Las Vegas Dermatology Mole Removal Video

In this video, you will see a "Mole Removal" procedure by Dr. H.L. Greenberg of Las Vegas Dermatology, http://www.lasvegasdermatology.com. Dr. Greenberg is a dermatologist practicing in Las Vegas. In the video, you will see the process of a mole being removed using a scissors excision to the superficial fat. The area is prepped and cleansed with a surgical scrub. Lidocaine with epinephrine is used to anesthetize the tissue, and a hyfercator is used to burn the base of the excised area to stop the bleeding. The specimen was sent for pathology to evaluate, and the patient tolerated the procedure well without any complications. All that remains of the biopsy site is a small white scar the size of the mole that was removed. Moles typically are harmless growths, however if your mole grows, bleeds or changes, it should be evaluated by a professional. Unwanted moles that are not suspicious are considered to be harmless, and if their removal is desired, a cosmetic fee will be charged. If you have a suspicious mole, or would just like to have an unsightly mole removed. Call Las Vegas Dermatology today (702) 456-3120 to schedule a consultation.
