What is Mole Removal?
Cosmetic mole or lesion removal eliminates skin growths that can be large, dark, bumpy, or located in an inconvenient area. At Laser & Skin Surgery Center of Pennsylvania, we frequently remove unappealing moles and lesions for patients in the Devon, PA area. During your consultation, the mole's size, depth, and location will be observed and noted to determine the appropriate course of action. The lesion or mole will also be examined to determine whether it is benign or non-cancerous so that it can be removed safely and accordingly. Contact our office to schedule a consultation to examine your mole or lesion, and get more information about your options that may include local surgery or laser treatments.
How are Moles Treated?
Certain factors, such as the depth, location, and size of the lesion or mole, will be considered to determine the most appropriate technique for removal. Lesions and moles that are only superficial or flush with the skin’s surface may qualify for laser removal or a simple skin-shaving technique. Moles and lesions that have grown deeper within your skin may require local excision. To perform an excision, we will numb the area with anesthesia, surgically remove the mole or lesion, and then carefully stitch the skin back together for optimal cosmetic results. Various laser treatments can also be performed after to improve the appearance of scars.

Laser & Skin Surgery Center of Pennsylvania Reviews
I went in to get a mole removed and the whole process was so smooth!
As someone who gets sunburnt taking the trash out, Dr. Wang was great. He listened to all of my concerns & addressed each one in a way that made sense to me. Was informative without causing any worry. Skin screen was thorough & had 2 moles removed at my request that he was not worried about, but did so anyway for my peace of mind.
Phenomenal experience working with Dr. Wang and Nellie. I'm only 1 day past stitch removal, following mole removal and my skin already looks really great. They have amazing bedside manner, are quick, efficient, friendly, and know what they're doing. Highly highly recommend.
The office is clean and modern, the staff is very friendly. Dr. Wang and his assistant were so knowledgeable and patient and they explained everything I need to know. Dr. Wang is so comprehensive and transparent and tell me the pros and cons of the procedures (removing mole and tags). The process is quick and I barely felt it when it is done. I highly recommend this office and Dr. Wang.
I needed a mole removed from my face. Mole was removed and no scar left bhind. The people here are amazing. Always so nice.

Mole Removal FAQ
What are the most common moles removed?
There are several lesions and moles that may appear on the body and face. Moles that might be cancerous should be removed for medical review. This includes moles that are irregularly shaped, bleeding, crusty, or discolored. Other moles, such as large or bumpy lesions, aren't usually a medical problem; however, they can be unwanted if it's in a highly visible place, such as your face or chest. If you have a mole that is irritating (often getting caught on clothing), makes you feel self-conscious, or creates other negative emotions, make an appointment with Dr. Wang to get more information about mole and lesion removal.
Is scarring a concern?
One or more small incisions are needed to remove a mole or lesion, so there will be a scar. For this reason, patients worried about the scarring should meet with Dr. Wang, who is trained to safely excise the mole or lesion and reduce visible scarring for a better-looking result.
Will a mole grow back after it's removed?
Most moles that are removed surgically do not grow back. Moles removed using a shaving technique have a small chance of growing back, but these cases are rare. Mole and lesion removal usually offers positive, lasting outcomes.
