Mole & Skin Tag Removal

At DRV skin, our team is extensively trained to recognize suspicious lesions. Before cosmetic mole removal, our doctor will perform a thorough skin evaluation of the mole. For moles that are slightly raised and very superficial, these can be removed either by a shave excision or by laser treatment. Local anaesthetic is used prior to the procedure and it heals with a small scab.

For larger areas or on areas on the face, either a laser is used or a special instrument to gently shave the mole off, not leaving any scars. Skin tags are removed painlessly by safe laser treatments.

Most moles are benign, meaning that they are harmless, but some moles can be dangerous, especially if they are cancerous. It is always important to get your mole checked by a doctor trained in identifying cancerous moles, prior to removing it. 

Skin tags are painless, benign growths that are often thickened and form due to areas of friction. They can be very unsightly and often can get inflamed due to rubbing against clothing.
