A removal procedure where a mole or wart is shaved, cut or frozen to remove it from the skin.
What is it?
If you're dealing with irritating warts or moles, our experienced dermatologists at Charlotte Dermatology offer safe and effective removal treatments tailored to your needs.
Wart Removal
Warts are noncancerous bumps caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV). While generally harmless, they can be bothersome or spread. Our dermatologists offer effective treatments, such as cryotherapy, laser therapy and minor surgery, to safely remove warts and prevent recurrence.
Mole Removal
Moles are common skin growths that can sometimes indicate skin cancer if they change in appearance. If you have concerning moles, our team provides safe removal methods, including excision and shaving, to address both cosmetic and health needs.
What to expect
Our skilled dermatologists will start by assessing the wart or mole to determine the most effective treatment. If the mole appears suspicious, a biopsy may be recommended to rule out skin cancer.
Wart Removal
Depending on the type and location, common treatments include cryotherapy (freezing), laser therapy or minor surgical excision. The procedure is typically quick, and most patients experience little to no discomfort. After removal, you may experience some redness or swelling, which should subside within a few days.
Mole Removal
If removal is recommended, the procedure may bw done under local anesthesia to ensure comfort. Our dermatologists use safe techniques, such as excision or shaving, to remove the mole. You may experience mild discomfort or tenderness in the area afterward, but it should heal in a few weeks.
We’ll provide detailed aftercare instructions to ensure proper healing.
