Removing moles is a common way to improve your skin's health or appearance. At OC MedDerm, we offer two popular options: surgical mole removal and laser mole removal.

Surgical Mole Removal
How It Works: The mole is cut out using a small surgical tool. If the mole is big, you may need stitches.
Best for: moles that are deep or look unusual.

Why Choose This?
Removes the entire mole, including its root.
Can check the mole for any health risks.
Aftercare Tips: Keep the area clean and dry, and follow your doctor’s advice to avoid scarring.

Laser Mole Removal
How It Works: A laser removes the mole layer by layer.
Best For: Cosmetic removal, especially for moles on the face or sensitive areas.
Healing Time: You’ll heal in about 5–10 days, with less downtime.
