Moles are skin growths made up of cells that produce colour (pigment). They appear anywhere on the body and affect people of all ages. Most moles are harmless but they do make some people feel self-conscious.

Skin tags are small, soft pieces of skin that stick out on a thin stem. They most often appear on the neck, armpits, upper trunk, and body folds. Skin tags, while also harmless, can have an impact on self-esteem and confidence.

Growths treated include moles, skin tags, seborrhoeic keratoses, senile warts and other raised lesions. At Dermedica Perth cosmetic clinic, we can remove moles from the face, armpits, breasts and neck.

The technique we use is particularly useful for facial growths and fleshy growths called skin tags. 

Some moles can be cancerous so it is important to have them inspected by a dermatologist or skin cancer specialist before you have your moles and skin tags removed.

In the past, the only way to remove moles, skin tags and other small leisions was surgically. This resulted in stitches and scarring.

New technology uses plasma to seal your skin while a bump, lesion, mole or skin tag is removed. This minimises scarring and helps you step out with confidence.

At Dermedica, we are able to treat lesions, moles and skin tags which are less than 5mm in diameter.

Prior to treatment, your skin is numbed with a special numbing cream.

Dr Teh then personally administers treatment using a very small needle. This uses a heat source to gently remove the lesion from your skin. You can expect very little discomfort and are unlikely to need a great deal of downtime after the procedure.

After your treatment, you can expect the area to be red and have a scab. This scab will drop off naturally after 7-10 days.

Dr Teh will provide aftercare products and instructions to assist with your skin’s healing.

At Dermedica, we always endeavour to meet your expectations. Our aim is to give you a clearer complexion so you notice less pigmentation or protruding skin after your mole removal treatment.

Dr Joanna Teh will discuss any risks as well as the expected outcome of your mole or skin tag removal during your initial consultation.

Generally, one to two treatments are needed for the removal of moles and skin tags which are less than 5mm in diameter. However, Dr Teh will tailor your treatment accordingly.
