Frequently Asked Questions
Will it leave a scar?
Anytime skin is cut, a scar is possible. However, we use techniques to minimize scarring, often resulting in a barely visible mark once healed.
Is the procedure painful?
No. We use a local anesthetic to completely numb the area before removal. You may feel a small pinch from the numbing shot, but the removal itself is painless.
Can you check if a mole is cancerous?
Yes, if a lesion looks suspicious, we can send it to a lab for biopsy analysis to ensure your health and safety.
