Doctors use different methods to remove moles, depending on their size, type, and whether they are harmless or suspicious.
Common Mole Removal Methods:
Surgical Excision – The doctor numbs the area, cuts out the mole with a scalpel, and stitches the skin. Best for larger or deeper moles.
Shave Removal – The doctor numbs the area and shaves off the mole with a surgical blade. No stitches needed. Best for raised moles.
Laser Removal – A laser light targets the mole and breaks it down. Best for small, flat, and pigmented moles.
Cryotherapy (Freezing) – Liquid nitrogen freezes the mole, causing it to fall off. Best for small, non-cancerous moles.
Which Method is Best?
If the mole is suspicious or changing, doctors prefer excision for lab testing.
If the mole is small and harmless, laser or shaving may be used.
