About Cysts and Their Removal

A cyst is a closed pocket of tissue that can contain fluid, keratin, or other material.

What is Mole Removal?

Ron and Alex Caniglia perform mole removal with expert attention to facial aesthetics, selecting the most appropriate technique, surgical or laser, to achieve a smooth, discreet outcome.

More about Mole Removal & Laser Mole Removal

Removing a mole or cyst is typically straightforward, but achieving minimal scarring requires expertise, which Caniglia Facial Plastic Surgery excels at. Moles are typically removed surgically or with a laser, while multiple techniques can facilitate cyst removal. If there is a serious concern about the mole being cancerous, a specialized procedure called Mohs surgery may be used. This should be performed by a specialist for the best results.

Surgical Mole Removal

The skin around the mole is cut, the mole is removed, and the remaining edges are stitched together. This procedure is performed under local anesthesia and usually takes only a few minutes.

Laser Mole Removal

A laser of concentrated light energy is used on the mole which breaks down the pigment and tissue. This precise method minimizes damage to surrounding skin and reduces the risk of scarring.

Simple Excision

Cutting around the mole or cyst and stitching the edges together for a clean removal.

Mohs Surgery

A specialized technique for cancerous moles, removing layers of skin until no abnormal cells remain.

Curettage and Electrodesiccation

Scraping off the mole or cyst and using electrical current to destroy the remaining tissue.

What About the Scar?

Both surgical and laser mole removal can leave some degree of scarring, but how visible it is depends on the technique and the skill of the provider. Surgical removal fully eliminates the mole but may leave a fine line that can heal to a light, flat mark when performed with precise attention to facial tissue planes. Laser removal may lighten or smooth a mole with little surface disruption, but it isn’t suitable for all mole types and may not remove deeper lesions completely.

Many patients find a small, subtle scar far less noticeable than a dark or raised mole. Drs. Ron and Alex Caniglia evaluate whether surgical or laser mole removal treatment will produce the best cosmetic outcome and use advanced facial plastic surgery techniques to minimize scarring and help the area blend naturally with surrounding skin.

What is the Recovery Like?

Recovery from mole or cyst removal in Scottsdale, AZ at Caniglia Facial Plastic Surgery involves the following:

Stitches Removal

If stitches are used, they are removed within one week.

Healing

The wound will take a few months to heal fully. Initially, scars may look red and raised but will gradually fade and flatten with proper care. The final scar appearance typically occurs after about a year.

Care Tips

Keep the wound clean and dry during initial healing. Protect the scar from the sun for at least the first six months, using a good sunscreen or covering it when exposed. Sun exposure can cause permanent darkening of the scar.
