What are Moles?
Moles, medically known as nevi, are common skin growths composed of melanocytes, the cells that produce pigment (melanin) in your skin. They can appear anywhere on your body, including your face, scalp, and even under your nails.
Here are some key things to know about moles:
- Appearance: Moles vary in size, shape, and color. They can be flat, raised, smooth, rough, brown, black, tan, pink, red, or even blue. Some moles may grow hair.
- Development: Most moles appear in childhood and adolescence, with new ones developing less frequently in adulthood.
- Causes: The exact cause of moles is unknown, but genetics and sun exposure are believed to play a role.
- Types: There are different types of moles, including common moles, atypical moles, and congenital nevi (present at birth).
It's important to note that most moles are harmless, but some can be a sign of skin cancer. It's crucial to be aware of the ABCD rule for identifying potentially cancerous moles:
- Asymmetry: One half of the mole doesn't match the other.
- Border: The edges are irregular, blurred, or notched.
- Color: The mole has multiple colors within it, such as brown, black, red, white, or blue.
- Diameter: The mole is larger than 6 millimeters (about the size of a pencil eraser).
If you notice any changes in a mole, such as size, shape, color, or bleeding, it's important to see a dermatologist for a professional evaluation.

Benefits of Mole Removal
If you feel self-conscious or uncomfortable about a mole on your skin, mole removal might be the solution for you! Private mole removal offers many benefits, including:
Boosting your confidence in appearance.
The peace of mind of knowing your skin is healthy. A doctor can examine the mole and assure you that it's benign (not cancerous).
No longer getting irritated by unwanted skin growths that rub against clothing.
Feeling relieved that the blemish is gone.
Early detection and removal of cancerous moles. In some cases, a mole may be cancerous (malignant melanoma). Mole removal allows for a biopsy (tissue examination) to determine if cancer is present. If it is, early removal can significantly improve the chances of successful treatment.

Body Areas For Mole Removal Treatment
Facial Moles Removal - Moles on the face are often considered unsightly and removed for cosmetic reasons. Facial moles frequently occur on the cheeks, nose, eyelids, and lips. Precise mole removal techniques allow facial moles to be extracted with minimal scarring.
Back and Chest Moles Removal - The back and chest tend to develop more moles than other areas due to sun exposure. Raised or discolored moles in these areas are sometimes removed for cosmetic improvement or if they show abnormal changes.
Scalp Moles Removal - Moles on the scalp can be removed due to irritation from haircuts or rubbing against a comb or hat. Scalp mole removal requires numbness and delicate techniques to avoid visible scarring.
Underarm or Groin Moles Removal - Moles in the underarm and genital region are prone to friction and irritation from clothing. Removing moles in sensitive areas can provide relief.
Leg, Arm, and Hand Moles Removal - Moles on the extremities can be frequently bumped or scratched, causing bleeding or injury. Mole removal may prevent infection and scarring.
Neck Moles Removal - Neck moles may become itchy or inflamed by jewelry or turtleneck collars rubbing against them. Mole removal can alleviate irritation.
Other areas where mole removal may be considered include the feet, toes, fingers, stomach, back, and behind the knees. A dermatologist can best advise on mole removal for different body locations.

What to Expect Before, During and After Mole Removal?
Let’s go over what you can anticipate before, during, and after the removal:
Before Removal:
Prior to any procedure, you’ll have a virtual consultation if you’d like to talk about it from home. Doctors will discuss your medical background and your expectations while providing advice on which method would be best for you.
During Removal:
The area to be treated is mapped out and local anesthetic injection is used to numb the area. Using one of the above methods the mole is removed. If stitches are required these are placed and the wound is dressed.
After Mole Removal:
Depending upon the wound depth and size of excision the wound can take 1 to 2 weeks to heal. If stitches are present these are usually removed after 7 days.

FAQ'S
Does mole removal leave a scar?
Many people considering mole removal worry about scarring, but advances in laser technology have made it possible to remove moles with minimal to no visible marks. At Harley Street Medics, we specialize in laser mole removal, which precisely targets and removes mole tissue while minimizing damage to the surrounding skin, often leading to less scarring than traditional surgical excision. While individual results vary depending on factors like mole size and skin type, laser mole removal offers a safe and effective way to achieve a smoother, clearer complexion with minimal scarring. Schedule a consultation at Harley Street Medics to discuss if laser mole removal is the right option for you.
Is mole removal painful?
Most mole removal techniques don't cause much pain. The area will be numbed with local anesthesia beforehand so you don't feel pain during the procedure. Afterward there may be some mild discomfort, swelling or redness which can be managed with over-the-counter pain medication if needed. More complex removals may require additional anesthesia.
How long does it take to recover?
Recovery time varies based on the mole removal method. Simple shave removals recover within 7-10 days typically. Excision removals take 2-3 weeks for the skin to fully close and 6 weeks for the scar to mature. Laser removal causes superficial wounds that heal within a week or two. Full recovery can range from 1 week to 2 months.
How much does mole removal cost in the UK?
The cost of mole removal in the UK can vary based on several factors, and we'll be happy to provide you with a personalized quote after a consultation. To give you a general idea, our prices start from £299. The final cost depends on the type and size of the mole, the location on your body, the chosen removal method (laser, shave excision, surgical excision), and whether a biopsy is required.
Can I get a mole removed on the NHS?
While the NHS does offer mole removal in some cases, the criteria for removal are quite strict, often focusing on moles suspected of being cancerous. If your concern is primarily cosmetic, or if you'd like a faster and more personalized service, opting for private mole removal at our clinic in Glasgow offers several advantages:
- Shorter waiting times: Get your mole removed sooner without lengthy NHS waitlists.
- Choice of removal method: Discuss and choose the most suitable method for your needs and desired aesthetic outcome.
- Expert care: Our experienced dermatologists prioritize your comfort and aesthetic results.
- Convenient location: Our central Glasgow clinic is easily accessible.
