What should I know?
Moles are common pigmented skin growths. A clinician should assess any changing, unusual or concerning mole before deciding whether removal is appropriate.
How does treatment work?
Following assessment, the clinician discusses the most appropriate approach. Where suitable, removal may involve local anaesthetic and a minor surgical procedure. A sample may be sent for laboratory examination if clinically indicated.
What about recovery?
Healing varies depending on the procedure, the area treated and individual factors. Your clinician should explain expected downtime, wound care, scarring, potential complications and follow-up before treatment.
Common questions
Will it hurt?
Many minor surgical procedures use local anaesthetic. Your clinician can explain what to expect for the treatment recommended.
Will there be a scar?
Any procedure that cuts the skin may leave a scar. Appearance and healing vary.
How much will it cost?
Mole Removal starts from £250. The final cost is confirmed following your assessment, and any additional charges, where applicable, are explained before treatment. See our Prices page for consultation fees.
