Mole & Skin Tag Removal
Moles are skin growths made up of cells that produce colour (pigment). A mole can appear anywhere on the skin, alone or in groups. Most people get a few moles during their first 20 years of life. They are usually brown in color but can be blue, black, or flesh-colored. Most moles are harmless and don't cause pain or other symptoms unless you rub them or they bump against something.
Skin tags are small, soft pieces of skin that stick out on a thin stem. They most often appear on the neck, armpits, upper trunk, and body folds. The cause of skin tags is not known. They are harmless.
Most moles and skin tags don't require treatment. But sometimes people want to remove them for cosmetic reasons or because they cause discomfort when they rub against clothing or get caught in jewelry.
How do our physicians remove moles and skin tags?
Your physicians may remove a mole or skin tag in any of these ways:
Cutting it off. Skin tags may be snipped off with a scalpel or surgical scissors. Some moles can be "shaved" off flush with the skin. Other moles may have cells that go underneath the skin, so your doctor might make a deeper cut to remove the entire mole and prevent it from growing back. This cut may require stitches.
Freezing it with liquid nitrogen. Your doctor will swab or spray a small amount of super-cold liquid nitrogen on the mole or skin tag. You might have a small blister where the mole or skin tag was, but it will heal on its own.
Burning it off. An electric current passes through a wire that becomes hot and is used to burn off the upper layers of the skin. You may need more than one treatment to remove a mole. Skin tags are removed by burning through the narrow stem that attaches them to the skin. The heat helps prevent bleeding.
The procedure may hurt a little, therefore, the physician will numb the area with an anesthetic before he or she begins. If the procedure causes any bleeding, your doctor may apply a medicine that helps stop the bleeding. Then he or she will put a bandage on it. These procedures usually leave no scars or marks.

What is Radio Frequency (RF) surgery?
RF Surgery is the passage of high-frequency radio waves into soft tissue for the purpose of making very fine and precise surgical incisions. The predictable punctures made by RF surgery mean minimal or no scarring, quicker healing and immediate improvement in your appearance.
How does the Pellevé RF surgery differ from traditional surgery?
Because RF uses radio waves instead of a scalpel, very fine, precise incisions can be made. Only the tissue cells adjacent to the wire electrode are affected and are vaporised instead of being cut through with manual pressure, as with a scalpel. Scalpels and scissors crush tissue, whereas radio waves can coagulate blood vessels as they make fine cuts, resulting in minimal bleeding, bruising and swelling.
The Pellevé Surgical Experience
RF surgery can be undertaken in the doctor’s office. Topical anaesthesia is often used and depending on the procedure being performed, may sometimes take only a few minutes. The results are excellent and consistent, with minimal bruising, swelling, scarring or other complications. It’s gentle and effective and recovery time is minimal.
Am I a good candidate for Pellevé RF surgery?
If you have unsightly moles or raised lesions, facial vessels, drooping eyelids or unwanted bags under your eyes, you could be a potential candidate for RF surgery. Ask your GP or Physician today for more details on how RF surgery can benefit you.
