A mole is not always an ornament. Sometimes it just bothers and you want to say goodbye to her. It is not worth taking any measures yourself, it is better to contact a specialist. Removing moles in an oncology center in Moscow has been a long time and efficiently. We’ll talk about this a bit later, but for now we’ll learn more about the problem itself.
What is nevus
That's what moles are called - spots on the skin. They appear throughout life, but sometimes the baby is already born with a mark. Adolescence is the period when there are a lot of nevi.
They come in different colors. Some of them rise above the surface of the skin, while others spread on it.
A little about the types of spots:
- Hemangiomas. Arise at any age, hanging, something like a wart. This species includes: small red nodules, non-vascular moles.
- Convex. Appear in the deep layers of the skin, small in size, hairs are found on them.
- Blue. The formations are dense and smooth, the appearance is like a sphere, the color is purple or light blue.
- Large age spots. Congenital formations. People are growing, and they are increasing.
The classification of moles depends not only on size, but also on color and shape. Speaking about the first characteristic, it can be stated that nevi are brown, red, pink, blue or very dark.
Why and when moles are removed
Removal of moles in an oncology center in Moscow is carried out by highly qualified specialists. They will answer all questions of interest to the patient, but still it’s not bad, and he himself should know what to be prepared for.
Do I need to remove the nevi? A positive answer is guaranteed in two cases:
- According to physiological indications. Moles are in places where they constantly rub on clothes, are injured when cutting, shaving, or during other procedures. Frequent damage to the nevus can lead to cancer.

There are several methods to get rid of a mole. After talking with the patient, a highly qualified specialist will offer one of them. The Blokhin Cancer Center (Moscow) practices the following methods for removing the nevus:
- Surgical. Used to get rid of large, deep formations or malignant tumors.
- Exposure to liquid nitrogen (cryodestruction) is often used. There is one drawback of this method - the risk of injury to healthy tissues.
- Electrocoagulation is a method of influencing the nevus using electric current. This method can not remove moles on the face.
- Getting rid of formations using heat (radio wave method). The safest and most gentle way.
- Moles are removed at the oncology center in Moscow using a laser. During the procedure, healthy tissues are not damaged.
All methods, except surgical, are used only to get rid of benign tumors.
Surgical method
This method is considered the oldest, but reliable, is used for suspected cancer. The disadvantages of this method include the formation of scars.
Surgical removal of the mole is performed under local anesthesia. Nevus is removed with a scalpel along with a small area of healthy skin. After this, the wound is treated and sutured. The duration of the procedure is about an hour. Healing takes place within a few weeks. The operation is performed only in a specialized clinic, where, after removal, a histological analysis of the excised skin is performed.
Now turn to the patient reviews. They say that removing the mole surgically eliminates the problem forever. This procedure is reliable and safe. In addition, the operation is painless.
To the positive aspects, people also attribute the fact that after the procedure a histological analysis is done. Thus, the prevention of the appearance of a malignant tumor is carried out.
Electrocoagulation
This method of removing moles has gained wide popularity. An electric current loop is used. The procedure is carried out under the supervision of a specialist. Mostly current is applied at a high frequency, and the power is regulated depending on the size of the spot.
The operation lasts no more than twenty minutes. If the patient has a low pain threshold, local anesthesia is used.
You can not do this operation, if there are: blood diseases, infections, malignant tumors.
The positive aspects of this procedure include:
- Lack of bleeding.
- Fast healing (eight to ten days).
- No scars, scars and blemishes.
Patients about this procedure say the following: the operation is fairly quick and painless. True, the next day there are small pain, but quickly pass. The stain remains a little lighter than the skin color, but there are no scars and scars.
Prices also delight customers.
Radio wave method
The formation is affected by high frequency radio waves. You should not be afraid of this; there is no negative effect on the human body. The advantages of this method include:
- Duration - no more than twenty minutes.
- Removing moles by the radio wave method eliminates damage to healthy tissues.
- The procedure is performed on any part of the body and does not have postoperative scars.
- Healthy tissue is not damaged. There is no bleeding, swelling, inflammation and redness.
- Conducting histological analysis.
This method is the only possible if the mole is close to the eyeball.
The procedure for removing moles by the radio wave method is as follows:
- Local anesthesia is performed.
- For the operation, a radio knife is used, which performs several functions at the same time: it cuts tissues, stops bleeding, and disinfects the incision site.
Reviews of patients who underwent this procedure are positive. They say that the operation is painless, does not take much time.
A large number of people indicate that thanks to this method of removing moles, they no longer appear and do not create problems.
The short recovery period, during which special care for the injured area is not required, also pleases patients.
Using a laser
Now let's talk about another method that has often been used recently - laser removal. It has many advantages:
- The integrity of healthy tissues is not violated.
- The procedure is carried out in an outpatient clinic.
- Laser removal of moles (patient reviews) is painless, there are no postoperative scars and scars.
The procedure takes no more than five minutes. The laser beam not only removes formations, but also strengthens small capillaries, and this eliminates bleeding.
The filmed material is sent to histology.
The recovery period is small, a couple of days. It is forbidden to visit the solarium for two months and direct sunlight will have to be avoided.
For those who wish to prefer the method of laser removal of moles, reviews of former patients will be interesting.
And they say that the procedure is painless, does not take much time. If desired, it can be done under local anesthesia.
Other patients add to the foregoing that the procedure is highly effective. Nevus does not appear even a few years after it. The place where the mole was was a bit lighter than the rest of the skin.
Postoperative period
After removing the mole, what should I do? This question cannot be ignored. Proper wound care eliminates complications.
After the procedure, a black crust appears on the spot where the mole was. Two days it is necessary to carry out its processing, alternating a solution of manganese with diamond greens. In addition, wound healing ointments, which include an antibiotic, are prescribed.
In no case should you tear off the crust. Otherwise, the wound will open, and the healing process will slow down.
During the week, you should give up: visiting the pool, baths and taking a bath. It is advisable that water does not get on the crust.
No makeup, only creams and sun lotions are allowed.
The doctor will tell you about all the above activities after the removal of moles in the oncology center in Moscow.
Conclusion
In order to avoid complications, one should strictly follow all the recommendations of a specialist. Only in this case, you can be sure that there will be no negative consequences after the procedure. Otherwise, a slight temperature may rise, a tumor scar may appear, and an infection may occur. And one more thing: try to perform surgery only in medical institutions. Of course, the financial side may also bother you. Removing moles (the cost depends on the size of the spot and the method by which the manipulation occurs) is an affordable procedure.
On average, removing stains up to 0.5 centimeters costs from 300 to 3000 rubles. The most expensive is to get rid of education surgically.
