Condition Overview

What are MOLES?

Moles are common skin growths that can appear anywhere on the body, developing when pigment-producing cells grow in clusters. While most moles are harmless, some may require medical attention if they change in appearance. These growths can vary significantly in size, color, and texture, sometimes affecting both skin appearance and health concerns.

At Dermasurge, we specialise in mole assessment and advanced removal techniques. Dr. Hiba Injibar, a renowned dermatologist, combines her expertise with state-of-the-art diagnostic tools to evaluate moles and provide appropriate treatment options, ensuring optimal skin health and peace of mind.

Symptoms

Moles are common skin growths that form when melanocytes grow in clusters, appearing as small dark spots on the skin.
They typically present as round or oval spots with even coloring, ranging from tan to dark brown or black in pigment.
Sun exposure significantly influences mole development, with frequent UV exposure often increasing their number.
Hormonal changes during pregnancy or adolescence can cause existing moles to darken or new ones to emerge.
Genetic factors determine mole patterns, with some families predisposed to developing more moles.
Moles vary from harmless (common nevi) to potentially concerning (atypical moles with irregular borders/coloring).

causes

Moles develop due to a combination of genetic and environmental factors that affect melanocyte growth. While most appear during childhood and adolescence, new moles can form throughout adulthood. Understanding these causes helps in monitoring for concerning changes.

Melanocyte Clustering

Moles form when pigment-producing melanocytes grow in groups rather than spreading evenly, creating concentrated areas of pigment in the skin.

Sun Exposure

UV radiation stimulates melanocyte activity, increasing mole development. Frequent sun exposure, especially during childhood, significantly raises mole count.

Genetic Predisposition

Family history largely determines mole patterns, with some individuals inheriting tendencies for numerous or atypical moles.

Hormonal Influences

Pregnancy and puberty hormones can darken existing moles or trigger new growths, as melanocytes respond to hormonal changes.

Professional Treatments

Surgical Excision completely removes concerning moles with precise cutting techniques, ensuring clean margins for pathological examination.

Laser Removal uses targeted light energy to break down pigment in benign moles, gradually fading their appearance with minimal scarring.

Shave Removal gently eliminates raised moles at skin level using specialized surgical tools, ideal for cosmetic improvement of non-cancerous growths.

Cryotherapy freezes and destroys small benign moles with liquid nitrogen, causing them to gradually slough off over days to weeks.

Dr Hiba saved me. I need to see someone urgently about a fast growing/change growth under my eye. Dr Hiba took me in on her break. She did a wonderful job on removing the growth at a sensitive area. Stitches out this morning and it is almost invisible. Professional, soft-spoken – could not recommend her enough!

I had nose Surgery with Dr Hiba Injibar. I couldn’t be happier with the results. From the initial consultation, it was apparent that Dr Hiba Injibar has a lot of experience in the procedure which made me feel very secure. She was very clear about what can be done and was also very attentive to my requests. I would not want anyone else to operate me 🙂 I Recommend 100%.

I had my first Ultraformer HIFU treatment at Dermasurge today with Manuela and I couldn’t be happier with the experience.

Manuela was incredibly professional, patient and reassuring throughout the whole session. She explained every step clearly and made sure I was comfortable, allowing breaks whenever needed and chatting with me to distract from the more intense parts of the treatment. I really appreciated how attentive and caring she was.

The treatment itself was thorough and carefully done — I felt confident I was in very experienced hands. Manuela took her time and made sure every area was treated properly, which gave me a lot of trust in the process.

Dermasurge has a very professional and calm environment, and I’m looking forward to seeing my results over the next few weeks and continuing my treatment plan. Highly recommend Manuela if you’re considering HIFU treatment.

We have used Dermasurge for our two children and the level of service from all staff goes above and beyond. They are polite, personable and knowledgeable. The speed of service is also very good. We have used other dermatologists before and can note that the Dermasurge team are far better.

I had several seborrheic keratosis removed and one unusual skin growth excised and biopsied. The procedure was quick, painless and healed well. Dr Hiba and her staff were all friendly and kind and followed up quickly on my questions. I would use this dermatologist again.

I’ve been attending Dermasurge for the past 4 months for laser and Botox treatments. The staff are all very professional, knowledgeable, and helpful. An excellent TEAM!
Dr. Hiba is amazing, very professional and approachable. During my initial consultation Dr. Hiba provided clear advice and direction, regarding the treatment I was seeking. I felt supported and listened to. A treatment plan was drawn up and each treatment explained in detail.
My laser treatments were done by Manuela, who has been incredible. A top therapist, professional and so friendly. Thank you Manuela for the high standard of care you gave me!
I highly recommend Dr.Hiba and her team.

Everyone at this clinic is really nice and what I like most about Dr Hiba is that she did not try to sell me something, instead she listened to my concerns and recommended a treatment that had my best interests at heart. And i am very pleased with the results.

I had acne in my twenties. Dr. Hiba did a great consultation and prescribed medication that successfully healed my acne. I feel so much more confident in my skin today and am super grateful for the treatment I received. Also, the whole team at Dermasurge is super lovely. Thank you, Dermasurge!

My teenage daughter attended having suffered with bouts of regular breakouts which caused her significant concern and distress. Dr Hiba took the time to explain what was causing the problem and gave very pragmatic and honest advice about the treatment pathway. Less than a week later the results are already evident and my daughter; who only last week felt very low about her skin now has hope that she doesn’t need to suffer any longer.

Ridwana was also incredibly kind and understanding. She shared her own experiences with my daughter making her feel much more at easy.

The entire clinic has a calming yet professional atmosphere which is exactly how the clinical experience also felt.
