In most cases, moles are harmless skin growths that are symmetrically shaped and consistently coloured. They may occur as birthmarks or manifest themselves during childhood or even adulthood. Moles result from groups of skin cells with more pigment than surrounding cells. Therefore, exposure to sunlight can cause the appearance of moles. It is often these moles that may be cause for medical concern. Dr. Owen Reid offers mole removal for Vancouver area men and women who are concerned about aesthetics and/or medical safety.

Many people choose to have moles removed for cosmetic reasons, hoping to achieve a more uniform complexion. However, mole removal is often necessary as a safeguard against skin cancer. Changes in a mole’s appearance over time are the main signs that it may require removal for medical reasons. This may include changes in:
- Colour
- Diameter
- Projection (height above the skin)
- Shape - especially in asymmetrical moles
You should also seek medical attention for moles that bleed or feel overly tender.
