At Palm Clinic, we use Surgitron radio wave technology for moles and skin tags removal. This means no surgery, scarring, bleeding or stitches, and the entire procedure takes only a few minutes. Below we discuss mole causes, moles symptoms and mole removal using Surgitron in more detail.
There are many different types of moles, but the main distinction that is important for your health is: is it benign (no danger to you), or does it have malignant features? Your Doctor can assess a mole best using a dermatoscope and, if any concerns are present, a biopsy will be required.
Skin tags are highly unlikely to be malignant and just tend to be of cosmetic, or functional concern.
Some common skin lesions are described below:

Benign moles tend to be asymptomatic. If your mole is causing any symptoms, we suggest seeing a GP who specialises in skin cancer care, or a dermatologist. Skin tags are usually asymptomatic, but can become irritated from chafing.
For cosmetic removal of benign moles and skin tags that do not exhibit any signs of skin cancer Palm Clinic, Auckland, NZ uses a non surgical treatment option called Surgitron.
Mole removal with Surgitron at Palm Clinic, Auckland, NZ
For mole removal for cosmetic reasons, Surgitron is able to remove the skin growths with minimal risk of scarring because the growths are simply shaved off level with the skin. That means no surgery, no scars, no bleeding and no stitches. Our clients are often surprised that the procedure can be done with minimal discomfort using local anaesthetic.
Liquid nitrogen (at your GP) is an alternative way to remove skin tags. It is not always preferable however as it can take multiple attempts and has an increased chance of causing hypopigmentation (permanent white spots on the skin).
Prevention remains key in preventing new moles appearing, and in protecting current moles. The basic advice is to slip, slop, slap. Slip on protective clothing to reduce sun exposure, slop on SPF and slap on a hat. Palm Clinic has an extensive range of sunscreen available to suit your skin type.
