If you reside in Oak Park, CA and are searching for high-quality mole removal treatment, we have good news for you! Our team is here to help, and we have a location in Thousand Oaks that is within a 30 minute drive of Oak Park! At Mole Removal Ventura County, we use an advanced form of mole removal called radiofrequency ablation. This treatment is applied directly to the mole and takes the mole right off of the skin, catching all of the mole cells and removing as little healthy skin as possible.
Everyone says the only two certain things in life are death and taxes… but you can’t forget about moles too! Almost everybody gets them in some form or another, and the average person will get about 10-40 moles on their body over the course of their lifetime. Their moles will likely come in all different shapes and sizes, and may range from flesh colored to black in color, symmetrical and circular to oddly misshapen, or from small to large. Most moles are harmless, but the moles that are black, oddly misshapen, and particularly large are less common but most likely to be harmful, because these can be potential signs of melanoma. Melanoma is a dangerous disease, so if you have any moles that are suspicious, especially if they are growing or changing, we recommend you get your moles examined by a dermatologist as soon as possible. With your health, you never want to take risks, so it’s usually a good idea to see a doctor in this case.
Who Can Get Mole Removal?
While almost everyone has moles, not everyone knows if mole removal is right for them. There are certain patients who don’t know if they can safely get mole removal. For example, patients with dark skin and patients who are pregnant or breastfeeding may not know if they are safe candidates for mole removal. Fortunately, our minimally invasive treatment is very safe for everyone, and our clinics are very glad to be able to serve everyone, while different treatments might not. There are some important things to know about mole removal treatment, though:
Patients with dark skin looking for mole removal will be very happy to find out that our radiofrequency ablation is totally safe for them! Other treatments attack moles by targeting the melanin in the moles, which is a problem for patients with African-American skin, because they have high natural levels of melanin in their skin. This means that when other treatments target melanin in moles, they also target healthy skin! On the other hand, our radiofrequency technology does not target melanin specifically, so patients of all beautiful skin tones can find relief of their mole problems with us!
Another patient class that may have some misgivings about mole treatment is mothers who are pregnant or breastfeeding. These mothers frequently have to make sacrifices for the health of their beautiful babies and would avoid anything that’s unsafe. We’re happy to report that these treatments are safe for new mothers, and they’re especially important if their moles are potentially harmful! Our radiofrequency ablation mole removal treatment does not harm the baby in the mother’s womb, so if treatment is necessary, we can do it. There are some complications with how radically pregnancy can change a woman’s hormones, so if treatment can wait, we recommend waiting until after pregnancy and breastfeeding if possible.
