Birthmarks and moles

Removal of birthmarks and moles and leaving minimal, if any, scarring requires considerable technical skill and finesse. Treatment may include excision, laser, or a combination of both. Since certain birthmarks and moles may make cancerous changes later in life, some people prefer to have them removed just to be on the safe side. It is important to remember that any changes in the appearance of a mole or birthmark should be examined by a doctor immediately.
