Mole Removal Burbank
Moles are a familiar occurrence, considered abnormal growths on the skin. It is a fact that the average person has between 10 and 40 moles on their body, as reported by the American Academy of Dermatology. While most moles are harmless, some individuals opt for their removal due to cosmetic concerns or if a mole is causing skin irritation. Nonetheless, it is crucial to note that certain moles have the potential to become cancerous, leading individuals to choose their removal.
Our team, led by Dr. Ardesh is highly skilled in mole removal in Burbank. Whether you have cosmetic or pre-cancerous concerns, we are here to assist you.
Types of Moles
There is a wide range of shapes and sizes when it comes to moles, encompassing flat moles, raised moles, and pre-cancerous moles. Flat moles are typically small, dark spots on the skin, while raised moles can vary in size and color, often extending beneath the skin's surface. Moles, whether flat or raised, can exhibit diverse textures. For individuals who are concerned about the appearance of moles, especially on the face or neck, opting for removal is a common decision.
Pre-cancerous moles are a grave concern. They often undergo noticeable changes in size, shape, and color and may even bleed. If you notice any of these signs, it is vital to promptly have the mole inspected by your dermatologist. During the examination, they will assess the mole using the ABCDEs, which represent Asymmetry, Border, Color, Diameter, and Evolution.

What To Expect with Your Mole Removal
Before

They will develop a personalized treatment plan for you and provide detailed explanations for any recommended mole removal procedures. Feel free to ask any questions you have during this process.
During
The procedure chosen for mole removal is dependent on the specific type of mole, with most procedures being straightforward and taking less than one hour.
To ensure your comfort during the procedure, a local anesthetic will be applied to the area. If the mole is on the surface of the skin, it can be easily shaved off. However, if the mole goes deeper, Dr. Ardesh will use a laser to remove it. Multiple laser treatments may be required depending on the mole's depth.
If you are unable to shave or undergo laser treatment, Dr. Ardesh and his team can surgically remove the mole for you.
Rest assured, all of these treatments are simple and do not require much downtime.
After
Mole removal with Dr. Ardesh and his team usually results in a quick recovery, often within two weeks. Applying sunscreen to the treated area post-removal is advisable to protect the skin and support ongoing healing.
