Mole Removal in San Mateo
Moles are known as facial nevi or ‘birthmarks’ and are benign lesions on our skin that are rare cause for concern. They are normally brown or black and can be present since birth or develop over time. Most of the time, mole removal is not necessary. Unless they impact a person’s self-esteem, are unsightly, or uncomfortable. If this is the case, patients can work with Golden State Dermatology to have them removed.

San Mateo Mole Removal Procedures
We typically perform procedures for mole removal in the office with local anesthesia. Patients can return home on the same day with minimal discomfort. Depending on the location and preference of the patient, IV sedation is an available option. The actual removal procedure is determined by the size, shape, and pathology of the lesion. The most common being a complete surgical excision. This is done with a precise incision that follows along relaxed skin tension lines. Which results in a scar that is barely visible once healed. This procedure takes anywhere between fifteen minutes to an hour.
