Procedures: Mole Removal

Mole Removal Moles, or nevi, are frequently removed for a variety of reasons. They can be removed by 2 surgical methods:

• Excision (cutting) with stitches
• Excision with cauterization

Although laser has been tried for moles, it is not usually the method of choice for most deep moles because the laser light doesn't penetrate deeply enough.

Typically, the doctor or dermatologist (a skin specialist) may choose excision with or without stitches depending on the depth of the mole and the type of cosmetic outcome desired.
