U-AMI Korean Medicine Clinic Seoul - Raised Mole Removal with Acupuncture Needle (1 Spot)

Raised moles removed without surgery
using acupuncture-needle separation

The raised mole removal program removes a mole that protrudes from the skin surface after a Korean medicine doctor checks its size, depth, location and your skin condition. After checking the skin tissue, the raised lesion is treated precisely, using needle-based separation where needed.

The method is decided at the consultation

Unlike flat pigmented moles, raised moles may need different treatment depending on the shape and depth of the lesion. At the consultation, the doctor checks how much it protrudes, its size, how far it connects to the skin and where it is, then decides whether it can be treated and how.

Raised moles in many areas, including the face, around the eyebrows, the scalp and the neck, can be examined. Areas close to the eyes or other sensitive areas may or may not be treatable depending on the location and condition. Depending on the size and depth of the lesion, one session may not be enough, and the need for further treatment is decided after checking progress.

Recommended for

• Moles that bulge above the skin
• Raised moles that have not changed much in size for a long time
• Raised moles on the face that catch when applying makeup or washing
• Raised moles around the eyebrows
• Small raised moles on the neck or face
• Raised moles on the scalp that get in the way when combing or grooming
• Raised areas that remain after laser treatment

Treatment components and duration

One raised mole on the face or body is removed using a numbing cream (if needed) and acupuncture-needle separation, and the treatment is expected to take about 30 minutes. Including the consultation, the whole visit takes about 60–90 minutes. After treatment, redness, slight bleeding, scabbing or temporary pigment change may appear, so please follow the aftercare instructions you are given.

※ If a mole has suddenly changed shape or color, is growing quickly, or bleeds repeatedly or has an ulcer, an accurate diagnosis may be needed before a standard raised mole removal.
