Facial Mole Removal
Removing unwanted moles
If you have moles or other types of skin lesions or imperfections which are unaesthetic and make you self conscious, removal through either surgical excision or with high frequency radio frequency (scarless mole removal) may be an option. Even though most moles are not dangerous, a certain type of flat, deeply coloured variety may precede a highly malignant skin tumour. It is advisable to get these facial moles removed by a specialist. Dr Imani's extensive experience with skin cancer surgery may help in diagnosing such lesions. Mole removal will usually result in minimal scarring which generally blends in well with the surrounding skin.
