Expert Mole Removal in a Clinical Setting

Moles are incredibly common and, in most cases, harmless. However, when a mole becomes bothersome due to appearance, location, or irritation, professional removal is often the best option. At our Orange County medspa, we offer expert mole and skin lesion removal using advanced energy-based and surgical techniques.

Our approach focuses not only on safe and complete removal but also on preserving the natural appearance of your skin. All treatments are performed under medical supervision, ensuring both cosmetic precision and peace of mind.

What Types of Moles Can Be Removed?

We treat and remove a variety of benign skin growths, including:

  • Raised or flat moles
  • Skin tags
  • Seborrheic keratoses
  • Cherry angiomas
  • Pigmented lesions
  • Other small benign skin irregularities

If there is any uncertainty about a lesion’s nature, we may recommend evaluation by a dermatologist or biopsy to rule out malignancy before proceeding.

Mole Removal Methods

The treatment method depends on the type, size, and location of the mole, as well as your aesthetic goals:

Radiofrequency (RF) or Laser Removal

Non-surgical energy-based options like Agnes RF or CO2 laser can gently vaporize surface moles with excellent precision and minimal trauma to surrounding tissue.

  • Minimal downtime
  • Excellent cosmetic results
  • Ideal for small or superficial lesions

Surgical Excision

For larger, raised, or deeper moles, surgical removal may be recommended. This involves excising the mole and closing the area with fine sutures.

  • Ensures complete removal
  • Commonly used for elevated or suspicious lesions
  • Small scar may be present, but technique minimizes visibility

In both cases, our priority is a clean result with the least amount of visible scarring.

Cosmetic Mole Removal vs. Medical Necessity

If your mole is purely aesthetic, removal is typically considered elective and not covered by insurance. If a mole shows irregular features (asymmetry, uneven borders, changes in color or size), we may refer you for a dermatological evaluation prior to removal. Your safety always comes first.
