Prevention and Treatment of Skin Lesions After Summer — For Both Health and Beauty!
Following months of sun exposure, a dermatological mole check every autumn is more than necessary.
Moles (nevi) should always be examined and evaluated to determine whether they are normal or potentially suspicious.
Although usually benign, changes in the size, color, or shape of a mole may indicate melanoma.
That’s why a preventive skin examination by an experienced plastic surgeon should never be neglected in autumn — ensuring that any suspicious moles are removed in time, if necessary.
Moles and Dermatological Examination
Moles are benign skin lesions formed by melanocytic cells. They can appear congenitally on various parts of the face, neck, and body, or develop later in life.
While excessive sun exposure is a major factor in mole formation, hormonal and genetic factors also play a significant role.
A timely examination by an experienced plastic surgeon greatly reduces the risk of skin cancer.
The surgeon performs a clinical evaluation of the mole, while a biopsy provides the definitive diagnosis as to whether it is benign or malignant.
Moles that are aesthetically unappealing, located in visible or easily irritated areas (such as the face or neck), or show early signs of malignant transformation, should be safely removed.
Mole Removal — Safe and Painless
Whether for aesthetic or medical reasons, moles can be removed through surgical excision, Laser, or shaving excision technique by an experienced plastic surgeon — minimizing the risk of visible scarring.
Both methods are safe, and the surgeon will decide which is most suitable based on the clinical assessment of each mole.
Surgical Mole Excision
A completely safe and painless procedure, surgical excision is ideal for large, dysplastic, or potentially cancerous moles.
Under local anesthesia, the mole is removed along with a small margin of healthy skin to prevent recurrence or metastasis if malignancy is present.
The area is then sutured with absorbable stitches using precise surgical techniques, leaving no visible scar.
Laser Mole Removal
An advanced and precise method for removing small, superficial, and flat benign moles.
The Laser vaporizes the mole tissue painlessly and with high accuracy, without damaging the surrounding skin or leaving scars.
Healing is very fast, and the risk of scarring is minimal, making it an excellent option for safe, aesthetic mole removal.
Mole Removal with the Shaving Excision Technique
For superficial moles, the shaving excision technique provides excellent cosmetic results without the need for stitches.
Under local anesthesia, the surgeon carefully removes the protruding part of the mole by gently shaving the surface of the skin.
Although mole removal can be performed any time of the year, autumn is the ideal season, since reduced sun exposure and avoiding seawater minimize the risk of infection, discoloration, or skin irregularities.
