mole removal

The duration varies based on the size and location of the mole. Generally, Mole Removals are relatively quick, usually taking around 10-15 minutes.  

Recovery time varies, but most individuals can resume their daily activities within a day or two. Mild redness or a small scab might be present initially, but these effects should subside quickly. It is important to keep the area out of the sun and moisturized with Vaseline or Aquaphor initially.  

While the chance of a mole returning is relatively low, it’s still possible. Certain moles are more likely to recur despite removal. Other times, a mole that was previously removed can show signs of re-pigmentation in the future. If you notice any changes in the treated area or new growths, it’s advisable to schedule a follow-up appointment with your provider for evaluation. 

The cost of a Mole Removal varies depending on several factors including the size of the mole, the complexity of the procedure, and the individual’s insurance coverage. It’s best to consult with your insurance provider for the specifics of coverage. At Revelus Dermatology, we strive to provide high-quality care and transparency about estimated procedural costs. 

No, insurance will not cover the removal of a mole for cosmetic purposes. In the event you and your provider agree to remove a mole cosmetically, there will be an out-of-pocket charge. This will be discussed with you prior to the procedure and collected at the time of service.
