Mole Removal Singapore

Mole removal is a widely practiced medical and cosmetic procedure in Singapore, catering to the needs of individuals looking to remove moles for various reasons. Moles, which are small skin lesions or growths, can be benign or potentially harmful. Their removal is often sought for aesthetic purposes, discomfort relief, or medical precaution.

The 3 common mole removal treatments include:

• Surgery Excision
• Laser Treatment
• Radiosurgery

Cost and recovery time of the mole removal surgery depend on the size and location of the mole, as well as the chosen method of removal. You may also opt to remove moles for medical reasons, such as to check for cancerous growths such as skin cancer.

Mole removal in Singapore can be done in various places such as aesthetic clinics. At Medical Aesthetics, we perform mole removal treatment through both surgical excision & laser treatment. Our mole removal procedures are performed under local anaesthetic to minimize pain & discomfort.

These are two main factors thought to contribute to the development and growth of moles:

• Genetics: A predisposition to having moles can be inherited. If your parents or siblings have numerous moles, it's more likely that you'll have more moles too.
• Sun Exposure: While moles can appear on parts of the body not frequently exposed to sunlight, ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun can play a significant role in the development of moles, especially on sun-exposed areas.

There are many reasons in Singapore why one may choose to undergo mole removal.

Medical Reasons

• Precancerous / Cancerous Moles: Moles that are pre-cancerous or suspected to be cancerous (melanoma) need to be removed to prevent the cancer from spreading.
• Irritation: Moles that frequently get irritated or bleed due to their location (e.g., from shaving or friction from clothing) might be removed to alleviate the problem.
• Pain or Discomfort: If a mole becomes painful or starts itching, it's often checked and might be removed.
• Changes in Appearance: If a mole starts to change in size, shape, color, or elevation, or begins to exhibit symptoms like bleeding, it's a cause for concern and might be removed after evaluation.

Cosmetic Reasons

• Aesthetic Concerns: People might choose to remove moles that they find unsightly or unattractive, especially on highly visible areas such as the face.
• Size and Protrusion: Large or protruding moles might be removed for a smoother skin appearance.
• Confidence and Self-Esteem: The presence of certain moles might make an individual self-conscious. Removing such moles can boost their confidence and self-esteem.

Additionally, some people might opt for mole removal simply based on personal preference even if there's no medical or cosmetic reason.

There are many reasons in Singapore why one may choose to undergo mole removal. Moles are not just cosmetic blemishes; they are complex structures within the skin layers and require a deeper understanding of skin anatomy, potential complications, and the ability to differentiate between benign and malignant growths.

• Medical Expertise: Doctors undergo years of training to understand skin conditions and abnormalities. Their expertise allows them to correctly identify and safely remove moles while minimizing risks.
• Malignancy Identification: It's essential to differentiate between a benign mole and a potentially malignant one. A trained doctor can recognize early signs of skin cancer, ensuring early intervention if needed.
• Safe and Sterile Procedures: Mole removal, when done incorrectly, can lead to infections, scars, or complications. Doctors perform procedures in a sterile environment using medically approved tools, ensuring the site remains clean and heals appropriately.
