Expert Mole Removal in Beverly Hills and Los Angeles

What are Moles?

Moles are groupings of melanocytes (i.e., cells that produce melanin or pigmentation). Although they are non-cancerous, it is essential to monitor moles to ensure they do not develop into malignant melanoma (i.e., cancer of melanocyte cells). “Dysplastic moles” are moles that have an atypical appearance and are potential precursors to melanoma.

What Causes Moles?

The clustering and clumping of melanocytes (i.e., melanin-producing cells) cause mole formation. This is a random process that can also result from genetic inheritance.
