Mole / Skin Tag Removal

---

Cutting it off

Skin tags may be snipped off with a scalpel or surgical scissors. Some moles can be "shaved" off flush with the skin. Other moles may have cells that go underneath the skin, so a deeper cut may be needed to remove the entire mole and prevent it from growing back. This cut may require stitches.

Freezing it with liquid nitrogen

We can swab or spray a small amount of super-cold liquid nitrogen on the mole or skin tag. You might have a small blister where the mole or skin tag was, but it will heal on its own. Multiple sessions might be needed to achieve the desired results.

Burning it off

An electric current passes through a metallic tip that becomes hot and is used to burn off the upper layers of the skin. You may need more than one treatment to remove a mole. Skin tags are removed by burning through the narrow stem that attaches them to the skin. The heat helps prevent bleeding.

No Treatment

As mentioned above, most moles and skin tags don't require treatment.

Every patient is unique in their goals and how their mole presents itself, which ultimately determines the technique required for mole removal . All these procedures are purely elective and will be done under local anesthesia in sterile conditions by Dr. Ali Famouri at Dundarave Medical Clinic.
