Eliminating skin imperfections that could endanger one’s health is possible through several types of treatment: by means of homemade cures, by surgery or laser therapy. Excision represents the surgical mole remove method; a procedure that involves cutting the mole and the skin around it so that the formation may not regenerate. Depending on the skin roots of the mole, the cutting will be more serious or only superficial. Doctors cannot usually tell how much tissue they will have to cut, because most of the medical tests detect the size of the nevi, but not their depth. In case stitches will be used, the risk of scarring is a bit higher.

If the surgical mole remove is superficial, no stitches are used, and the doctor will cauterize the wound in order to stop the bleeding and speed up the healing. In this group of interventions, we also ought to mention shaving, that means removing a mole that is just slightly attached to the skin. There is no pain or tissue trauma involved in this process, but some mole cells could be left behind after the intervention. Therefore, no matter how easy the procedure and how smooth the skin is left behind, the pros and cons have to be weighed carefully in order to make a good decision.

The more modern alternative for mole remove is laser therapy, that is much praised because of its little invasiveness. The use of the light beam is ideal for flat small moles, but less recommendable for larger raised ones. The light cannot get through the tissues and destroy the mole root especially if it is very large. Thus, your dermatologist could either advise the use of several treatment sessions, or recommend another form of treatment, like surgery for instance. Therefore, in some specialists’ opinion, laser therapy has yet to prove its efficiency in dermatological procedures like moles removal.

Last but not least, the natural or homemade mole remove process is carried out by means of natural remedies available around the house. Castor oil, fig stems extract, honey, vinegar, cauliflower or pineapple juice represent treatments available with herbalist medicine for centuries now. However, the long usage history doesn’t necessarily guarantee for the safety of the cures, particularly if the risks refer to cancer development. Such unfortunate cases are explained by the cellular reactions triggered by some natural remedies in malignant moles. Consequently, the safest option one’s got for mole remove treatments is the medical one.
