Moles & Blemishes (Tips & Treatments To Try For Relief)
Say Goodbye to Moles and Blemishes at Clinic 5C Dermatology
Whether they’re caused by genetics or years of sun exposure, skin imperfections like moles and blemishes can be frustrating to live with, especially when they’re highly visible.
Fortunately, our expert dermatologists at Clinic 5C Dermatology in Spokane offer advanced, minimally invasive solutions to help you achieve clear, healthy-looking skin.
Why Moles Matter: Cosmetically and Medically
While many moles are completely harmless, they can still be a cosmetic concern for some. Typically, moles appear as brown spots on the skin. They appear larger and darker than freckles, but some can be more prominent or irregular in appearance.
In some cases, moles can signal something more serious, such as skin cancer or melanoma. That’s why it’s important to have them examined early, especially if you notice changes in their size, shape, or color.
What Causes Moles?
Moles form when pigment-producing cells in the skin (melanocytes) grow in clusters instead of spreading evenly. This causes a localized darkening of the skin, resulting in the mole’s familiar appearance.
Most people develop moles during childhood and adolescence, and they are generally harmless. However, it’s wise to monitor them regularly and protect your skin from harmful UV rays to prevent potential issues. Wearing sunscreen, protective clothing, and avoiding excessive sun exposure can make a big difference.
Personalized Mole Treatment Options
At Clinic 5C, we understand that no two moles, or skin types, are exactly alike. That’s why we take a customized approach to care. During your in-person consultation, we’ll assess your skin, listen to your goals, and create a tailored treatment plan that suits your unique needs.
Treatment Options Can Include:
Excision (Surgical Removal)
A minimally invasive method that allows us to remove moles with precision. We also offer procedures to ensure the area heals smoothly and with minimal scarring.
Laser Therapy
This cutting-edge treatment breaks up clusters of pigment and stimulates the body’s natural healing response by promoting collagen and elastin production. It’s especially effective for smaller moles and pigmentation issues.
