Many people live with birthmarks their entire lives without any problems at all, but there are also times when it may be wise (or desirable) to have them removed. Perhaps your birthmark has changed in color or shape, or maybe it’s located in a spot where it constantly rubs against your clothes? Or maybe you simply don’t feel comfortable with how it looks.
At Estetikcentrum Malmö, you’ll meet experienced and skilled surgeons and doctors who can perform a medical evaluation of your birthmarks. We’ll help you determine whether removal is appropriate or if there are other options that are a better fit for you.

We always prioritize what is safest and most appropriate for you. That is why the consultation with our surgeons is so important.
Results and Healing – How It Works
Most people experience excellent results after having birthmarks removed. Scarring is always discussed beforehand, but our surgeons are highly experienced and use fine, discreet stitches that minimize the risk of visible scars. It’s important to remember that healing times can vary from person to person, but you’ll typically be fully recovered within a week. You’ll receive clear instructions on how to care for the wound to ensure the best possible healing, and we’re always available if you have any questions afterward.
When is the best time to have birthmarks removed?
Removing a birthmark is a personal decision, so it’s hard to say whether the treatment is right for you or not. We usually recommend the procedure for people who experience chafing or discomfort, who find the mark unsightly, or if it’s located in a spot that can cause skin irritation—for example, right under your glasses or if you wear a necklace.
The most common skin lesions are known as atheromas, lipomas, and seborrheic keratoses. All of these lesions are benign and consist of cysts, fatty nodules, or so-called age spots. However, a mole can also turn out to be malignant melanoma, which is a malignant lesion and a type of skin cancer. No matter what type of mole you have, we can help you!
