How Mole & Lesion Removal Works

Mole and lesion removal is a simple, in-office procedure designed to safely eliminate unwanted or suspicious skin growths.

Once the plan is in place, your dermatologist performs the procedure with precision to protect both your health and appearance.

The Treatment Process

• Evaluation & Diagnosis – Your dermatologist examines the mole or lesion to confirm whether it should be removed and may recommend a biopsy if necessary.
