At Savannah Facial Plastic Surgery, we offer both traditional mole removal and advanced mole vaporization techniques for patients looking to improve the appearance of their skin. Whether you’re concerned about the look of a mole or its potential to change, our team provides safe, in-office procedures tailored to your needs and aesthetic goals.
Mole removal is a minor surgical procedure to excise unwanted or potentially concerning moles or skin lesions. It may be recommended when:
Dr. Timothy Minton, a double board-certified facial plastic surgeon, performs these removals with a focus on precision and minimizing visible scarring—especially important when treating areas on the face, neck, or décolletage.
Mole vaporization uses cutting-edge technology—such as CO₂ laser or radiofrequency energy—to gently vaporize unwanted moles, skin tags, and benign lesions. This approach offers a non-invasive, no-suture alternative to surgical excision.
But at Savannah Facial Plastic Surgery, we go even further.
In addition to standard technologies, we’ve developed proprietary mole vaporization techniques that enhance precision, reduce post-treatment redness, and accelerate healing. These methods are exclusive to our practice and designed with a cosmetic-first approach—ideal for patients concerned about skin appearance, especially on the face.
Many of our facelift, rhinoplasty, eyelid surgery, and brow lift patients choose to add mole removal or vaporization to their treatment plan. It’s a convenient way to address lingering skin concerns while already undergoing facial rejuvenation—ensuring your final results are as clean, smooth, and refined as possible.
Whether you're traveling from Savannah, Hilton Head, Bluffton, Jacksonville, or Charleston, our team can help you incorporate mole treatment into your surgical experience for a more complete aesthetic result.
