Everybody gets moles. It’d be odd to have such smooth skin with no blemishes, which makes us all unique. However, we also understand that moles come in all different shapes and sizes and can appear in different places on your body or face. This can cause some issues with body positivity and it’s perfectly understandable for people to want to remove moles they don’t want on show. At Perfection Cosmetic clinic in Bolton, we can perform mole removal in a safe, efficient way. But before you begin, it’s important to make sure that laser removal is right for you. We take a look at the top seven factors you should consider.
#1 Checking the risk of moles
It’s not always as simple as going to a laser removal clinic and getting your mole removed. You need to make sure that the mole in question isn’t high-risk. These specific types of moles are often called ‘atypical moles’, and as the name suggests they are different in appearance. You might not notice them at first but they might seem different from a traditional mole. They could have raised surfaces, and be unsymmetrical – you must keep an eye on them. You don’t just want to get rid of a mole if it’s a melanoma, but you want a professional healthcare expert to look at it. Once you’re sure that the mole doesn’t pose any risk to your health, then you can look for the best laser removal places in Manchester and get the job done.
#2 Keep monitoring moles
This links back to what we said above – it’s important to keep track of any moles. Especially if you develop a new one on your body. By monitoring it, you can check to see if it’s changed in appearance or size. There are also the ‘ABCDE’ warning signs to follow:
Asymmetry – if you draw a line through your mole and it doesn’t match then this is one to watch.
Border – the edges of an atypical mole or melanoma have notched edges and are more uneven compared to the smoother, more common moles.
Colour – look out for multiple colours on an atypical mole. As it grows you may see red, white, or blue colours, along with different shades of brown or black.
Diameter – keep an eye on the size of a mole, watching to see if it grows. If it’s of genuine concern, you can draw around it with a marker pen and see if it grows out of shape.
Evolution – any change, in size, shape, or colour shows that the mole is changing. Watch out.
#3 Depth of moles
Most moles are about 6mm or less under your skin. Obviously, you can get bigger moles and these are ones that people often want to be removed. You just need to make sure it’s medically okay to do so.
#4 Mole removal scarring
A big fear that some people have is getting a scar after having a mole removed. This is because, during the process, some of the normal skin around the mole is also removed. However, our mole removal techniques have been mastered to ensure no permanent scarring.
#5 Handling the pain
You don’t have anything to worry about if you get your moles removed at Perfection Cosmetic in Bolton. The laser treatment our practitioners use is not painful. The laser uses specific wavelengths of light that will destroy the dark pigment of the mole, leaving you with no scars.
#6 Number of moles
When looking at the moles you want to be removed, there are a few more things to take into consideration. If you have a cluster of them growing in one place, you may want to seek medical advice. If you just have several moles you want to be removed, then that’s no problem. It just means you might need more than one treatment to get them all done.
#7 Cost of removal
Budget and affordability are big things when it comes to laser mole removal. Our procedures start from £100 but we’ll discuss your needs when the time comes. It’s an affordable treatment that will help you get rid of any unwanted moles, without any scarring.
