Yes, beauty marks, also known as moles, can be removed.
How Beauty Marks are Removed
The method used to remove a beauty mark depends on whether it is flat or raised.
Characteristic | Removal Method | Procedure |
---|---|---|
Flat Mole | Excision | Mole is cut off the surface of the skin. |
Raised Mole | Excision | Deeper incision required, may require stitches. |
- Flat Beauty Marks/Moles: These are typically removed by cutting the mole off the skin's surface. This procedure is less invasive than the removal of raised moles.
- Raised Beauty Marks/Moles: These moles extend deeper into the skin, requiring a deeper incision for removal. The procedure often requires stitches to close the wound.
Important Considerations:
- The depth and size of the mole influence the removal method.
- A medical professional should assess the mole before removal to determine the appropriate approach.
- The removal process can leave a scar.
