Frequently Asked Questions
Will it leave a scar?
Anytime skin is cut, a scar is possible. Technique selection can help reduce visible scarring, but healing varies by skin tone, location, lesion type, and aftercare.
Is the procedure painful?
A local anesthetic is used to numb the area before removal. You may feel a small pinch from the numbing shot, and comfort varies by person and technique.
Can you check if a mole is cancerous?
If a lesion has suspicious features, biopsy, pathology review, or referral can be discussed. Any changing, bleeding, painful, or concerning lesion should be evaluated promptly.
