In some cases, you’ll find the spots on the chest and back of the person as well.

It is more common for dermatosis papulosa nigra to affect people with darker skin, such as African Americans or Hispanic Americans. It is also more common for women to get this condition versus men. As the person gets older, the number of spots on their face and neck will gradually increase. Sometimes the size of the spots will also increase too. There are different scientific theories as to why this condition occurs in some people. The most popular theory is that some hair follicles in the skin do not develop completely, which influences their function. As a result, dark papules form in those areas.
The good news is that dermatosis papulosa nigra is not dangerous. However, these spots can become aesthetically unpleasing for some people, especially as they age. This can lead patients to seek treatment or removal for cosmetic reasons.

dermatosis papulosa nigra san diego

Dermatosis Papulosa Nigra

There are three primary ways to treat the appearance of dermatosis papulosa nigra. The non-surgical method is to use liquid nitrogen to freeze the papules on the skin, otherwise known as cryotherapy. Surgical techniques involve laser therapy, cutting the papules out of the skin, or using a combination of modalities. During a consultation, your doctor should explain the risks and benefits of each modality and prescribe a treatment that will be effective for your unique skin.

Unfortunately, there is no way to prevent dermatosis papulosa nigra. Genetics play a huge role in about 50% of all people who get this condition. The most recommended advice is to visit your dermatologist and learn about all your treatment options.

can a mole return

Can a Mole Return After It Is Removed?

When you get a mole removed from your skin by a dermatologist, you might think that is the end of everything. The mole is gone, and you can go about your life while never worrying about the mole ever again. Sounds good, right?

Unfortunately, this is not a realistic assumption. It is possible for a mole to return after it has been removed. It is highly unlikely in most cases, though. The only way a mole can return is if a few mole cells still exist in the skin after the mole was removed. Mole cells can cause the mole to regrow on the skin into its original shape and size.

Do not assume that mole regrowth is a sign of cancer. Noncancerous moles have the same chance of regrowth as cancerous moles do. To prevent a mole from growing back, the entire thing must be removed. This means that your dermatologist must go into the deeper layers of skin and remove the underlying base of the mole as well. You can only get this done by electing for an invasive surgical procedure.

The two main types of mole removal procedures are shave excision and surgical excision. The people who elect to get the shave excision procedure are usually the ones who experience mole regrowth because the doctor does not go deep into the skin. They only cut off the mole at the skin surface line, which leaves its underlying base intact.

Those mole cells underneath the skin surface are basically like seeds that cause the mole to regrow like a tree. You need to elect to get the surgical excision if you want to remove these cells from underneath the skin. Once you do that, you should not experience any more regrowth of your mole.

If you’re dealing with a cancerous mole, it is better to go to your doctor as quickly as possible and get it removed surgically. Even though it causes more scarring, it is worth it in the end.

Mole Removal Scar Prevention

Most people get moles removed from their skin because they are simply located in an awkward place on their body. Some people may be required to get a mole removed because it is cancerous. Either way, a mole removal procedure could leave a scar behind if not taken care of properly. If you recently had a procedure that led to a mole removal scar, continue reading for more information about scar prevention.

Three factors determine whether scarring will be left behind after a mole removal procedure. These factors are the age of the patient, the area where the mole is located on their body, and the type of mole removal surgery they get done. Obviously, you’ll want to minimize the appearance of the scar as much as possible.

The Mole Removal Process

Do not attempt to remove a mole on your own or else you will definitely scar yourself. Not only that, but you will likely cause an infection as well.

A single mole can be removed in just one visit to the doctor’s office. It will most likely be a dermatologist who performs the mole removal procedure. This could involve either a shave excision, a surgical excision procedure or Radiofrequency Procedure.

The best procedure for reducing or preventing scarring is the Radiofrequency Procedure because it does not cut deep into the skin. Instead, an electrosurgical feathering technique is performed. This technique helps blend the surrounding skin of where the mole was removed in order to make it look the same. That way, you don’t see hardly any scarring.
