Cosmetic removal of moles is one of the most popular cosmetic dermatology procedures today. Although most people refer to any non-acne bump on the skin as a "mole," many different varieties of skin lesions exist. Dr. Yagudin uses a variety of techniques to remove moles. The technique depends on the diagnosis and the severity of the condition.

Fortunately, we have a number of safe and non-invasive ways to remove unsightly growths, especially on the face or sensitive areas of the body. Different growths need different procedures, so it's important to discuss the pros and cons of each method with your doctor before you decide to take the plunge. One of the most popular and advanced methods for removal of a non cancerous skin growth in cosmetic sensetive areas of the body is blade-free Radiosurgery.

Blade-free Radiosurgery is a safe and stress-free way to remove benign skin lesions. Radio waves replace a scalpel to make a bloodless, micro-smooth incision. Instead of pressure or cutting, with radiosurgery, high-frequency sound does the job using a programmable wand-like instrument.
With radiosurgery, you have virtually no risk of scarring because it causes minimal damage to the surrounding skin. Because you don't have any bleeding or pain, radiosurgery is especially useful for treating the face. For many patients, the injection of a small amount of anesthetic is the only discomfort they feel.
Moles, skin tags, warts, and other raised lesions, as well as sun spots and facial veins can all be treated with radiosurgery. After the procedure, all that remains of the original lesion is a raw, smooth, but non-bleeding area. A scab forms, and within two weeks the scab is replaced with a fresh layer of healthy skin that is the same color as the surrounding tissue.

Why remove a mole?
Most people with facial moles feel a bit self-conscious about them. Removing those lumps isn't about vanity; it's about a boost to confidence and self-esteem. Another reason to remove moles, cysts, warts, and skin tags is that in some cases they can be painful or restrict normal movement.
Health concerns are an even more important consideration. Skin cancer is always a danger with mole-like lesions that are multicolored or irregular in shape. While most simple moles are benign (non-cancerous), it's a good idea to have lesions removed and tested.
Whether your moles make you worry about skin cancer, or just make you frown when you look in the mirror, at Dermacare Medical, Dr. Yagudin can make the process of removing moles relatively simple, fast, and pain free.
