Skin Tag and Mole Removal in Beverly Hills
Restore Smooth and Unblemished Skin
Skin tags and moles are very common, with almost every person having multiple moles by the time they reach adulthood. However, these skin growths can become a cosmetic concern depending on size and location. Additionally, a very small minority of moles can become cancerous. Dr. Aivaz provides professional skin tag and mole removal for patients, focusing on preserving your skin’s appearance.
What Are Skin Growths?
Benign skin growths do not pose a risk to your health, but they can affect confidence in your appearance. Some skin growths, however, may be a medical concern, so we strongly recommend visiting a board-certified dermatologist to evaluate any suspicious growths. We treat a range of skin growths, using approved techniques to remove the growth and preserve the skin’s appearance. Common types we treat include:
- Skin Tags: These are harmless and painless growths that can appear almost anywhere on the skin. They commonly appear on the neck, underarms, groin, and eyelids. In addition to causing cosmetic concerns, skin tags can rub against clothing and become irritated.
- Moles: These flat or raised growths can appear as either your natural skin tone or darker. Rarely, they can be cancerous or precancerous, but in most cases they are purely a cosmetic concern.
- Other Benign Growths: From freckles to lipomas, the skin can develop a range of other benign growths. Depending on type, size, and location, they may be a significant cosmetic concern.
Dermatologist-Approved Skin Tag and Mole Removal
Removing skin growths is quick and safe, but removal should be performed only by a board-certified dermatologist. A dermatologist’s specialized skills promote results that better preserve a natural look to your skin.

Should I Have a Skin Growth Removed?
Though skin tags and moles typically pose no physical risk, the cosmetic concerns they raise can still be significant. If you have skin growth that impacts your quality of life, it is worth coming in for a consultation. In addition to evaluating the growth to evaluate if it may be abnormal, Dr. Aivaz can develop a tailored treatment approach that will match your needs.
After Your Treatment: Seeing Results
Your mole or skin tag will be fully removed by the end of your procedure. However, it can take a few days for the treatment site to heal. As the area heals, it should begin to look like your natural skin.
What to Know About Results
- Continue to care for the removal site to avoid infection or inflammation.
