Mole Removal

Enhancing Skin Clarity

Las Vegas NV

Moles can be a source of concern for both cosmetic and medical reasons. At Couture Dermatology & Plastic Surgery, our experienced team, including board-certified dermatologists Dr. Candace Spann, offers safe and effective mole removal procedures. Whether the mole is too large, too dark, or located in a prominent area, our experts will assess and treat it with precision and care. Before removing any mole, we recommend a thorough consultation to ensure that it is non-cancerous. In cases where a cosmetic approach is needed to minimize scarring or discoloration, board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Marvin Spann will provide expert guidance and treatment options.

What to Expect

The Procedure

Mole removal is a straightforward procedure, but its complexity depends on the size, depth, and location of the mole. After applying a local anesthetic, the surgeon will use a scalpel to carefully remove the mole along with a small margin of surrounding tissue. For larger or deeper moles, sutures will be placed beneath the skin to support optimal healing. For moles that are flush with the skin, a shaving or laser removal technique may be employed. The entire process usually takes about 30 minutes but may vary depending on the specifics of each case.

Recovery and Aftercare

Mole removal is performed on an outpatient basis, and most patients find the recovery process relatively easy. Smaller moles typically cause little to no discomfort, while larger or deeper moles may result in mild soreness due to the sutures. After the procedure, the treated area will form a scab that heals over within a few weeks. Patients will receive a scar treatment protocol to ensure the best possible cosmetic outcome, minimizing any lasting marks.

Skin Cancer Concerns

While many moles are harmless, some may pose a risk of skin cancer. At Couture Medical, we treat a wide range of skin conditions, including skin cancer, under the care of our dermatologists. If you have a mole that has changed in appearance—such as irregular borders, unusual color, or bleeding—it’s important to have it evaluated. Early detection is key, and in cases of cancerous moles, we can often remove them during an office visit. More advanced cases may require additional treatments like surgery, chemotherapy, or radiation. If you have any concerns about changes in your moles, we encourage you to schedule a skin analysis with our team today.

Mole Removal PROCEDURE REVIEWS

"I paid for a mole removal procedure on my upper lip, I had local anesthesia done in office in order to remove it. And you know what it looks good, it's healing pretty well, I'm not seeing or expecting a scar, it was shaved off clean and for the price it's in my budget. My mom said it's entirely gone and I'm glad I got it removed, I look so much better without it. I definitely would come here again to get any moles or spots removed."

Am I a good candidate for Mole Removal?

You may be a good candidate for mole removal if you have moles that are causing cosmetic concerns, discomfort, or if you notice any changes in the appearance of your moles that could be a sign of skin cancer.

Ultimately, even if a mole is not causing medical issues, you may choose to have it removed for purely aesthetic reasons. If this is the case, a dermatologist can evaluate your mole and recommend the best approach for removal, whether through shaving, excision, or laser therapy.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What types of moles should be removed?

Moles that are bothersome due to their size, texture, or location may be considered for removal. Additionally, any mole that shows signs of irregularity—such as uneven borders, changes in color, or new growth—should be evaluated for removal, as these are common signs of skin cancer.

Will there be scarring?

While some level of scarring is inevitable with mole removal, our skilled team uses advanced techniques to minimize the appearance of scars. Patients concerned about scarring may also consult with our plastic surgeon, Dr. Marvin Spann, who specializes in cosmetic procedures designed to reduce visible scarring.

Does insurance cover mole removal?

If mole removal is purely for cosmetic reasons, insurance typically does not cover the cost. However, if the mole is suspected to be cancerous or poses a health risk, your insurance may cover part of the removal process. We recommend having the mole assessed by one of our dermatologists, and our team can help navigate insurance coverage if necessary.
