If you’re in Chatsworth, CA in search of mole removal services, we are here to help! We have a mole removal clinic in Thousand Oaks that is more than capable of treating you with the utmost care. It’s usually a 45-50 minute drive away from Chatsworth and features an excellent care team with premium treatment. We use a treatment that is both uncommon and superior to the clinics around us called radiofrequency ablation. This means that the surgeon uses a “pen” with radiofrequency energy at the end of it to scrape off the moles, skin tags, cherry angiomas, congenital nevi, or other skin lesions that you would like treated.
Moles are common skin lesions that most people will experience at some point over the course of their lives. Moles range from flesh colored to black, and they can range in size from the size of a pen mark to larger than a pencil eraser. The smaller moles that are closer to the color of flesh are less likely than larger, discolored, and misshapen moles to be cancerous, but all moles are worth having examined by a dermatologist who can provide expertise and peace of mind to your specific situation.
Will Hair Grow Back After Mole Removal Treatment?
Sometimes, moles grow in areas that traditionally have hair that’s important for grooming purposes. This can happen on the scalp, eyebrow, and where mustaches may grow. This can lead patients to wonder whether hair will grow back after mole removal treatment. We’re pleased to inform you that patients are always happy with their hair growth after treatment, and that the doctors here understand your grooming needs and are very conscientious about keeping you looking good and feeling confident in your look!
First, plenty of times after mole removal treatment, hair loss grows back completely as normal! This doesn’t always happen, but it’s a real outcome that patients can hope for. Please don’t hesitate to bring this up as a concern if it’s something that you’re worried about. Whatever surgeon you’re working with should be more than willing to help assuage any fears you have about hair loss. When we do work with patients who have moles on areas where they’d like to keep their hair, our surgeons are extra careful to minimize the area of treatment and minimize any potential hair loss, because we want you looking and feeling as good as possible!
One spot in particular that’s very sensitive to any hair loss is the eyebrows. When the possibility for hair to grow back is uncertain, it’s understandable that this treatment can cause some amount of anxiety. Nobody would want a gap in their eyebrows for the rest of their life, right? This is an area that our doctors take a particular amount of care to treat the smallest area that they can while treating all of the affected mole cells. This helps us keep our patients looking their best, no matter what!
Stress can also be caused for this reason by moles that are on the scalp. This is for a similar reason – people understandably want their hair looking great, and they can worry that mole removal could permanently take away some of their hair! Again, many retain their standard hair growth after receiving our treatment. Additionally, even when standard hair growth doesn’t come back, the scalp has so many hair follicles that any hair loss won’t be noticed. If you do get mole removal treatment on the scalp, you should be careful combing and brushing your hair for a few days after treatment so you don’t impact the healing at the treatment site, but one way or another, we’re confident you’ll be happy with your luscious locks after treatment!
If you’re not sure what to do with the rest of your day after your treatment, allow us to give you some suggestions. Feel free to do your research, but hopefully this gets your mental gears turning!
