Introduction
Do visible moles affect your facial aesthetics or make you feel self-conscious? Have you noticed changes in shape, size, or color of an existing mole?
Moles can occur anywhere on the skin and while many are harmless, some can be bothersome, unattractive, or even raise medical concerns. Whether you're removing a mole for cosmetic reasons or clinical evaluation, precision and safety are critical. At Asteria Aesthetics Bhopal, Dr. Apoorv Loya offers advanced mole removal treatment tailored to your skin type and needs—delivering scar-free, natural results.
Common Causes
Moles, or nevi, are benign pigmented skin growths caused by clusters of melanocytes (pigment-producing cells). They may appear at birth or develop later due to various factors.
Common causes of moles include:
- Genetic predisposition
- Hormonal changes (puberty, pregnancy)
- Prolonged sun exposure and UV radiation
- Aging-related skin changes
- Certain medications or skin injuries
- Viral infections (in rare, pigmented lesions)
While most moles are benign, it's important to monitor any sudden changes, especially in shape, border, or color.
Treatment Process
Mole removal is a minor but delicate procedure that must ensure complete removal while preserving skin texture and avoiding visible scarring.
Step 1: Skin Examination & Planning
Description: Dr. Apoorv Loya evaluates the mole’s size, depth, type (flat or raised), and any suspicious features. A dermatoscope may be used for magnified analysis.
Result: A decision is made between laser removal, shave excision, or full-thickness excision. Suspicious moles may be sent for biopsy.
Best For: Individuals with cosmetic concerns or changing/irritating moles.
Step 2: Mole Removal Procedure
Description: Based on the method selected:
- Laser removal uses focused energy to break down pigmentation without cutting.
- Shave excision involves slicing off the mole flush with the skin.
- Surgical excision removes the entire mole with a margin and may require sutures.
- Result: Clean, flat skin with no pigmentation or raised tissue.
- Best For: All skin types, depending on mole characteristics.
Step 3: Recovery & Aftercare
Description: Healing time varies from 5–10 days depending on the technique. Post-procedure care includes antiseptic application and sun protection.
Result: Minimal scarring, even skin tone, and natural skin texture.
Best For: Cosmetic mole removal in exposed areas like the face, neck, and arms.

Patients often report irritation, discomfort, or aesthetic concerns about a facial or body mole. Some seek removal after changes in size, color, or bleeding. A proper evaluation ensures safe, appropriate technique selection.
During Your Treatment
The procedure is quick (15–30 minutes), done under local anesthesia, and pain-free. You remain awake, and no hospital stay is required.
After Your Treatment
Mild redness or scabbing may appear for a few days. Healing is quick, and scars—if any—are barely noticeable over time. Follow-up visits help ensure complete recovery.
