Moles

What are moles?

Moles, also known as nevi, can be classified into two main types based on their appearance: raised moles and flat moles.

Raised Moles:  Raised moles extend above the surface of the skin, forming a noticeable bump or mound. They can vary in size, shape, and color, and the texture can range from smooth to slightly textured or bumpy. They can be flesh-colored, brown, black, red, or pink. Moles can develop at any age can appear on any part of the body.

Flat Moles: Flat moles are flush with the skin and do not protrude. They have a smoother surface compared to raised moles, and the texture is generally smooth. Like raised moles, flat moles can be various colors, including flesh-colored, brown, black, or other shades. Flat moles may also be present from birth or develop later in life and can occur anywhere on the body.

Common characteristics for moles:

• Most moles are benign (non-cancerous) and harmless.
• Moles can change over time, and any changes in size, shape, color, or other characteristics should be monitored.
• Sun exposure is a risk factor for the development of new moles, and protecting the skin from excessive sun exposure is important for skin health.

Our Mole & Skin Tag Removal service at Renew MedSpa offers an easy and painless solution to removing moles and skin tags. We apply a prescription strength topical numbing cream for 30 minutes, and then we use a Plasma Pen device to apply plasma energy to shrink or sever the lesion at the base, resulting in shrinking or flattening of the lesion.

An appointment takes about 60-90 minutes where we numb the affected area for 30 minutes and then in the span of 30 minutes, we’ll remove as many moles and skin tags as you’d like.

If you’d like to get rid of your moles and skin tags, look no further and schedule an appointment today.
