If you are thinking about removing a mole, of course, you should go to a clinic.
The only problem is that they offer different ways of performing this procedure, so sometimes patients get confused and don’t know which option to use.
If the formation is suspicious, then only the traditional method is suitable for its removal. It involves excising the mole with a scalpel, after which the material is subjected to histological examination.
If you want to get rid of a nevus without getting scars, try using a less traumatic method – radio wave.
It causes minimal damage to the skin and does not exclude the possibility of subsequent histological examination.
If we talk about laser removal, this method is usually used when there is a need for vascular skin lesions, age pigmentation and skin resurfacing.
It is not recommended to use it for melanocytic neoplasms.
However, the only correct decision for a person who has decided to remove a mole is a face-to-face consultation with a doctor who will take tissue for examination and draw a conclusion based on the results.
And finally: do not try to get rid of a mole on your own under any circumstances – you are putting yourself at great risk.
For reference
Moles are congenital pigmented or non-pigmented formations on the skin, mucous membranes, choroid and iris, arising from melanocytes and having various colors - brown, black, red, purple and others.
