Mole Removal in Hyderabad

As per NCI, moles is a benign (not cancer) growth on the skin that is formed by a cluster of melanocytes (cells that make your skin pigment melanin, which gives color to skin and eyes). A mole is usually dark and may be raised from the skin. Also called nevus. Most people have 10 to 45 moles that appear during childhood and the teenage years. How these moles look may change over time. 

Firstly, especially in Indians who are not prone to a skin cancer type called “Melanoma”, moles are removed purely for cosmetic reasons. However, sometimes odd or suspicious looking moles, also known as dysplastic moles are removed for medical reasons as well. In case you see a mole that appears irregular in shape or has grown suddenly, then it may not be a mole at all. But by and large, it is not necessary to remove moles. However, if a mole makes you conscious or looks odd cosmetically, then it can easily be removed.

Moles are often benign and particularly non-hazardous in Indian Skin tone. Darker skin tones have much lesser risk for a skin cancer type. However, in some cases, especially when the mole changes in size, shape, or color can indicate potential health risks. In such cases it is important to consult with an expert doctor

Moles can easily be removed using 2 different options:

1. Mole removal by Fractional Lasers (Non-surgical mole removal)
2. Mole removal by CO2 Lasers (Non-surgical mole removal)
3. Surgical Mole excision (Non-surgical mole removal)

Moles are most commonly removed by 2 Medical Specialties – Dermatologists and Cosmetic Surgeons. While dermatologists can use lasers for mole removal, they typically don’t do surgical mole excision. Cosmetic and plastic surgeons can do lasers as well as surgical removal. 

The choice between CO2 laser and surgical excision depends on factors like mole size, location, and patient preferences. CO2 lasers are ideal for smaller and superficial moles, while surgical excision is effective for larger or more complex cases. In cases where the moles are flat or wide, then fractional lasers can be used to lighten the skin area. 

At Personiks, we offer all the available treatment options of fractional laser, ablative (CO2) laser and surgical mole removal. We also do complex large mole excisions which may require a more personalized and elaborate procedure. 

CO2 laser mole removal involves using a focused beam of light to vaporize the mole tissue. This precise and non-invasive method is suitable for smaller moles, often with no or minimal scarring. It can easily be used for moles on the face due to its non-scarring outcome.

Surgical excision entails cutting out the mole along with a margin of surrounding tissue. This method is effective for larger moles and provides a histopathological analysis of the removed tissue. It can also be used for recurrent moles, deep seated moles, or suspicious looking moles. 

Mole removal is performed under local anesthesia to minimize discomfort and give a painless experience. The procedure is well-tolerated, and our team ensures a comfortable experience for our patients. So pain should be the last thing on your mind while coming to Personiks. 

Recovery is very simple in mole removal. The procedure takes maximum 30 minutes and patient is discharged immediately with a small dressing. The recovery is faster with CO2 lasers. For large moles where large surgical excision was performed, then the time for keeping on the dressing might be longer. 

Absolutely. Patients can resume normal activities shortly after mole removal. Our team will provide personalized post-procedure guidelines to ensure a smooth recovery.

Insurance typically covers mole removal only if there are medical indications. Cosmetic mole removal is generally considered elective and is not covered by insurance.

However, do not worry we have transparent pricing for mole removal and the price range starts from as low as 3k to 15k. For larger moles requiring grafts or flaps a customized quote will be given.
