Mole Removal Calabasas
Moles are a common skin condition, characterized by abnormal growths. In fact, the American Academy of Dermatology states that most individuals have 10 to 40 moles on their body. Although many moles are harmless, some people opt to have them removed for cosmetic purposes or if they cause skin irritation. It is important to note that certain moles can be or become cancerous, prompting individuals to seek removal.
Our team, led by Dr. Ardesh, has extensive experience in mole removal in Calabasas. Whether you have cosmetic worries or pre-cancerous concerns, we are here to assist you professionally.
Types of Moles
Moles are a common occurrence that can vary in appearance and characteristics. They can be flat or raised, and even have different colors. Some moles may even be precancerous. Flat moles are typically small dark spots on the skin, while raised moles can range in size and color, often extending below the skin's surface. Both types can have various textures. For those who are unhappy with the moles on their skin, especially when situated on the face or neck, removal is an option to consider.
Pre-cancerous moles can be a cause for concern. These moles often show signs of change in size, shape, and color, and may even bleed. If you notice any of these symptoms, it is important to have your mole checked by a dermatologist right away. The dermatologist will evaluate the mole based on the ABCDEs, which stands for Asymmetry, Border, Color, Diameter, and Evolution.

What To Expect with Your Mole Removal
Before
When you come in for a consultation with Dr. Ardesh and his team, they will carefully examine your moles and listen to your worries. Based on their evaluation, they will create a personalized treatment plan. If the removal of your mole is advised, they will walk you through the procedure and address any queries you may have.
During
The specific type of mole removal procedure you undergo will be determined by the nature of the mole. Typically, these procedures are straightforward and take 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. If the mole goes deeper into the skin, a laser will be used for removal. In some cases, multiple laser treatments may be necessary, depending on the depth of the mole.
If you can't shave or opt for laser treatment, Dr. Ardesh and his team will surgically remove the mole for you.
Both options are simple and have minimal recovery time.
After
Typically, patients experience a swift recovery, often within two weeks, following mole removal with Dr. Ardesh and his team. It is recommended to apply sunscreen to the treated area after removal to shield the skin and aid in the healing process.

Get Mole Removal From the Best
Achieving a fresh and improved appearance should always be the primary goal of a surgeon, even when it comes to mole removal. However, not all plastic surgeons possess the same level of expertise, education, and innate talent. To achieve beautiful results, it is crucial to carefully listen to your desired outcome, build a strong connection, and foster open and honest communication.
