Skin Doctor SA provides cosmetic mole removal in Semaphore so you can feel confident and comfortable in your own skin

For a long time there have only been two choices when it came to moles:

  • Ignore them and leave them alone
  • Have them surgically excised with a potentially obvious and quite visible resultant scar

Even so, often, moles are in areas where excision is difficult or impossible (other than by excision and graft) such as on and around the nose, lips and eyes. Now you can remove your moles cosmetically, without excision and suturing.

Skin Doctor SA makes mole removal simple with radiowave treatment

Radiowave technology is the passage of ultra-high frequency radiowaves into the skin via fine electrodes. These electrodes make very fine incisions in tissue, coagulating at the same time so there is minimal bleeding. In contrast to surgical excision, only the mole tissue above skin level is removed. (Surgical excision requires removal of a small margin of normal skin around the mole plus the skin under the mole, down to the subcutaneous level, then suturing, which requires postoperative wound care and results in the inevitable scar).

Cosmetic and medical skin care from our world-class doctors

The fine electrodes used in radiowave surgery remove fine slivers of mole tissue, shaving it down to skin level leaving a smooth surface which forms a superficial scab.

Provided this is left to heal naturally (7 to 10 days) there is rarely any scarring at the treatment site.

There may be slight colour difference in the treated skin (compared with the surrounding skin) but this will tend to fade and blend in over time.

The process is painless, as the mole is injected with a local anaesthetic prior to removal.

Before our team suggest the mole removal treatment we will require you to have a comprehensive assessment by one of our experienced clinicians. Our Doctors at Skin Doctor SA in Semaphore have decades of experience in mole assessments.
