Mole treatment
This treatment is for removing large moles or moles in undesirable locations. At Akai Clinic we do both surgical removal and laser treatment of moles. Smaller moles are generally treated with lasers while large moles or malignant moles will be treated surgically. We will choose the most appropriate treatment after a physical examination of the mole. Both treatments are brief in duration and involve minimal pain, so we recommend anyone interested to schedule a counseling session.
