Lesion Removal

‍

Moles or nevi come in all shapes and sizes and can be brown, red, black, or skin color. Some people have a collection of moles on their faces and/or body, and a lot of them want them removed.

We recommend an annual full-body skin check. Patients with a personal or family history of skin cancer, or multiple, or abnormal, moles are particularly encouraged to have a skin cancer screening.” Most moles are benign ( i.e noncancerous) growths of the cells that give the skin color (melanocytes). Some moles can develop into a melanoma, which may occur near or inside an existing mole. If you have a mole that is changing, itching, or bleeding, see a dermatologist immediately.

Naples Laser & Skin Aesthetics offers a procedure close to scar-less lesion removal via targeted radiofrequency so that it becomes level with the skin surface. This energy seals blood vessels, which eliminates bleeding risk. There is no cut and no sutures needed with this procedure and the surrounding tissue is not affected. “It causes less to no damage than standard electro-surgery or other cutting or freezing techniques.
