Mole removal Dubai
Moles, also known as melanocytic nevi, are common skin growths that appear in any part of the body. Moles are usually brown or black and made up of melanocyte clusters. Melanocytes are responsible for melanin production, a natural pigment that gives colour to the skin.
Melanocyte cells are spread throughout the skin to produce melanin and maintain skin colour, but when they grow in clusters, the result is a mole formation. Most moles do not cause any problem or discomfort, except the cancerous ones, which can prove fatal and may need to undergo the procedure of mole removal in Dubai and other relevant lines of treatment.
Common Types of Moles Removal In Dubai
Moles can grow alone or in groups. Most moles appear by 25 years of age, and it is normal to have up to 40 moles. The 3 types of commonly seen moles are:
Congenital moles – The moles present by birth or develop in the first 2 years are called congenital nevi. They are oval or round-shaped raised patches. Generally harmless, but if they grow beyond 8mm in diameter or 2-3 inches long, it’s best to consult an expert.
Dysplastic moles – They are bigger and flatter than regular ones, irregularly shaped and unevenly coloured. Also known as atypical moles, they are darker inwards and lighter outwards. A person with more than 4 dysplastic moles indicates a higher chance of developing melanoma, a type of skin cancer.
Acquired moles – They are the ones that appear during the first 20-30 years of life. In most cases, an acquired nevus is benign, but those who develop more than 50 such nevi may likely have melanoma.
When is a mole removal necessary?
Men and women who have either of the following condition should consider mole removal in Dubai:
- A cosmetic mole is one that is unsightly, irritating or catches on clothing or while shaving.
- A suspicious mole that changes in size, shape, or colour, as well as itches and bleeds.
- A mole may need to be removed if there is a risk that it will become malignant (cancerous) or if it has become a nuisance (for example, catching on clothes or a razor).
Procedure for Mole Removal in Dubai
Mole removal is a quick procedure performed on an outpatient basis. For a pain-free procedure, a local anaesthetic is administered. As per the consultation, Dr Demetrius uses one of the two methods of mole removal in Dubai in his clinic:
Surgical excision – This procedure cuts out the mole and some area around it, then closes with sutures.
Surgical shave – This method is used for smaller moles, as it shaves the mole and clears the area using a scalpel.
Post-surgery, there will be a scar, which will fade eventually. The doctor will prescribe some painkillers to make you comfortable.
Recovery Time
Healing time is determined by your overall health and the size of the mole removed. Mole removal will most likely take two to three weeks to heal. You will be able to go about your daily activities during this time, but you may experience some soreness. Follow your healthcare provider’s wound care instructions to promote healing and prevent infection.
Aftercare
After mole removal in Dubai, you’ll have a wound that needs to be kept clean, moist, and covered. Make sure to change the dressing on a daily basis or as directed by your healthcare provider. After you’ve healed, make sure to apply sunscreen to the exposed area.

Scars after Mole Removal
The appearance of a scar from mole removal is determined by the original mole.
The body will attempt to repair the wound in the first few days following the procedure of mole removal in Dubai. Scarring is the body’s natural way to respond to injuries that penetrate the skin’s deeper layers.
To heal the skin where the mole was previously, the body produces collagen. This substance is the primary component of connective tissues such as skin. Injury-induced collagen is thicker and denser than normal collagen. Although the wound area may be slightly raised and red for 1-2 months, the scar usually fades and flattens over time.
Besides, our cosmetic surgeon uses cutting-edge techniques to minimize scarring. Rarely do some people with very dark or light skin have an abnormal healing response, resulting in larger scars than usual.
