Consultation and Evaluation: Your mole removal journey begins with a thorough consultation with Dr. Sof. During this initial meeting, Dr. Sof will carefully listen to your concerns, assess the mole’s characteristics, and discuss your aesthetic and health goals. He will conduct a detailed examination to determine whether surgical or laser removal is the most suitable option for your needs.
Preparation: On the day of your mole removal procedure, you’ll arrive at the surgical facility prepared for treatment. Dr. Sof and his team will ensure you are comfortable and relaxed before administering local anaesthesia to keep you at ease throughout the procedure.
Surgical Technique: Dr. Sof will employ advanced techniques for mole removal, using either laser or surgical excision based on the mole’s location, size, and nature.

You’ll be monitored for a short period before being discharged with clear post-operative instructions. Follow-up appointments will be scheduled to ensure proper healing and address any concerns.
