The typical patient journey is once you have booked your appointment you will be seen by the doctor to assess the mole; after which the treatment options are explained. In most cases patients proceed to have the mole removed on the same day. The mole is marked and a small injection of anaesthetic is placed just under the mole to numb it. After this you will NOT feel anything. The mole removal only takes a few minutes and a dressing placed over the top. Your wound in most cases will heal over 7-10 days and you can carry on normal activities thereafter.
