Mole Removal

Specialist mole removal by consultant dermatologists using surgical excision, shave excision, or laser, with histological examination available where skin cancer is suspected.

Mole removal at Dermatology & Co is performed by consultant dermatologists who tailor the removal method to the characteristics of the lesion. Flat or lightly pigmented moles are typically treated with laser therapy, which lightens pigmentation and results in minimal scarring compared to surgery. Raised or protuberant moles are addressed via surgical excision, producing a fine line scar, or via shave excision as an alternative for flatter raised lesions. Where there is any clinical suspicion of malignancy — such as irregular borders, bleeding, rapid growth, or colour change — the excised tissue is sent for histological examination to rule out skin cancer. The decision on technique is always made following a specialist assessment, ensuring the safest and most cosmetically optimal outcome for each patient. Both Dr Ker Khor Jia and Dr Tan Wei Sheng have extensive experience in skin cancer surgery and benign lesion removal. Patients concerned about changing moles, new lesions, or cosmetically bothersome growths are encouraged to seek specialist evaluation rather than non-medical removal services. The clinic's Gleneagles Medical Centre location provides access to on-site laboratory and pathology services for prompt histological turnaround where required.
