Mole Removal

Moles are common pigmented skin growths that can appear on any part of the body.

Although most are benign, certain moles can pose a health or aesthetic problem and require surgical removal.

At Medical Time hospital, mole removal is performed quickly, precisely, and safely—with the option of a histopathological analysis of every growth for complete peace of mind.

Our team uses modern techniques that allow for a minimal scar and a superior aesthetic result.

Regardless of the reason for removal, all procedures are planned individually with a consultation with a dermatologist and a surgeon.

Our goal is to ensure both medical safety and the best possible aesthetic outcome for every patient.

Mole removal at Medical Time hospital is performed with maximum precision, safety, and dedication to the patient.

When is mole removal necessary?

Mole removal is recommended in the following cases:

• If the mole is changing – growing, darkening, becoming asymmetrical, or having irregular borders.

• If it bleeds, itches, hurts, or is frequently irritated.

• If it is located in a visible area and bothers the patient aesthetically.

• When a dermatologist suspects a possible malignant potential.

At Medical Time hospital, all moles that are removed are routinely sent for histopathological analysis for added safety.

Timely removal of suspicious growths significantly reduces the risk of complications and provides peace of mind to the patient.

Methods of mole removal

There are several methods for mole removal, and the choice depends on their size, location, depth, and suspicion of malignancy.

The most common method is classic surgical excision with sutures – the recommended method when a complete tissue analysis is required.

For superficial moles with no suspicion of malignancy, removal with radio waves or electrocoagulation is possible.

Each procedure is planned individually and performed under local anesthesia, painlessly and on an outpatient basis.

Before each intervention, a dermoscopic examination and a dermatologist's assessment are performed.

The goal is to achieve maximum precision and safety while preserving the health of the skin.

Medical Time uses modern equipment to ensure that interventions are quick and without complications.

What do the procedure and recovery look like?

The mole removal procedure itself takes between 15 and 30 minutes under local anesthesia.

The patient feels no pain and can go home immediately after the intervention.

The wound is sutured with aesthetic thread that is removed in 7 to 10 days.

During this period, it is recommended to avoid direct sun exposure and physical exertion in the area of the intervention.

A check-up is mandatory to monitor healing and analyze the results if the tissue has been sent for histopathological analysis (PHD).

In most cases, the scar is minimal and becomes almost invisible over time.

Proper postoperative care is crucial for an optimal result and the prevention of infections.

Does a scar remain after mole removal?

In most cases, the scar is minimal and becomes almost unnoticeable over time.

In areas like the face or neck, a special aesthetic suturing technique is used to achieve the best possible result.

Medical Time also offers additional treatments to minimize scars if needed, including mesotherapy and PRP treatments.

Experienced surgeons pay attention to the aesthetic line of the incision and the proper closure of the wound.

Patients are given instructions on wound protection and the application of products that improve healing.

Regular check-ups allow for timely assessment and additional measures for an optimal aesthetic outcome.

With proper care, the traces of the intervention are often unnoticeable just a few weeks later.

Safety first – the importance of histopathological analysis

Histopathological analysis of a removed mole is a crucial diagnostic procedure.

This way, the nature of the growth is determined with certainty, and any suspicion of malignancy is eliminated.

Even when a mole looks harmless, only an analysis under a microscope can give a final confirmation of the diagnosis.

At Medical Time hospital, a PHD analysis is routinely performed for every mole that is removed.

This practice enables the early detection of potentially dangerous growths and timely treatment.

Patients receive a written report of the findings, with an interpretation by a specialist.

Safety, precision, and responsibility are the foundations of our approach to every intervention.
