Types of moles and non-cancerous moles 

It is common for a person to have non-cancerous moles, skin tags, or warts on their skin. Most types of moles are generally harmless, such as:

Common Nevi: A normal pink, tan, or brown mole with a distinct edge.

Congenital Nevi: These moles are noticed at birth. They can sometimes progress as a melanoma or skin lesion.

Dysplastic Nevi: Larger and irregularly shaped, often with uneven colour or a dark brown centre, and can develop into a  melanoma.

Moles aren’t contagious and they usually don’t hurt, itch, or bleed. However, if you suspect a mole is abnormal you should speak to your healthcare provider.

Treatment options to remove moles

While a normal (benign) mole may not need to be removed, some individuals may choose to have a mole removed for cosmetic reasons or due to discomfort. At Me Clinic, we offer a range of treatment options that can be performed under local anaesthetic. However, it’s important to note that every individual’s situation is unique, and the outcome of mole removal can vary. While we strive to use the latest technology and techniques, we cannot guarantee a specific result or that there will be minimal scarring. Mole methods include:

Scarless and pain-free procedure

Radiofrequency surgery is a minimally invasive procedure that can be used to remove raised moles, lumps, bumps and scaly skin lesions. While this procedure often results in minimal scarring and a brief healing period, it’s important to note that individual experiences can vary. Some individuals may experience discomfort or longer healing times.

Radiofrequency technology uses high-frequency energy, without the need for a scalpel incision or stitching. Discomfort is minimal and healing is quick with virtually no bruising or swelling. A wide range of benign skin cells lesions and mole types can be treated with this transformative radio-wave surgery.

How to inspect moles

A mole’s appearance can change over time, so you should periodically inspect your moles or have someone else check them for you. Use the A,B,C,D,E method to inspect your moles. If a mole displays any of the signs listed below, make sure to have it checked by a specialist.

During the procedure, we use several methods for mole, skin tag, or lesion removal. One method we use at Me Clinic involves advanced radiofrequency electrode equipment, which often does not require an incision or sutures. However, it’s important to note that individual experiences can vary. Some patients may experience temporary skin discoloration after mole removal, which typically fades over time, but this is not guaranteed. The mole procedure can be performed at your chosen Me Clinic.

After the procedure

After the procedure, the skin around the site may feel tender and appear discoloured. Aftercare typically involves the application of an ointment and covering the area with a band-aid for a few days. While many patients do not experience significant side effects or require extensive recovery time, it’s important to note that individual experiences can vary.

If cauterizing or stitching mole removals method have been used, your Me Clinic practitioner will apply an ointment to the area to keep it moist while healing. The treated area will be covered with a dressing. You will need to keep the area clean and moist for a few days and change the dressing as instructed by your clinician.
