Mole Removal.
Mole removal is a clinical procedure that requires both diagnostic precision and aesthetic skill. At Modern Dermatology, our board-certified dermatologists evaluate and remove moles for both medical and cosmetic reasons, utilizing advanced surgical techniques to ensure safety and minimal scarring.
Diagnosis Before Clearance.
Safety is our primary objective. Every mole removal at our South Tampa office begins with a polarized dermatoscopic exam. This allows our board-certified team to identify deep cellular patterns invisible to the naked eye. Whether you seek removal for cosmetic reasons or medical concern, every specimen is sent for histopathological review to confirm total clearance and absolute safety.
Medical Moles
Atypical moles (dysplastic nevi) that show clinical high-risk features. These require full-thickness excision to ensure 100% cellular clearance.
Aesthetic Moles
Benign but bothersome raised moles on the face or body. We utilize precision shave techniques to clear the surface with maximum aesthetic discretion.
Congenital Moles
Birthmarks present since childhood that may be changing or located in nuisance areas. We provide definitive surgical pathing for these unique lesions.

Frequently Asked.
What is the best way to remove a mole on the face?
For raised facial moles, we typically use a specialized shave excision. This provides an excellent aesthetic outcome without the need for stitches.
Will I have a scar?
Any surgical entry results in a mark, but we use advanced techniques to ensure the scar is as faint and flat as possible.
Is the procedure painful?
No. We use local anesthesia to completely numb the area. You will be awake and comfortable throughout the brief surgical process.
Do all removed moles need a biopsy?
Yes. At Modern Dermatology, we send every mole specimen to a dermatopathologist for microscopic review to ensure your absolute safety.
Can moles be removed with a laser?
Laser is rarely recommended for true moles because it destroys the tissue, making a biopsy impossible. Surgical removal is the medical gold standard.
