Everybody will have moles, or minor facial blemishes such as skin tags. These are often harmless, but unsightly blemishes of the skin. Le Sands Clinic provides a treatment to remove individual or multiple blemishes within the comfort of our beautiful Brighton Le Sands Clinic
PLEASE NOTE: for skin tags on other parts of your body, these may require other surgical options. Dr Saliba will advise during your initial consultation.
Mole removal is a minor surgical procedure, carried out under local anesthetic at Brighton le Sands Clinic. This is a private procedure
Mole removal should only ever be undertaken by an accredited medical professional. It would normally involve the numbing of the area with a local anesthetic, and then mole surgically extracted. Dr Saliba then stitches up the resulting minor wound. Your mole removal also includes the removal of your stitches often after 1 week.
We will also send your mole off for pathology tests post extraction and advise you of your results when available.
Every patient is different and this will depend also on the individual. You should expect to set aside 1 hour for an individual mole removal. Dr Saliba will advise at your initial consultation what you should expect
All invasive procedures carry some element of risk. There is a risk of post extraction infection. This is rare, but should be considered a risk, Dr Saliba will monitor you in the week after your minor surgery and inspect the wound when removing your stitches.
You will be sore on the site of the removal for a few days after the removal and have stitches on the wound for 1 week. You will also need the wound dressed for a period too.
We insist on seeing all patients for a detailed consultation as a first step. Please call 02 9567 0399 and arrange to book your private consultation with Dr Saliba at her Brighton Le Sands clinic.
