Mole Removal

Moles, or naevi, are benign growths on the skin. They can be flat or raised, smooth or bumpy, and they come in all different colours.

Most moles are completely harmless and do not require removal. However, some moles may develop into skin cancer. Therefore, it is important to check your moles regularly for changes in size, shape, colour and texture. If you notice any changes in a mole on your skin, see a Dermatologist to determine if it needs further monitoring or treatment.

Harmless moles can also be removed for aesthetic reasons.

Surgical Mole Removal

Suspicious moles - can be removed by surgery for further analysis to rule out an underlying skin cancer. Surgery involves cutting out the mole and removing it completely. This is usually a quick procedure done under local anaesthetic. This will leave a small scar that fades over time.

Harmless flat moles – these can be removed with a pigment laser and usually require 1-2 treatments. This is done under local anaesthesia and is a quick and satisfyingly effective procedure. Scarring is not common after the procedure.

Harmless raised moles – surgery or laser removal can be used to remove them. If you choose the surgical route, recurrence is rare but there will be a small scar that fades over time. Alternatively, lasers can be used to remove these safely and effectively. There is a risk of recurrence when raised moles are removed by laser. A small depressed scar can sometimes remain.
