Learn More About Mole Removal Malibu
When moles are removed with a proper technique and technology by a surgeon, the chances of recurrence or growing back is less than 1% of all cases. At Mole Removal Ventura County, our mole removal procedure is more thorough and intricate, compared to other mole removal treatment offices. Our plastic surgeons use radiofrequency ablation to remove moles from the root. Removing the mole from the root ensures that no pigmented cell is left on the skin. While this process is permanent, it is also very gentle on your skin because we always care about leaving good after results for you. However, moles do have the potential of growing back after getting them removed if the mole is removed at home or with a natural remedy. Many patients use apple cider vinegar and other mole pens, but these are extremely unsafe, can cause severe scarring and have a high recurrence rate! Other mole removal techniques that have a more basic approach, such as cutting off a mole, shaving off a mole, or freezing off a mole poses a higher risk of the mole growing back. The at-home techniques and other cutting off methods may leave some of the mole cells or tissue behind causing the moles to grow back. Most moles will grow back within 6 months if this is the case.
Our Office:
Less than 1% recurrence rate. That means less than 1% of patients have their mole grow back
Other Offices:
5-15% recurrence rate. This depends on the technique they use, how much of the mole tissue is left and various healing factors.
At Home Remedies:
50-60% recurrence rate. This means that more than half of the time, your mole will grow back!

Why do Moles Grow in the First Place?
Moles are common skin growths caused by clusters of cells called melanocytes. Moles, skin tags, cherry angiomas, birthmarks, congenital nevi and other types of common skin lesions can appear anywhere on the body and vary in size, shape, and color. While most moles are benign, they can often cause cosmetic concerns or discomfort. Cosmetic mole removal is often a sought after procedure for those looking to enhance their appearance and confidence. People choose to remove moles for various cosmetic as well as medical reasons. A mole in a prominent, highly visible area, such as the face or neck, can impact self-esteem, while a mole located on an area of friction on the body may cause irritation or discomfort. These moles or skin tags can even become infected and cause more serious medical health issues if left untreated. Some individuals prefer to move forward with mole removal procedures even for cosmetic mole in order to eliminate the risk of skin changes in the future, some of which could potentially turn into skin cancer. Whether for cosmetic or medical reasons, mole removal can significantly improve one’s overall quality of life. There are some popular mole removal techniques that are often used at dermatologists’ offices and medical spas. These popular mole removal treatments include the following:
Shave Excision for Mole Removal: This method involves shaving the mole off at the skin’s surface with a blade. It’s a quick yet quite an invasive procedure that typically leaves scarring.
Surgical Excision for Mole Removal: The mole is removed and the area is stitched to promote proper healing.
Laser Mole Removal: This technique uses laser energy to break down the mole’s pigment, making it a good option for smaller or flat moles. It’s non-invasive and leaves little to no scarring.
Radiofrequency Ablation for Mole Removal: This advanced method uses heat frequency energy to remove the mole from the root, not just from the skin’s surface. This technique is minimally invasive, effective and reduces the chances of scarring, since it is gentle on the skin. This is also the technique we use at Mole Removal Ventura County to remove moles.
