Mole Removal
Avané Dermatology Clinic in Nairobi, Kenya, offers professional mole removal services. Moles, also known as birthmarks, are benign clusters of melanocytes that can darken due to sun exposure or pregnancy. Mole removal can be done for both medical and aesthetic reasons, using methods such as punch excision, surgical excision, or shave excision.
Mole removal involves one of three methods: punch excision, surgical excision, or shave excision. In a punch excision, a small, circular tool removes the mole and surrounding tissue. Surgical excision involves cutting out larger moles and stitching the skin. Shave excision uses a blade to shave off the mole from the skin’s surface.
During the procedure, a local anaesthetic is applied to numb the area. Depending on the method used, the mole is either punched out, surgically removed, or shaved off. The procedure is usually quick and involves minimal discomfort. After removal, the area is cleaned and dressed to aid healing.
Mole removal can prevent potential skin issues, such as melanoma, and improve skin appearance. The procedure leaves minimal scarring and can boost confidence by eliminating unwanted moles. Healing typically occurs within a few weeks, with proper aftercare.
Laser treatment for spots targets hyperpigmentation such as sunspots, age spots, or liver spots.
Mole mapping enables the early detection of melanoma and other skin cancers, which is critical for successful treatment.
At Avané Clinic in Nairobi, we offer advanced treatments designed to help fade freckles and improve skin tone.
