Whether for medical reasons or cosmetic preferences, mole removal should be performed by skilled professionals to ensure safety, accuracy, and minimal scarring. At Zeal Plastic Surgery Clinic, we offer advanced mole removal techniques for the body, including surgical excision, laser removal, and radiofrequency ablation, tailored to your skin type and the nature of the mole.
Why consider Mole Removal:
Removal can be advised if a mole:
Changes in color, size, or shape
Bleeds, itches, or becomes painful
Is located in high-friction areas
Affects self-confidence or aesthetic goals
Types of Moles we treat:
Raised moles
Flat pigmented spots
Skin tags or seborrheic keratoses
Congenital or acquired nevi
Suspicious lesions (referred for pathology if needed)
Techniques We Use at Zeal Clinic
Our experienced team led by Dr. Joe Baroud will determine the most suitable technique depending on the type, size, and location of the mole, and whether it requires medical examination.
Surgical Excision
Used for larger or deeper moles. Involves local anesthesia, removal with a scalpel, and precise stitching for minimal scarring. Recommended if the mole is suspicious or needs lab testing.
Laser Mole Removal
Ideal for flat, pigmented, or non-cancerous moles. The laser breaks down pigment in the mole without cutting the skin. Healing is fast with no stitches required.
Radiofrequency (RF) Ablation
Used for small, raised moles. RF technology removes tissue layer by layer with heat energy, offering clean removal and low risk of scarring.
Procedure Overview
Anesthesia: Local for surgical or RF; none for laser in most cases
Treatment Time: 15-30 minutes
Downtime: Minimal to none
Number of Sessions: Often one; laser may require 1-2 sessions
Results: Immediate removal with gradual skin healing over 1-3 weeks

02
We use aesthetic techniques and fine closures to minimize scarring. For raised moles, a slight skin mark may remain but fades with time and can be treated further if desired.
Yes. If the mole is suspicious or irregular, we recommend histopathological analysis for medical safety.
Rarely. Proper excision or ablation typically removes the entire mole. In rare cases, partial laser treatments may require re-touching.
