​Most people have moles, blemishes, warts, skin tags or other kinds of lesions somewhere on their body. While this is natural, moles can cause issues with self-esteem and self-image. In this case, you can consider mole removal. Many individuals choose to remove moles or other kinds of blemishes or irregularities to improve their appearance and comfort.

Here at Face Doctors, we are dedicated to helping our clients improve their confidence and appearances with our variety of treatments. We can remove moles in a simple, straightforward and safe way.

When choosing to have your mole removed, it’s extremely important that the procedure is done by a qualified professional. Attempting home removal is dangerous.

Instead, you can trust us at Face Doctors to provide you with comprehensive services that are safe and reliable.

We use the Ellman Surgitron® method. The Surgitron® uses radio-wave-based technology to remove moles and other lesions with minimal impact on the surrounding skin. This works by removing only the lesion itself on a very superficial skin level, preventing deep damage that would result in long-lasting scarring. After applying a small amount of anesthetic under the lesion to prevent pain, the lesion is removed, resulting in a non-bleeding surface that is no bigger than the lesion itself.

After the lesion is removed, the raw area will develop into a scab. The skin will heal into a healthy layer of skin underneath the scab in 7-10 days, eventually blending back in with the colour of the surrounding skin. The entire process has virtually no risk of scarring, causes minimal damage to surrounding skin, causes no bleeding and has minimal to no pain. Your experience will depend on your situation and the mole or lesion you want removed.

The Ellman Surgitron® method is a suitable choice for a wide range of blemishes and lesions, but it’s important to note that it’s not always suitable for every case. When you choose us at Face Doctors, we will have an in-depth consultation with you to determine if this method is right for you. While this procedure is ideal for many cosmetic moles, traditional surgical removal is the proper choice for other cases – particularly non-benign lesions. We at Face Doctors will analyse your situation with you to determine the right pathway for your lesion. We can also explore other treatments and options that may be ideal for your situation.

​One of the major benefits of this removal method is that it’s performed on a very superficial level, strongly reducing the chances of issues like scarring or negative side effects. So, extensive aftercare generally isn’t needed. Before and after your procedure, we can discuss the best ways to care for your lesion site to promote healing for your particular case.

We recommend avoiding scratching, touching or otherwise disturbing the treated area after your procedure. It’s important to let your skin heal, letting the scab form and naturally fall off within the predicted 7-10 days healing time.

If we have any additional concerns about your specific situation, we will carefully go through the details of your case with you before your procedure. This way, you can make an informed decision for yourself. After your treatment, our team will be here if you’d like to contact us with any concerns or questions regarding your aftercare or treatment site.

Freckles and moles are often harmless and can be caused by genetics or sun exposure. Cosmetic lesion removal is primarily beneficial for those who want to:

• Improve Their Appearance And Comfort. Even if a mole isn’t dangerous, it can still negatively impact your self-image and comfort. Mole removal can help to improve your confidence.
• Experience Minimal Downtime. The Ellman Surgitron® method is straightforward and safe, with minimal downtime and aftercare requirements. It’s a suitable option for patients who want to effectively remove moles and return to their daily lives with ease.
• Avoid Scarring. If you are having a lesion removed for cosmetic reasons, it’s natural to want to avoid scarring. This advanced method has virtually no risk of scarring or causing deeper damage to your skin.

The best way to decide if mole removal is right for you is to consult with a professional. We at Face Doctors are happy to answer any questions you have regarding our procedures. The Surgitron® can also treat skin tags, warts and other raised lesions, so we can also consider other areas you’d like to treat.
