Mole Removal
Safe, cosmetically-minded removal of moles and skin lesions — by excision or shave, with the option of testing, and the finest possible scar.
Mole Removal
What it is
Mole removal takes off unwanted, changing or bothersome moles by precise excision or shave technique. Where there is any concern, the tissue is sent for histology. The emphasis throughout is on a safe removal and a discreet scar.
Who it's for
- Cosmetically unwanted or prominent moles
- Moles catching on clothing or being irritated
- Changing moles needing assessment
- Anyone wanting expert, cosmetic removal
The procedure
A quick procedure under local anaesthesia. Flat moles may be shaved level; raised or suspicious ones are excised and closed with fine sutures.
Recovery & aftercare
Minor soreness and a small scab or sutures. Sutures, if used, come out in five to ten days. Quick return to activity.
Frequently asked
Should a mole be tested?+
Any mole that is changing, irregular or concerning is sent for histology after removal, for your reassurance and safety.
Will there be a scar?+
A small one, minimised by careful technique — particularly important on the face, where we take extra care.
Shave or excision?+
Flat moles can often be shaved with minimal marking; raised or suspicious moles are fully excised. We advise per mole.
