You’ve Got Moles? We Have a Solution
Not all skin spots are the same, and not all can be treated the same way. In our clinic, true moles (nevi) are always removed via excisional biopsy and sent to pathology to ensure they are not cancerous.
However, certain benign lesions that resemble moles may be safely treated with laser or cryotherapy.
Laser Treatment
Non-invasive laser removal with minimal scarring. Perfect for small, benign moles that don’t need a biopsy.
Cryotherapy
Looking to get rid of a mole fast? Cryotherapy freezes and destroys the mole tissue with little to no downtime. Great for certain superficial moles and lesions.
Excisional Biopsy
If your mole needs to be completely removed and medically examined, excision is the best approach. Recommended for larger, changing, or irregular moles that require closer evaluation.
