Moles are common skin growths that many people have on their face or body. While most are harmless, some people choose to remove them for cosmetic reasons, discomfort, or health concerns. Here’s a clear FAQ to help you understand mole removal before booking your procedure.
1. What is mole removal?
Mole removal is a medical or cosmetic procedure to take off moles — usually benign skin growths. It can be done for health reasons (e.g., cancer risk) or appearance concerns.
2. Why might you want to remove a mole?
Common reasons include:
✔ Improving appearance and self-confidence
✔ Removing moles that rub against clothing or cause irritation
✔ Reducing potential cancer risk (if mole appears abnormal)
✔ Eliminating discomfort or itching
These benefits can improve both skin health and confidence. Medico Global Clinic
3. What removal methods are available?
Medico Global Clinic uses several approaches depending on the mole’s size, type, and location:
Shave Excision
Mole is shaved off with a scalpel under local anesthesia.
Quick and straightforward, no stitches.
Mole may partly remain under the skin and could possibly grow back in rare cases. Medico Global Clinic
Surgical Excision
Mole and a small surrounding margin of skin are cut out.
Small stitches might be needed.
Best for deeply rooted moles. Medico Global Clinic
Laser Mole Removal
Laser light breaks down the pigment in the mole gradually.
Often suitable for benign, non-cancerous moles.
Minimal discomfort and scarring. Medico Global Clinic
4. Does mole removal hurt?
Most patients feel minimal discomfort due to local anesthesia. Laser removal may feel like mild stinging or snapping. Overall, pain is generally mild and tolerable. Medico Global Clinic
5. Will the mole grow back after removal?
Sometimes, yes — depending on the method and how deep the mole’s root reached. If mole cells remain after the first treatment, it may reappear. Additional treatment may be needed in such cases. Medico Global Clinic
6. Is there scarring after mole removal?
Any skin wound can leave a scar — but proper technique and aftercare usually make scars fade over time. Laser and shave methods tend to have smaller, less visible marks than deeper excisions.
7. What is the recovery like?
Most people heal in about 1–2 weeks.
You may see temporary redness or scabbing where the mole was removed.
Follow post-procedure care instructions to reduce infection risk and help healing.
8. Can I remove a mole at home?
No.Home remedies are not recommended. They can cause infection, scarring, or incomplete removal. Always let a qualified professional assess and remove moles safely.
9. Is a consultation necessary first?
Yes! A doctor evaluates your mole to determine the safest and most effective removal method for your specific case.
