Mole, Wart & Skin Tag Removal Perth

  • No cutting or stitching required
  • Suitable for most benign, raised skin lesion
  • Minimal risk of scarring compared to surgical technique

Up until recently, surgical excision (with stitching), electric cautery and cryotherapy (liquid nitrogen freezing) were the only techniques available for the removal of localised skin lesions such as moles, warts and skin tags.

These traditional techniques often leave scars worse than the lesions they remove. 

Here at DermAesthetics, we use the revolutionary radio-waves, Pico laser CO2 and Erbium Glass precision lasers to treat a whole spectrum of benign skin lesions in as little as a few seconds. Moreover, this process does not require any cutting or stitching resulting in minimal discomfort or dowmtime 

Treatable skin lesions include:

  • Raised moles (dark as well as colourless)
  • Flat moles and freckles
  • Skin tags
  • Seborrhoeic keratosis (age warts)
  • Warts
  • Syringomas (small bumps around eyes)
  • Areolar (breast nipple area) glands
  • Tongue papillae
  • Eyelid cyst (chalazion)
  • Milia
  • Vaginal and groin moles and skin tags
  • Fordyce Spots (tiny yellowish bumps on the penis)
  • Xanthelasmas (cholesterol deposits around eyelids)

DermAesthetics is one of the few practices in Australia to offer the entire spectrum of ablative and non-ablative lasers for treating most skin conditions under one roof.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is the procedure performed?

At DermAesthetics, we use the latest CO2 and Erbium-glass lasers to remove localised, benign skin lesions. The lesion is first numbed and then removed using precision laser beam. The CO2 laser seals off the blood vessels as it ablates away the lesion, entailing little or no bleeding. Since the skin is not cut as such, no suturing is required.

 

What is the duration of this procedure?

The duration of this procedure depends upon the number of moles (lesions) needed to be removed in one session.

People with more than 10 moles (lesions) may require up to 40 minutes for this procedure. For those with 30 or more moles, we recommend removing the lesions in 2 or 3 separate sessions instead of one.

 

Is the procedure painful?

The treatment area is fully numbed using topical numbing cream and local anaesthetic injection before hand. 

 

 

What is the recovery like following the procedure?

Patients can go home straight after the procedure. Treated area develops a scab. This scab naturally falls off in 5 to 8 days.

 

Will the mole be completely removed after one session?

All raised and colourless lesions are usually removed in one session. Most raised and pigmented moles may also be removed in one session.

However, some black raised moles and most flat moles or freckles may require more than one treatment session. 

 

Will there be a visible scar afterwards?

There is minimal risk of scarring associated with this procedure.

 

Is it likely for the mole to return?

In the majority of cases, any lesion removed from the skin does not return or reappear. However, in very few cases, the body may regrow some of the tissue previously removed. 1 or 2 touch-up treatments are sufficient in correcting this.

 

How much time off am I advised to take from work?​

Cosmetic mole removal is a minor surgical procedure and time off work is usually not required. Most people can return to work on the same day the procedure is performed. However, a medical certificate may be organised if necessary. 

 

When can I begin exercising again?

This will depend upon the size and location of the mole(s) removed. The healing process can take up to a week in most cases. 

 

What are the potential risks and complications of this procedure?

The removal of any skin lesion comes with possible risks and complications that include, but are not limited to:

  • Infection
  • Over-correction
  • Inadequate correction
  • Swelling and discomfort
  • Delayed healing and unfavourable scarring

  • Temporary skin discolouration of the treated area

  • ​Scarring (rare)

 

 

What can I do to reduce any complications associated with this procedure?

Eat healthy food and avoid alcohol and cigarettes during the healing phase. Do not pick on the scab during the healing process and let it fall off naturally. 

 

What is the total cost of the procedure?

Pricing starts from $350 for a single pea size mole and may cost up to $1,200 for a 15-30 minute session. We will be able to provide a better estimate about pricing after an inclinic or facetime consultation.

 

How much is a consultation and how do I book?

Consultations are $250 and redeemable towards your procedure. To secure your consultation, we require a deposit of $100, with the balance of $150 due on the day of your booking. Please call our DermAesthetics team to book your consultation, (08) 9380 6438 ext 1.
