Hello,
There are many procedures of mole removal like by shave or deep elliptical excision, excision with cauterization (a tool is used to burn away the mole) and laser removal. Your dermatologist may choose excision with or without stitches, depending on the depth of the mole and the type of cosmetic outcome desired.
I hope it helps. Take care and regards.

Moles seem to run in families. Yes, you can have them removed. If they are small there should not be any noticeable hair loss.
