Mole Removal

We are the #1 mole removal clinic in the UK. In order to get the best results, we use laser and surgery techniques at our London & Bristol locations.

Looking to have a mole removed?

At Cosmedics we offer same day treatments for cosmetic moles and potential worrying moles at our 5 mole clinics conveniently located in London and Bristol.

Moles on the face and body

It is quite normal for people to have facial moles as well as on the body. They can vary in colour, size shape whether they are flat or protrude from the skin.

Most moles are harmless and we tend to get more as we age. Abnormal moles tend to have different shape, size and a darker colour to your other moles as well as grow more rapidly.

Mole removal costs from £345

Mole removal at our London and Bristol clinics is a quick and painless procedure for the removal of cosmetic moles which patients happily undergo to help with their confidence as well as prevent them from being irritating. At Cosmedics our expert doctors are also able to assess potentially worrying moles, precancerous and skin cancer lesions to see if they warrant removal and testing.

We are a leading UK clinic for moles and as such offer laser mole removal as well as mole removal surgery according to each individual scenario. Having both these option means that we make the whole process comfortable and easy but ensure the results are the best they can be with minimal or no scarring.

Most patients come in and have the moles removed at the first appointment and often takes little under 30 minutes. They can then go home immediately and carry-on life as normal.

The commonest method of removing moles is by shave excision and laser(1) which requires no stitches and heals like a graze with outstanding results and quick healing.

When is a mole worrying?

We recommend you seek a doctor’s advice for any of your moles if you notice one or more of the following symptoms:

  • It has/is changing colour
  • It has/is changing shape and size
  • It is inflamed, itchy or painful
  • It is protruding or causing irritation (for example, it’s catching on clothing)

We recommended you self check yourself every 2-3 months looking for the classic signs of skin cancer which are ABCDE – A – asymmetry B – Border C – colour D – diameter >6mm E – evolving.

What are the Benefits of Mole Removal?

Our doctors and surgeons often will proceed with single or multiple mole removals when

  • The mole is protruding and is easily irritated by clothing (for example, catching on bras, belts etc)
  • The mole is cosmetically bothering you and you would like it removed
  • The mole is worrying and needs to be removed for testing (histology) and treatment to eliminate the risk of cancer
  • The mole is considered potentially dangerous and you would rather eliminate the risk now than continue monitoring it and having regular check-ups

Mole Removal FAQ: Questions & Answers

What happens during my mole removal?

Close Icon

The typical patient journey is once you have booked your appointment you will be seen by the doctor/surgeon 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.

What are moles?

Close Icon

Moles (or naevi) are a collective term for most skin lumps or blemishes that are often present on the face and body. They can be raised or flat, skin coloured or dark. Most are harmless but any changing moles should be examined by a doctor. Even harmless moles can be unwanted and yet are very simple to remove with the latest techniques.

Who will benefit from mole removal?

Close Icon

Mole removal is advised for men and women who have either:

  • a cosmetic mole that is often on the face, nose or body ie unsightly or irritating, or catching on clothing or a razor; or moles that are flat or raised or have some degree of color can often be unsightly, catch on clothing and generally be a nuisance.
  • a suspicious mole that is changing in size, shape or colour and/or itches and bleeds

How is mole removal done?

Close Icon

Mole removal from the face and body is done using a combination of surgery and laser to achieve the best cosmetic result. Local anaesthetic is used to ensure the procedure is painless.

The most common way to remove moles that protrude from the skin is by shave excision. The procedure involves using a derma blade to remove the mole parallel to the surface of the skin. This leaves a small superficial wound which is then cauterised with a laser to stop any bleeding and tidy the wound. The whole process takes about 20 minutes. No stitches are needed and healing takes about 1 to 2 weeks.

Occasionally we use an elliptical excision for moles that are suspicious or where the cosmetic result is likely to be better than a shave excision. It is a deep excision that removes the mole completely. A cautery laser is then used to stop any bleeding. The resulting wound requires stitches which can be either dissolvable or non-dissolvable depending on the site of removal. Your specialist will advise which method of cosmetic mole removal is most appropriate for you.

Radiosurgery can be also used where we feel the lesion would leave better results and less scarring. For a consultation or further advice please call us on 020 7386 0464.

Will I have a scar after mole removal?

Close Icon

All mole removal procedures, both surgical and laser mole removal surgery, will leave a small scar which is normally far less noticeable than the original mole.

We use the latest techniques to ensure any scarring is minimal.

Rarely, some people with very dark or light skin have an abnormal response to healing and end up with larger scars than usual (hypertrophic or keloid scars).

Are the moles histology tested?

Close Icon

Yes our medical guidelines state that we should send ALL mole specimens for testing.

The lesion/specimen goes to a separate laboratory and is examined under a microscope by another specialised histopathology doctor. This is the ONLY 100% way to determine if a mole is atypical or not as often normal looking moles can be ok on the surface but abnormal lower down. See above for mole testing costs.

Why does my mole need testing?

Close Icon

Mole removal and subsequent testing or histology of the mole or skin lesion is the only way of 100% diagnosis where there is a risk it may become malignant (cancerous).

Clinical observation and dermoscopic examination by doctors is an aide to help decide which may be problematic but do not give a 100% diagnosis which is why all moles are sent for testing.

Cosmedics send all moles to be independently analysed for our patients’ peace of mind.

How best can I reduce mole removal scarring?

Close Icon

Mole removal scarring is inevitable will all forms of mole removal however the skill of the surgeon is to limit this to a minimal degree that is almost not noticeable.

The mole removal technique is one important factor to help achieve the best results but also daily massaging with a scar treatment moisturiser over the scarred area can help in the first 3 months.

Silicon scar reduction gels can also come in plaster like dressings rather than gels that can be easier for areas where gels are not suitable.

How can I be sure these I will get the best results from my mole removal treatment?

Close Icon

kelo-coteOur team not only uses the best and latest mole removal procedures but our aftercare protocol ensures quick healing and minimal scarring. As part of our aftercare, we recommend the use of Kelo-cote UV silicone scar gel that is clinically proven to reduce scarring and protects the healing wound from sunlight.

Cosmedics now stock this product with UV protection which protects the healing wound from sunlight (which can delay healing). This means mole removal is ideal all year round with this added sun protection and you can be sure you are getting the best outcome possible.

What are the risks of mole removal?

Close Icon

Fortunately, with mole removal, the risks are very low and it is a safe and simple procedure.

With any cosmetic plastic surgery procedure however, there are potential side effects such as infection, bleeding and scarring. At Cosmedics our doctors and surgeons who are experts in dermatological surgery will ensure the highest standards of care.

What happens after mole removal surgery?

Close Icon

Skin moles removal surgery is relatively simple and in most cases you can return to normal activities the same day.

Can you recommend a mole removal cream or any over the counter remedies to try at home?

Close Icon

It is not safe to remove a colored mole if you don’t know what type of mole it is and also the scarring can be far worse than with conventional procedures.

We advise patients not to get rid of moles at home. Various over the counter or internet products and creams, or home remedies such as bloodroot, vinegar and other acids are not recommended.

What happens to the mole after it has been removed?

Close Icon

Most moles are sent for histology after the removal. This is the analysis of the mole which is done at a separate specialised laboratory using a high-powered microscope to detect any abnormal cells.

Although most moles can look normal to the naked eye, occasionally early abnormal cells can be lower in the skin, which could cause skin cancer – hence the need to send for analysis.

What information about mole removal is available on the NHS?

Close Icon

Cosmetic mole removal by laser or surgery is not performed on the NHS and waiting times for non-urgent care can be very long. See NHS advice here for more information about mole removal.

Cosmedics Skin Clinics are specialist in mole removal and we are able to charge affordable prices compared to private hospitals.

  • The wound will be red for 2 to 3 weeks, which gradually settles over the next few months;
  • Massaging with oils (bio-oil) or moisturising (dermatix) creams is advisable after 2 to 3 weeks to help reduce any scarring;
  • If there is any increasing pain or redness, consult your doctor
