Mole Removal

Moles are generally benign lesions that you may wish to remove for cosmetic reasons. They may interfere with the wearing of eyeglasses, jewellery or possibly bleed when shaving. If a mole is suspicious, meaning it has changed in colour or shape, or is bleeding spontaneously, you should see your family physician or walk–in clinic to have them fax us a referral please at the Institute of Cosmetic and Laser Surgery. Moles come in a variety of shapes, sizes and colours. The most appropriate removal technique depends upon the type, colour and location of the mole itself. Skin tags are often flesh coloured and are a result of the repeated rubbing of skin and most often appear in the underarms, chest and neck.

Moles can be removed using a variety of methods. Most moles respond well to a procedure called a “shave” technique, where a small amount of local anaesthetic is injected and then the mole is simply shaved off. There are no sutures required as an application of aluminum chloride will immediately stop any bleeding. Laser removal of moles is also possible depending on the type of mole.
