Mole removal is a medical and cosmetic procedure designed to eliminate moles from the skin using surgical or non-surgical techniques. This treatment can be performed for aesthetic purposes or medical reasons, such as taking a biopsy to rule out skin cancer.
At Dr. Akbari’s Aesthetic Center in Farmanieh, all mole removal procedures are performed using advanced technology and international medical standards, ensuring both the beauty and health of your skin.
What Is a Mole?
A mole forms when pigment-producing cells called melanocytes cluster together in one area of the skin. These cells are responsible for producing melanin — the pigment that gives color to your skin — and their accumulation results in the formation of a mole.
Key Facts About Moles
- Moles can appear at any stage of life, but they are most common during childhood and adolescence.
- The average person has between 10 and 45 moles.
- Their color varies depending on skin tone.
- Moles are typically round or oval, and may be flat or raised.
- Hormonal changes such as puberty or pregnancy can cause moles to enlarge or darken.
Types of Moles
- Common Moles: These are harmless and very common. They have a regular shape, smooth surface, and even color.
- Congenital Moles: These moles are present at birth and often grow as a person matures. They should be periodically checked by a dermatologist.
- Dysplastic (Atypical) Moles: These have irregular shapes and uneven coloring. They carry a higher risk of developing into melanoma, a serious type of skin cancer. Changes in these moles should always be evaluated and may require a biopsy.
Warning Signs of a Dangerous Mole
- Asymmetry or irregular borders
- Multiple colors within one mole
- Larger than normal (greater than 6 mm)
- Changes over time in size, shape, or color
- Itching, burning, bleeding, or discharge
If you notice any of these signs, visit Dr. Akbari’s Aesthetic Center in Farmanieh for a professional examination.
Mole Removal Methods
Mole removal is divided into two main categories:
1. Non-Surgical Mole Removal
Used for non-cancerous moles, these methods are quick and minimally invasive:
- Cryotherapy (Freezing):
Liquid nitrogen is applied to freeze the mole. The treated tissue falls off naturally within about two weeks.
Suitable for benign skin lesions as well. - Cauterization (Burning):
The upper layers of the skin are gently cauterized. The mole gradually fades or disappears after a few sessions.
2. Surgical Mole Removal
Surgical methods are both cosmetic and diagnostic, allowing for tissue samples to be tested for skin cancer.
- Shave Excision:
The mole is shaved off with a sterile blade, and the sample may be sent for laboratory testing. - Surgical Excision:
The entire mole, including deeper layers, is removed — ideal for suspicious or malignant moles.
At Dr. Akbari’s Clinic, both surgical and non-surgical procedures are performed by skilled professionals using state-of-the-art equipment.

At Dr. Akbari’s Aesthetic Center, all procedures are carried out under strict medical standards to minimize risks and ensure the best results.
Mole vs. Wart: Key Differences
Although both appear on the skin, moles and warts are entirely different:
| Feature | Mole | Wart |
|---|---|---|
| Cause | Cluster of pigment cells (melanocytes) | Skin growth caused by HPV virus |
| Shape | Round or oval, flat or slightly raised | Rough, uneven, and elevated |
| Color | Natural skin tone or darker | Flesh-colored or slightly darker |
| Contagious | No | Yes, if caused by HPV |
| Medical Concern | Should be checked if changing | Should be examined if persistent |
Recognizing the difference helps determine the right treatment approach and prevents unnecessary skin complications.
