Insurance and medical expense deductions now available for mole and wart removal

Reading Time: <1 minuteMole removal is eligible for medical expense deduction. Some moles on the body and face are covered by insurance. In principle, all moles are covered by insurance if a tissue test is performed to confirm the disease through pathological diagnosis. Moles are a common name, and in a broad sense, they include the form of skin tumors. The same goes for warts. Generally, moles are pigmented nevi or nevus cell nevi, and warts refer to a viral disease called verruca vulgaris. There is also senile warts, which are warts caused by old age. A specialist's diagnosis is not just visual inspection, but also using a diagnostic device called a dermascope to confirm whether the mole is benign or malignant, and then considers the removal method and progress and explains it to the patient. If malignancy is suspected, in principle, removal is performed by biopsy or excision, and pathological diagnosis is made. In this case, the cost of the excision surgery and the cost of the pathological diagnosis are all eligible for insurance and medical expense deduction. Moles on the body are generally not for cosmetic purposes, but are the removal of benign tumors as a disease, so they are covered by insurance and are eligible for medical expense deduction. (Removal of large moles may not be covered by insurance as they are for cosmetic purposes.) We will provide you with an estimate, so please feel free to consult us. If complete removal by excision method is not possible, moles and warts may recur. The possibility of this is about 30%. In particular, moles that are not raised and have a dark pigmentation have a high possibility of recurrence because the pigment is located deep in the dermis. At our clinic, we carefully examine and diagnose each mole before removing it. This is the treatment method that is thought to leave the least amount of scarring, and the director, a cosmetic surgeon, carefully removes and cares for the mole. Case photos taken just before and after removal. We find precancerous conditions such as actinic keratosis and basal cell carcinoma in many cases every year. Many patients have been diagnosed with moles at other medical institutions, and if there is even the slightest suspicion, we always perform a pathology test. Of course, all examination and treatment costs are covered by insurance and are eligible for medical expense deductions. *please note. We have received a sharp increase in enquiries from patients who have been left with unsightly burn scars after undergoing unlimited mole and wart treatment. It is highly unlikely that a skilled specialist will perform unlimited mole or wart treatment. Please be careful of medical institutions that advertise and promote rough treatments that simply use carbon dioxide lasers as unlimited mole removal treatments to attract customers. If a specialist does not carefully remove each mole one by one using the best treatment method according to the condition of the mole, it is not uncommon to be left with an ugly scar. A cosmetic surgeon with skills, experience, track record, and ethics will never perform unlimited mole removal and leave it unfinished. Among the clinics that attract customers by advertising cheap mole removal, there are cosmetic surgery clinics where unqualified people examine and diagnose, upsell, and demand exorbitant treatment fees. There are also cases where inexperienced part-time doctors perform unlimited mole treatments, causing many patients to suffer. We hope that you can determine whether or not you can receive treatment based on not only the price but also the treatment track record, whether the clinic specializes in mole removal, whether the doctor has experience or is not a part-timer, whether or not they have a specialist qualification, guarantee, issuance of receipts for medical expense deductions, detailed explanation of the doctor, whether or not the clinic is an insurance medical institution that also provides insurance treatment, and solid care.

Mole removal raised shape

Reading Time: <1 minuteTreatment methods for mole removal vary depending on the location, size, type and shape of the mole.Naturally, if we suspect malignancy, we will remove the tissue and perform a pathological examination to determine whether it is malignant or not.Generally, if a dermascope does not show any malignant findings and all clearly benign moles are removed by excision, the scar after the excision is often more noticeable than the mole.The shape of the mole is classified as: XNUMX: Raised mole XNUMX: Slightly raised mole XNUMX: Flat mole However, raised moles can be easily removed and are less likely to leave scars.For about XNUMX years, mole removal has been performed using the evaporation method using carbon dioxide laser irradiation.When you hear the word laser, you have an image of cutting-edge technology, but the system of the carbon dioxide laser device itself is a system that was developed XNUMX years ago, and its principles have hardly evolved.The same is true in theory.Just because it's a carbon dioxide laser doesn't mean it can be removed completely.We remove moles at a low price with unlimited carbon dioxide laser irradiation.We receive many inquiries about cases where moles are not removed and only burn scars remain after being irradiated at medical institutions.Just because it's a carbon dioxide laser doesn't mean it can be removed completely.Especially for raised moles, our hospital recommends a method that uses high-frequency heat to carefully and precisely evaporate the mole tissue, avoiding post-burn scars and making the scar less noticeable.Do not use carbon dioxide laser irradiation.Of course, technically speaking, advanced techniques are required, but he can remove it very cleanly in most cases, and there are no noticeable scars after the surgery.For flat moles, the pigment extends to the deep layers of the dermis and subcutaneous tissue, so if you try to remove it completely at once, it will require evaporation treatment to the deep part, which can easily cause scarring, so it is difficult to completely remove it in one go. There are many cases.On that point, if you first evaporate the raised mole tissue until it becomes flat, the wound will heal beautifully and it will be difficult to leave a scar.If you are a specialist in moles, he will be able to diagnose which treatment is best and what care is required before surgery.
