What is Mole Removal?

A mole, or nevus, is a common skin growth made up of pigment-producing cells called melanocytes. These growths can vary in color, shape, and size, appearing as flat or raised spots in shades of tan, brown, black, or red, typically developing during childhood or adolescence. While most moles are benign, changes in their appearance can sometimes signal underlying health issues, such as skin cancer.

Mole removal is a cosmetic and medical procedure that involves the excision or treatment of these moles to address aesthetic concerns or potential health risks.

Types Of Moles

While most moles are completely harmless, it is essential to get any mole checked if it changes shape, color, or size, especially if something suddenly changes after a long time. It is also important to check moles that are not easily visible, especially on the back, neck, and shoulders, which may be exposed to the sun regularly. Various types of moles can be removed, including:

  • Flat Moles – These moles are any dark spots or irregularity in the skin.

  • Raised Moles – These moles can be a variety of colors and run deeper than flat moles.

  • Congenital Moles: These are moles present at birth and can vary in size and color. Larger congenital moles may have a slightly higher risk of developing into skin cancer. 
  • Acquired Moles: These moles develop over time and can appear at any age. They often begin as flat, brown spots before becoming raised.
  • Dysplastic Nevi: Atypical moles that have irregular shapes and varying colors. These moles can be larger than average and may indicate a higher risk for melanoma.

FAQs

Mole removal can be effectively performed on several areas of the body. Common locations include the face, where moles may be removed for cosmetic enhancement or to address changes in appearance. The neck is another frequent site due to the visibility of moles and possible irritation from clothing. Moles on the arms and legs may also require removal if they become bothersome. Additionally, larger or hidden moles on the back often need careful monitoring, while those on the chest and abdomen might be removed for aesthetic reasons.

Most mole removal procedures are performed under local anesthesia, which minimizes discomfort during the procedure. Some patients may experience mild pain or discomfort afterward, which can be managed with over-the-counter pain relief.

You should consider mole removal if a mole changes in color, shape, or size, or if it becomes bothersome. Additionally, removal may be pursued for cosmetic reasons to improve the overall appearance of your skin.

Samuel ArguellesClaremont, CA
Dr. Dev and his team of wonderful ladies took great care of me. Made a consultation for a face mole I wanted to remove. The process was quick, painless, and easy. They scheduled me for a check up to see how the area was healing, which healed great with little scaring, happy with the results. Very satisfied with Dr. Dev's work. Thanks Dr. Dev and team for being professional, helpful, friendly and made the whole process smooth as can be.
John H.Sierra Madre, CA
Went to Dr. Wali after reading so many excellent reviews and seeing the before and after pictures on www.plasticsurgerysocal.com. I had a clear mole on my face near my nose that seemed to be growing and changing shape. Dr. Wali made me feel comfortable when he removed the mole which actually turned out to be basal cell carcinoma, a type of skin cancer. I'm happy to report that after following the instructions from the many follow-up appointments (at no charge) over the last six months that the area looks almost like nothing was ever there. I will definitely be going back if I run into another issue like this in the future.
Valee X.Pacoima, Los Angeles, CA
I got referred to Dr. Wali by my sister after she had her cosmetic procedure done. I came here for a mole removal and the results are phenomenal. All the staff is super friendly and caring. Dr. Wali is really good at providing explanations, answering questions, and ensuring comfort. I recommend this place!
Adrienne D.Pasadena, CA
Clean office, friendly professional staff, most importantly, competent surgeon. I went to Dr. Wali to remove a mole on my face. I am happy with my experience from consultation to after-care, and I am pleased with the results of my surgery. I recommend Dr. Wali without hesitation.
SheaB.Wheat Ridge, CO
I had a great experience with Dr. Dev Wali. I had a mole/beauty mark removed from the top part of my upper lip. The mole compromised the edge of my lip line and I was worried that it would heal oddly; and that is why I wanted to find a Doctor with an artistic eye. Dr. Wali was very honest about the potential results and my expectations for healing. He didn't rush through the procedure. He gave me thorough instructions on how to care for the wound and had me come in for follow-ups.
TabithaCorona, CA
I had an amazing experience with Dr. Wali and his staff. I came in for a mole removal after being told by a couple of doctors that it would leave a large scar on my face. Dr. Wali removed it quickly and painlessly. I just went back in yesterday for my first follow-up and the scar is undetectable. The girls in the office go over and above to make you feel comfortable and you never feel rushed when asking questions. They are the best group of girls I have come across in ANY doctor's office!
HB T.Covina, CA
My dermatologist referred me to Dr. Wali to have a mole removed (it had changed and needed a biopsy) from my nose. Due to the location of the mole there would be slight indentation and/or scarring. Dr. Wali did a great job removing it. I followed his exact instructions and so far you can't tell the mole was ever there. I will be returning to seek other services.
