Mole Reduction Treatment
Mole Reduction Treatment in Eastbourne
At Prodermal, we can safely reduce the appearance of unwanted moles, helping them blend more naturally with the surrounding skin while achieving a natural-looking result.
Many clients choose mole reduction to improve their confidence, particularly when a mole is prominent, raised, or located in a highly visible area.
Before any treatment takes place, we arrange a professional assessment through our Map My Mole mole checking service. This important step helps confirm that your mole is suitable for cosmetic treatment, allowing us to proceed with confidence while putting your safety first.
How Are Moles Reduced?
Mole reduction is typically performed using shortwave diathermy, a highly precise treatment that uses a controlled electrical current to generate heat and target the mole tissue. This method works by cauterising and reducing the mole layer by layer, allowing for accurate treatment with minimal disruption to the surrounding skin. The heat also seals the area during treatment, helping to reduce bleeding and support a clean healing process.
Mole Reduction or Removal?
For some moles, particularly those that are raised or superficial, the treatment may involve gently reducing the mole to skin level. In other cases, complete removal may be recommended depending on the size, type, and depth of the mole. More complex or suspicious moles may require alternative medical procedures such as surgical excision, which involves removing the mole and a small margin of surrounding tissue under local anaesthetic.
The treatment itself is quick and carried out in clinic. A fine probe is used to precisely target the mole tissue, with most procedures taking only a short amount of time depending on the size and number of moles being treated. The area may feel warm during treatment, but discomfort is minimal and well tolerated.
Will The Results Look Natural?
Moles, also known as melanocytic naevi, are common skin growths that can appear anywhere on the body. At ProDermal Clinic, mole reduction and removal is carried out using advanced techniques designed to minimise skin trauma while achieving a smooth, natural-looking result. Every mole is carefully assessed prior to treatment to determine suitability and to ensure safe, appropriate removal.
