With so many outdoor activities that the Juno Beach area has to offer, our residents tend to have ample sun exposure. While outdoor sports and leisure are great for your overall health and well-being, exposure to the sun’s harmful rays can contribute to the development of skin cancer. Approximately 8,000 people in Florida are diagnosed with skin cancer each year. If you are faced with a concerning mole or a simple benign mole that you want to be removed, the expert team at Perfect Skin Dermatology can help.
Mole removal options
Whether you were born with a mole or a birthmark that you dislike, or have developed skin tags or suspicious moles, we can address your concerns with various treatment options.
- Surgical excision – this is one of the most common ways to remove a mole that has been previously biopsied and is proven to be atypical or malignant.
- Shave removal – requires no sutures and is quick. Best for cosmetic mole removals and for lesions that have a component raised above the skin surface.
- Punch biopsy – uses a punch device that resembles a miniature apple-core appliance. A full thickness of skin is removed and sutures are placed.
- Snip excision – curved scissors are used to safely and gently remove skin tags (removal is considered cosmetic by all insurance companies).
