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.
