To each of you when you have congenital moles (from early childhood) or moles that have developed over time, when you want a correct diagnosis and want to know what treatment options are available to safely remove the lesion from your face without residual scarring.

HOW DOES IT WORK?

What are facial moles and why do they occur?

Facial moles are a common skin condition that can occur on any part of the face. They are small, raised, pigmented growths on the skin. Most moles are not painful and do not itch, but some can become irritated or bleed if rubbed or scratched, in which case a visit to the doctor is recommended. Although most moles are benign and harmless, some can be monitored or removed for medical or cosmetic reasons. It is recommended that you consult an experienced doctor, such as the SKINMED® team, for a proper assessment.

What diagnostic technologies are used in SKINMED®?

The experience of our specialists and the technologies used make it possible to make an accurate diagnosis, the most important step in the doctor-patient relationship. In SKINMED®, we use technology ATBM PHOTOFINDER, an integrated body scanner for monitoring at-risk moles, assisted by artificial intelligence. It can tell the doctor which lesions need to be analysed and excised or monitored further.

Frequently asked questions

What causes facial moles?

Facial moles are caused by an overgrowth of skin cells, which can be triggered by genetic factors or exposure to ultraviolet radiation from the sun or tanning beds. Moles can also occur during hormonal changes, such as those produced at puberty or during pregnancy.

Are facial moles dangerous?

Most facial moles are benign and harmless, but some can be monitored or removed for medical or cosmetic reasons. It is important that any newly appearing facial moles or those with actively observable changes, such as an increase in volume, contour, surface area or colour changes, are assessed by your dermatologist as they may be a sign of skin cancer or other medical conditions.

How can I tell if a facial mole is cancerous?

Signs of a potentially cancerous mole include asymmetry, irregular margins, colour changes and diameter larger than a pencil eraser. If you notice any of these changes or have concerns about a facial mole, it is important to have it clinically and dermatoscopically evaluated with a doctor who specializes in dermoscopy/ mole evaluation.

How are facial moles treated?

Treatment options for facial moles depend on the cause and severity of the lesion. If a mole is found to be cancerous or precancerous, it may need to be surgically removed, with histopathological examination for a correct diagnosis and subsequent assessment of treatment options. For aesthetic purposes, moles can also be removed by your dermatologist, who may use a variety of techniques, including excision or laser therapies.

Can any mole be removed by laser?

No. When lesions are potentially malignant or malignant, they CANNOT be removed with ablative laser or other destructive techniques. Their removal can only be achieved by surgical excision complemented by histopathological examination for correct diagnosis and subsequent treatment management, sometimes in association with the oncologist.

Can facial moles be prevented?

Preventing facial moles involves practising good skin hygiene, using sunscreen and protective clothing to prevent intense sun damage, and avoiding artificial tanning in the sun. Regular skin checks can also help detect any new or changing moles early.

If you have concerns about facial moles or other skin conditions, it is important to consult your dermatologist for evaluation and treatment options.
