Moles are common skin growths that may be flat or protruding, and appear in different colors such as brown, black or pink. Although most moles are harmless, some can be aesthetically uncomfortable or appear in uncomfortable places such as the eye or neck. At the Horizon Medical Care Center in Ibri, We offer mole removal service whether for medical or cosmetic reasons, using precise and safe techniques that ensure minimal scarring.

Types of moles that can be removed:

1. Superficial (flat) moles.

2. Raised moles.

3. Hairy moles.

4. Irregular or variable moles (some referred for histological examination).

Methods of mole removal at Afaq Center

We determine the appropriate method according to the type and location of the mole:

1. Surgical removal: Cutting the mole under local anesthesia and stitching it accurately. They are often used for large or deep moles.

2. Electric or laser cauterization: for small or superficial moles. It is non-surgical and has a quick recovery.

3. Laser removal (CO₂ or Er:YAG): A precise technique that reduces the likelihood of scarring.

4. Histological examination (in some cases): The removed mole is sent for laboratory analysis if it is irregular or changes its shape.
