Almost everyone develops moles or skin tags at some point in their lives. While most are harmless, they can sometimes be irritating, cosmetically unappealing, or located in areas where they snag on clothing or jewelry. In some cases, moles may also show changes that warrant medical evaluation to rule out skin cancer.
If you’re bothered by the appearance or discomfort of these growths, Mole and Skin Tag Removal offers a safe, effective solution to restore smoother, clearer skin. Modern techniques allow for quick, minimally invasive removal with minimal discomfort and little to no downtime.
Moles (Nevi): Small clusters of pigmented skin cells that can appear flat or raised, and range in color from flesh-toned to dark brown. Most are benign but should be monitored for changes in size, shape, or color.
Skin Tags (Acrochordons): Soft, flesh-colored growths that commonly appear on the neck, eyelids, armpits, or under the breasts. They are completely harmless but can be bothersome or unsightly.
Both moles and tags can be easily removed in-office using precise techniques that minimize scarring and promote fast healing.
Mole and skin tag removal is a simple outpatient procedure performed under local anesthesia to ensure comfort. The process typically takes 15 to 30 minutes, depending on the number and size of the growths.
Your dermatologist or specialist will evaluate the area and choose the best removal method based on your skin type and the lesion’s characteristics. Common techniques include:
Shave Excision: The mole or tag is carefully shaved off the skin’s surface using a surgical blade.
Cryotherapy: Liquid nitrogen is used to freeze and remove the lesion.
Laser Removal: A focused laser beam vaporizes the growth with minimal impact on surrounding tissue.
Surgical Excision: For deeper moles, a small incision is made to remove the entire growth, often followed by a few tiny sutures.
If there’s any concern about a mole’s nature, the removed tissue may be sent for a biopsy to ensure it’s benign.
Recovery after mole or tag removal is generally quick and straightforward. You may experience mild redness, swelling, or scabbing at the treatment site, which usually resolves within a few days to a week.
Keep the area clean, apply any recommended ointment, and avoid direct sun exposure while healing. Most patients can return to work or normal activities immediately.
Once healed, you’ll notice smoother, clearer skin — and in most cases, no visible scarring.
Quick and Painless: Most procedures take less than 30 minutes with little discomfort.
Safe and Effective: Performed by trained professionals using sterile techniques.
Improved Appearance: Eliminates unwanted bumps for clearer, smoother skin.
Enhanced Comfort: Removes irritation caused by rubbing or friction.
Peace of Mind: Suspicious moles can be evaluated to rule out cancerous changes.

If you’re unsure about a mole’s nature, it’s important to have it professionally examined before removal. Early detection of abnormal growths can help prevent more serious skin conditions.
Proper aftercare ensures optimal healing and minimal scarring:
Keep the area clean and dry for the first 24 hours.
Avoid picking or scratching the site as it heals.
Apply sunscreen to prevent pigmentation changes.
Follow your provider’s post-procedure instructions carefully.
In most cases, the skin heals beautifully, leaving little to no trace of the procedure.
