Mole & Skin Lesion Removal

Specialist assessment and surgical or laser removal of moles, cysts, skin tags, and suspicious pigmented lesions by accredited dermatologists. Dermoscopy performed on all lesions before removal to assess for malignancy.

Mole and skin lesion removal at The Skin Specialists & Laser Clinic is performed by fully accredited dermatologists with specialist expertise in skin cancer diagnosis and surgery. All lesions are evaluated with dermoscopy — a magnified, polarised light examination that significantly improves the accuracy of distinguishing benign from potentially malignant lesions — before any removal procedure is undertaken. This approach avoids the risk of removing lesions piecemeal without proper assessment, which can obscure histological diagnosis. Surgical removal options include excision with sutures, shave excision, and punch biopsy, with all excised tissue sent for histopathological analysis as standard. Laser removal (using appropriate wavelength lasers) is available for benign lesions where dermoscopy confirms no malignant features and cosmetic outcome is the primary consideration. Dr Mark Tang's specialist expertise in skin cancers, including skin lymphomas, ensures that ambiguous or concerning lesions receive appropriately thorough evaluation. The clinic operates within Mount Alvernia Medical Centre, providing continuity of care with on-site pathology and surgical support services where needed. For medical tourists and expatriates seeking a reliable, specialist-led mole assessment — particularly those coming from countries with high sun exposure histories — this clinic provides accredited dermatologist review rather than a cosmetic-first approach.
