Mole & Lesion Removal
At Refresh Beauty & Wellness in Glendale, we offer refined, in-office mole and lesion removal designed for patients who want a polished cosmetic result or the reassurance of proper evaluation. Every plan is tailored to your skin type, the lesion’s features, and how your skin is likely to heal—because the finish matters.
Cosmetic outcomes vary. Your provider will discuss what to expect based on lesion depth, location, and your skin’s healing tendencies.
Why Choose Refresh Beauty & Wellness in Glendale?
Mole and lesion removal should feel both clinical and curated—safe evaluation paired with an aesthetic eye. At Refresh, we plan not only for removal, but for how the area will look when it’s healed and photographed. Any lesion that changes in size, shape, color, or symptoms should be evaluated.
Cosmetic finesse + medical judgment
Technique choice matters for the final finish. We select the approach based on lesion type, placement, and your skin’s behavior—so the result looks intentional, not “treated.”
Aftercare that protects your outcome
Healing is where your result is made. We guide you through wound care, sun protection, and scar-support strategies to help the area settle beautifully over time.
- Comfort-first: local anesthesia for a calm, efficient visit.
- Time-efficient: many removals can be completed in-office.
- Evaluation when indicated: biopsy/pathology guidance for suspicious lesions.
How Mole & Lesion Removal Works
Most removals are performed in-office with local anesthesia. Depending on the lesion’s features and location, your provider may recommend shave excision, electrosurgical techniques, or other appropriate methods. If a lesion is clinically concerning, biopsy may be recommended.
Technique options (chosen case-by-case)
- Shave excision: removes certain raised/superficial lesions level with the skin.
- Electrosurgical techniques: may remove select lesions with controlled precision.
- Cryotherapy: used for some benign lesions when appropriate.
- Laser (select cases): sometimes discussed for certain pigmented lesions; suitability varies.
Your plan is selected for safety, skin type, and a refined cosmetic finish.
What to expect
- Consult + skin assessment (dermoscopy when indicated)
- Local numbing for comfort
- Removal with the selected method
- Aftercare plan + follow-up guidance
If pathology is needed, you’ll receive clear next-step guidance.
