What is a
mole?
A mole is a benign skin lesion that is usually black
or dark brown in color, is round in shape, and may or
may not be raised off the the skin. Many people
request mole removal for cosmetic reasons.
How
is a mole removed?
At the Medispa Institute, we utilize a
state-of-the-art high frequency radiowave device to
remove your mole with minimal pain and
discomfort.
Is the removal
painful?
No. Most people don't feel more than a pinch.
How many
treatments does it take?
For scarless mole removal, several sessions may be
necessary, spaced a minimum of one month apart. The
root of the mole often sits low beneath the skin. If
we remove the entire lesion in one session, this may
result in a depression scar.
How do you rule
out cancerous lesions?
Any mole that is questionable in appearance is sent to
for a pathology review. You will be informed prior to
treatment if we believe this to be necessary and
additional charges may apply.
Will it leave a
scar?
In most cases, there is no scarring. Scarring is
dependent on your skin's ability to heal properly.
Therefore, if your skin normally scars, there is a
possibility that you may scar as a result of this
procedure. We will examine you prior to the treatment
and inform you if we think there is a possibility of
scarring.
Will I be able
to put on makeup and go back to work after the
procedure?
If we are removing a small lesion, you should be able
to go back to work immediately with a small bandaid.
We ask that you refrain from applying makeup to the
treated area until it is healed.
Is
the procedure covered by insurance?
No. Moles that are removed for cosmetic reasons are
not covered by insurance. If you suspect skin cancer,
you may go to a dermatologist and request an exam and
removal for medical reasons.
