- What's in a Mole and Wart Removal treatment?
- Moles can be removed with radiofrequency, laser or by shave excision depending upon their level of origin. Shave excision is done for epidermal and mixed nevi; while elliptical excision and resuturing is done for intradermal nevi. Warts are usually burnt to their base by radiofrequency ablation.
- Is it painful and will it leave a scar?
- It is done under local anaesthesia and if superficial will not leave a scar. Deeper lesion may leave a thin surgical line.
- How long will it take?
- The procedure time usually takes around half an hour.
- Are the results permanent?
- Yes, once treated adequately, the results are permanent for moles, while warts may recur and may require two or more treatment sessions.
- How many treatment sessions will I need?
- For moles only one session is required, whereas warts may require two or more sittings.
