Mole Removal

Surgical or laser mole removal by consultant dermatologists, with histopathological assessment available for clinically suspicious lesions.

Specialist Skin Clinic provides mole removal services performed by qualified consultant dermatologists. Common techniques include surgical excision (with sutures) for larger or potentially malignant lesions, and shave excision or laser ablation for smaller, benign-appearing moles. Prior to removal, the dermatologist performs a clinical assessment — and where indicated, dermoscopy — to evaluate the lesion for any features suggesting malignancy. Excised specimens can be sent for histopathological analysis to confirm diagnosis and ensure complete removal. This is particularly important for moles with irregular borders, multiple colours, asymmetry, or a history of change, which may warrant urgent review. The procedure is performed under local anaesthesia and is typically completed within one clinic visit. Post-procedural wound care instructions are provided, and follow-up appointments are arranged as clinically appropriate. The clinic's dermatologists are experienced in the management of pigmented lesions and skin cancers, making Specialist Skin Clinic a suitable referral destination for general practitioners concerned about suspicious skin lesions in their patients.
