3 Myths About Mole Removal in Anaheim
When it comes to mole removal there is a lot of misinformation out there that can make people fear getting their unwanted mole removed. Many people continue living with moles they dislike because they have heard stories and inaccurate information, or simply they don’t know what to expect from the procedure and imagine the worst. The truth is that modern cosmetic mole removal is a safe and effective treatment when performed by experienced medical professionals using the appropriate techniques. The results can really be life changing. We’re debunking three of the biggest myths surrounding mole removal so you can make an informed decision with confidence.
- Myth: Mole removal is painful – One of the biggest fears people have is that mole removal will be a painful procedure. This is far from the truth. Nowadays most doctors and clinics use some type of anesthesia to numb the area. At our clinic before the procedure begins a local anesthetic is administered. Patients feel a quick pinch or slight stinging sensation from the anesthetic, and once the area is numb, the actual mole removal is generally painless. Most patients describe the experience as much easier than they expected. If you are sensitive to pain make sure to communicate that with your doctor so they can select the best numbing method for you.
- Myth: Mole removal leaves a permanent scar – Many people avoid getting their mole removed because they’re worried they’ll be left with a big scar. While any procedure involving the skin has the potential to leave scarring, nowadays there are modern cosmetic mole removal techniques that are specifically designed to minimize scarring and achieve the best possible cosmetic outcome. There are many things that influence how the skin heals, including the size and depth of the mole, its location on the body, your skin type, and how well you follow your aftercare instructions. Choosing a skilled doctor who specializes in cosmetic mole removal plays a big role in the final appearance of the treated area. In many cases, once healing is complete the treated area goes back to its normal skin tone. Most patients feel much more confident with little to no scarring healing mark than with a mole they disliked for years.
- Myth: The mole will always grow back after it’s removed – Another common misconception is that removing a mole is pointless because it will grow back. This is not true. When a mole is properly removed using the appropriate technique, it often does not grow back.. However, not every mole is exactly the same case. Some moles extend deeper into the skin than others, and certain types may have a slightly higher chance of recurring if some pigmented cells remain beneath the surface. An experienced mole removal doctor will evaluate your mole during your consultation and recommend the treatment method that offers the best cosmetic result while minimizing the chances of it growing back.
