Much like the mole removal procedure, mole removal recovery is easy and painless. Depending on how deep the incision went, there is usually no downtime, and the incision spot is simply covered with a spot bandage.
There are a few guidelines for follow-up care after mole removal to ensure optimal healing:
Refrain from showering for 24 hours following the treatment.
Be gentle when working out and avoid intense exercise.
Protect the wound from the sun to prevent permanent darkening of the scar. We recommend keeping it covered for a couple of weeks after the procedure.
Additionally, it takes a few weeks to as long as a year for the scar to completely heal and look its best. It’s important to understand mole removal often results in a small scar, but with proper care and healing, it can be minimized.
