Mole Removal
Mole removal should only be performed by a physician (dermatologist
or plastic surgeon). Moles can be removed for either health (skin cancer
suspicion) or aesthetic reasons. The main side effect is often a scar
that may take a while to fade into the skin.
If you need help monitoring changes in your moles, see our
MoleSense device.

Wikipedia - Discusses mole removal using shave excision,
