What Is Mole and Lesion Removal?
Removing moles for cosmetic or health reasons is a common dermatological procedure. Removal may be recommended to improve skin appearance or reduce irritation, whether a mole is raised, pigmented, or located in a prominent area. Mole removal on the face, in particular, requires precision to limit scarring and maintain a smooth skin surface. At Westover Hills Dermatology in San Antonio, TX, our team evaluates each growth based on its size, depth, and location to determine the safest and most effective treatment. In some cases, the mole may be examined further to rule out any potential risk of malignancy before proceeding with removal. If you are concerned about a mole or simply want clearer skin, we can walk you through your options and help you feel confident in your care.
How Does Mole and Lesion Removal Work?
The technique used to remove moles depends on several factors, including the appearance and placement of the lesion. Flat moles that sit at the surface of the skin can often be treated using nonsurgical methods. For deeper or raised moles, minor surgical excision may be recommended. During this in-office procedure, the area is numbed with local anesthesia, and the mole is carefully cut out along with a small margin of surrounding tissue. The skin is then sutured to encourage smooth healing and minimize visible marks. Our team performs these treatments with attention to detail, particularly for mole removal on the face, where cosmetic results matter most.
What Are the Benefits of Mole and Lesion Removal?
Choosing mole removal offers both cosmetic and preventive advantages. Some of the most common benefits include:
- Simple, outpatient treatment with minimal downtime
- Fast healing with low risk of complications
- Relief from irritation caused by clothing or friction
- Early identification of suspicious growths
- Prevention of potential skin cancer development
- Discreet results with little to no visible scarring
- Boost in self-confidence, especially for visible areas
