A mole typically appears as a round, flat or slightly raised lesion on the skin and are typically pink or brown in colour. It is normal to have moles on your body and most moles are completely harmless; however you should seek advise from your Healthcare Provider if you believe your mole looks suspicious.
At Revitalise Skincare Clinic, we offer mole and lesion removal in Bath, Somerset and Wiltshire, using our advanced Plasma Surgical treatment. Read on to find out more about the treatment and the benefits of lesion removal.
What are the benefits of lesion removal?
Removing benign moles can be a proactive step towards maintaining overall health and preventing potential complications. While benign moles are generally harmless, there are several reasons why their removal can be beneficial.
Removing benign moles can alleviate cosmetic concerns. You may feel self-conscious or unhappy about the appearance of certain moles; especially if they are located in highly visible areas such as the face or neck. Removing these moles can enhance your self-esteem and improve overall confidence.
What is your procedure for lesion removal?
Moles are a common feature for many people. While some moles are harmless, others can be unsightly or even cause discomfort. Fortunately, advancements in medical technology have made mole removal safer, more effective, and less invasive than ever before. One innovation is plasma surgical technology, a cutting-edge approach that is revolutionising the way moles are removed. In this blog post we will explore the procedure and benefits of using plasma surgical technology for mole removal.
What is Plasma BT?
Plasma BT surgical technology treatment harnesses the power of plasma, the fourth state of matter, to perform precise and minimally invasive surgical procedures. Plasma is an ionised gas composed of positively and negatively charged particles. When it is applied to tissue, it generates a controlled beam of energy that can cut, coagulate, and sterilise with unparalleled precision.
The Procedure
The procedure for mole removal with plasma surgical technology is relatively straightforward and typically follows these steps:
1. Consultation: The process begins with a consultation with our Medical Nurse Practitioner, Arvin, who will assess the mole and determine if plasma surgical technology is the appropriate treatment option. During the consultation, Arvin will discuss the procedure, answer any questions, and address any concerns the patient may have.
2. Preparation: Before the procedure, the patient’s skin is thoroughly cleaned and prepped to ensure a sterile surgical environment. Local anesthesia may be applied to numb the area and minimize discomfort during the procedure.
3. Treatment: Using a specialised plasma device, Arvin carefully applies the plasma energy to the surface of the mole. The energy penetrates the skin, targeting the pigment-producing cells within the mole and breaking them down without causing damage to surrounding tissue.
4. Healing: After the treatment, the area may appear red, swollen, or scabbed, which is a normal part of the healing process. Patients are advised to avoid picking at the scabs and to keep the area clean and protected to promote optimal healing.
5. Follow-up: Follow-up appointments may be scheduled to monitor the healing process and ensure that the mole has been successfully removed. In some cases, multiple treatments may be necessary to achieve the desired results.
Benefits of Plasma Surgical Technology
Plasma surgical technology offers several significant benefits for mole removal compared to traditional methods:
- Precision: Plasma energy can be precisely controlled and directed, allowing for targeted removal of the mole while minimising damage to surrounding tissue. This results in a more precise outcome.
- Minimally Invasive: Unlike traditional surgical techniques that require incisions and sutures, plasma surgical technology is minimally invasive. This results in smaller wounds and reduced scarring. This means faster healing times and less post-operative discomfort for patients.
- Versatility: Plasma surgical technology can be used to remove lesions of various sizes, shapes, and locations on the body. This versatility allows for greater flexibility in treatment options and ensures that patients can achieve their desired cosmetic outcomes.
- Safety: Plasma energy has inherent sterilising properties, reducing the risk of infection and complications during the procedure.
- Cosmetic Results: With plasma surgical technology, mole removal can be performed with greater precision and control, resulting in improved cosmetic outcomes and minimal scarring. This allows patients to achieve smoother, more even skin that looks natural.
How to check your moles
Whilst most moles and completely harmless, it is important to check for any signs of change or growth on our bodies. Here are some things to look out for –
- Changes in shape
- Changes in colour, if your mole was originally flesh toned and has become darker
- Starts itching, crusting, flaking or bleeding
- Gets larger or more raised from the skin
If you notice any of these signs then please contact your GP.
