Why Choose Rock Hill Dermatology Center for Mole and Lesion Removal?

Board-Certified Dermatopathology Analysis On-Site

Every removed mole and lesion receives immediate microscopic examination by our board-certified dermatopathologist, eliminating the 7-14 day wait typical with outside labs. You'll receive your biopsy results within 24-48 hours, reducing anxiety and enabling faster treatment decisions if additional care is needed.

Advanced Mohs Micrographic Surgery for Complete Cancer Removal

Our Mohs-trained surgeon removes skin cancers layer by layer while examining tissue margins in real-time, achieving a 99% cure rate for basal and squamous cell carcinomas. This precision technique removes 100% of cancer cells while preserving maximum healthy tissue, resulting in smaller scars and better cosmetic outcomes than traditional excision.

Same-Day Cosmetic Closure for Optimal Healing

Following mole removal, our plastic surgery-trained dermatologist performs immediate cosmetic closure using advanced suturing techniques and tissue adhesives. This eliminates the need for a second appointment and ensures wounds heal with minimal scarring, particularly important for removals on visible areas like face and arms.

Lancaster County's Only Dermoscopy-Guided Removal Service

Before any removal, we use high-powered dermoscopy to analyze mole patterns and determine the exact removal technique needed. This advanced imaging prevents unnecessary deep excisions for benign lesions while ensuring adequate margins for suspicious growths, resulting in faster healing and reduced tissue trauma.

Lifetime Skin Surveillance Program for High-Risk Patients

Patients with atypical moles or previous skin cancers receive priority scheduling for quarterly full-body skin exams using our digital mole mapping system. We photograph and track changes in your remaining moles over time, catching new suspicious lesions at their earliest, most treatable stage.

Insurance Pre-Authorization Guarantee for Medical Removals

Our certified medical billing team secures insurance pre-authorization before any medically necessary mole removal, guaranteeing your out-of-pocket costs upfront. We work directly with all major insurance providers in the Lancaster area and handle all claim submissions, eliminating surprise bills and coverage denials.

What Our Mole and Lesion Removal Customers Say

Had three suspicious moles removed by Dr. Peterson last month. The whole process was way smoother than I expected - took about 45 minutes total. Staff was really good about explaining everything beforehand, which helped calm my nerves. The numbing shots were honestly the worst part, but even that wasn't too bad. Healing took about 2 weeks and you can barely see the scars now. Results came back clear thankfully! Only thing was the wait time for my appointment was longer than I hoped (almost 3 weeks), but I guess that's normal for dermatology.

– Maria R., Lancaster

Quick and professional. Got a weird looking spot on my back checked out and removed same day. Dr. Martinez was thorough, explained what she was doing. Took maybe 20 minutes. Scheduling was easy online. Would definitely go back if needed.

– James T., Lancaster

I've been putting off getting this mole on my shoulder looked at for way too long - my daughter finally convinced me to make an appointment. The staff at Rock Hill Dermatology made me feel so comfortable from the moment I walked in. Dr. Johnson took time to examine several spots I was worried about, not just the one I came in for. The removal procedure itself was surprisingly quick - maybe 15 minutes? She used some kind of special technique that she said would minimize scarring. The follow-up care instructions were clear and they called to check on me a few days later. My only complaint is that parking can be a bit tricky during busy times, but that's really minor. The peace of mind was worth every penny of the copay.

Frequently Asked Questions About Mole and Lesion Removal

How much does mole removal typically cost at Rock Hill Dermatology Center, and does insurance cover it?

The cost of mole removal varies depending on the size, location, and number of moles being removed. Simple shave excisions typically range from $150-$300 per mole, while surgical excisions may cost $300-$600. If the mole shows suspicious characteristics or changes that warrant medical evaluation, most insurance plans including BlueCross BlueShield and Medicaid (common in the Lancaster area) will cover the procedure. However, purely cosmetic removals are typically not covered. We'll verify your insurance benefits before your procedure and provide a clear cost estimate during your consultation.

What's the process for getting a mole examined and potentially removed at your Lancaster location?

First, you'll schedule a consultation where our board-certified dermatologist will examine the mole using dermoscopy to assess its characteristics. If removal is recommended, we can often perform the procedure the same day using local anesthesia. For suspicious lesions, we'll do a biopsy and send the tissue to our pathology lab for analysis. Most procedures take 15-30 minutes. You'll receive detailed aftercare instructions, and we typically schedule a follow-up visit in 1-2 weeks to check healing and discuss any biopsy results if applicable.

How long does it take to heal after mole removal, and what can I expect during recovery?

Healing time depends on the removal method and location. Shave excisions typically heal in 1-2 weeks with minimal scarring, while surgical excisions may take 2-4 weeks since they require stitches. You'll need to keep the area clean and dry for the first 24-48 hours, then gently wash with soap and water. We'll provide antibiotic ointment and specific bandaging instructions. Most patients can return to normal activities immediately, though we recommend avoiding swimming or heavy exercise for about a week. Given Lancaster's humid climate, keeping the wound properly covered is especially important to prevent infection.

Are your dermatologists licensed to perform mole removal procedures in South Carolina?

Yes, all our dermatologists are board-certified by the American Board of Dermatology and fully licensed to practice in South Carolina. Our physicians have completed specialized training in dermatologic surgery and have extensive experience in mole and lesion removal techniques. We maintain all required state licensing and follow strict safety protocols established by the South Carolina Board of Medical Examiners. Our facility is also accredited and equipped with the latest surgical tools and safety equipment for minor dermatologic procedures.

What if my mole grows back or I'm not satisfied with the cosmetic result after removal?

Complete mole recurrence is rare when properly removed, occurring in less than 5% of cases. If a mole does return, we'll evaluate it at no charge and discuss re-treatment options, which may be covered under our original treatment plan. For cosmetic concerns, we offer a follow-up consultation within 30 days to assess healing and discuss any touch-up options if needed. While we can't guarantee perfect cosmetic results (as individual healing varies), we're committed to achieving the best possible outcome. If you're concerned about scarring, we can discuss scar minimization treatments like silicone gel or laser therapy once the area has fully healed.
