Mole Removal Without Surgery? Meet ESKATA!

Moles are very common. Most people have one or more, especially people with light skin. Moles are concentrations of pigment-producing cells (melanocytes) in your skin.  Moles usually emerge in childhood or adolescence, and may change in size and color as you grow. New moles commonly appear at times when your hormone levels change, especially in pregnant women. 

Moles range in color from pink to dark brown or black. They can be located anywhere on the body found alone or in groups. We can have Congenital moles, (also called birthmarks) Acquired moles, (also called common moles) or Atypical moles (also called dysplastic nevi).

Our skin is our largest and most visible organ. Most people feel self-conscious about their moles. If you are contemplating mole removal, we would like to introduce you to Eskata!
