A wide selection of mole removal approaches:

There is a popular method of mole removal and it is called elliptical excision. Removing moles from the skin requires the application of anesthesia. The local anesthesia will enable the patient to have his moles removed without suffering pain on the exact spot where the mole is located.

 Compared to other mole removal treatments such as cryotherapy or laser, this method is a bit different. Unfortunately, with this method, scarring is a huge probability. They can't be avoided. It doesn't require a lot of money and you can expect lesser pain when this method is used.

Scars will fade with time. But a slight trace will always remain. That doesn't stop people from choosing this method, though. The scarring will be dealt with later on with other specialty surgeries or treatments, after the operation.

It would seem that elliptical excision poses more risk than shave excision. The danger seemingly stems from the fact that the skin will have to be deeply cut into or incised. Cutting the skin too much, too deep, opens the possibilities of skin infections. Future complications could occur from this. Bleeding could be more profuse. The wound could become worse. This would mean that the recovery period for the wound will generally be longer than in other methods.

The area encompassed by the operation will be very large. The skin is cut in oval shape. It covers the mole and the skin surrounding it. The effect on the skin will be greater.

Why, then, do people choose this method if scarring and skin damage are likely probabilities?

The probability of recurrence of moles is a little less in this case. The treatment addresses the core problem. Even the moles that have the deepest roots can be removed. Almost all the moles in the body can be removed through this method.

Doctors also recommend cryotherapy. Laser also comes highly recommended. The more you research on the different types of surgeries; the better will be your knowledge on the advantages and disadvantages of each procedure. Obviously, cryotherapy is about the use of very low temperatures. The cold condition is used to kill the cells present within the skin moles of all types. Liquid nitrogen is the main ingredient needed. Freezing of the cells can be easily accomplished. However, this might not work in the case of moles that have deep roots. This is applicable for superficial moles. This is a major shortcoming for this method. When you insist on applying this method on deeply rooted moles, you might be inviting disaster.

There are two ways of performing this. The first would require the use of liquid nitrogen. It is directly applied on the moles. The other option is to use frozen liquid nitrogen. It will be directly injected into the layers of the skin. You will use a frozen instrument. This will effectively kill the cells on the skin moles.

Since moles in the deep layers of the skin will be untouched, the healing process is quicker. You will only remove the moles that are close to the surface of the skin.
