Facial Mole Removal
I offer facial mole removal under local anaesthetic. This quick surgery can have a transformative effect on your self-confidence. Facial mole removal healing happens quickly, and the scarring is often virtually invisible.
How can I help with Facial Mole Removal?
You’d be surprised at how quickly facial moles can be removed and the transformative effect the procedure can have on your self-confidence.
Most moles have no suspicious features (bleeding, altered shape, pigmentation variance), but for peace of mind, every mole I remove is sent to the lab for a consultant pathologist to examine. If you’ve noticed a recent change in one of your moles, the NHS offers a rapid diagnostic service. If this is the case, then please book an immediate appointment with your regular GP.
I have decades of experience carrying out precise surgery and private mole removal at the top of my field. The care of my patients is always the priority.

Find out how I can help
If you’d like to find out more about how I can help with Facial Mole Removal then an initial consultation can be arranged at your convenience.
What is Facial Mole Removal?
A facial mole can occur when skin cells form in a cluster rather than being evenly distributed. Facial moles can be triggered by a number of different factors including, but not limited to, genetics, sun exposure, pregnancy or hormones.
Most moles are entirely harmless. Occasionally and rarely, a mole can develop into melanoma. Melanoma is a dangerous form of skin cancer that requires urgent medical attention.
What does the treatment for Facial Mole Removal involve?
I can remove your unwanted mole in a single walk-in, walk-out visit. The consultation and treatment can be included within the same appointment.
For facial mole removal surgery, the surrounding area is numbed with a local anaesthetic. Once the area has been numbed, the mole is removed under magnification.
Now the mole’s removed, I stitch the small wound with micro-absorbable stitches. These stitches dissolve, removing the need for a follow-up stitch removal visit.
Recovery from Facial Mole Removal
Mole removals on the face or nose heal quickly. You can expect healing to take place over a week or so. The small, absorbable stitches typically last 2-3 weeks. You can read more about facial mole removal recovery on our blog.
You’ll be pleased to learn that facial mole removals have the quickest healing time of any mole removals on the body.
What you can expect from Facial Mole Removal
Mole removal on face procedures typically take around 30 minutes. The operation is carried out under local anaesthetic, and the recovery outcomes are excellent with minimal scarring.

Reviews
Mole removal
I have had a number of moles removed by Dr Simon and I’m very happy with the result. Very quick and neatly done.
Excellent care from start to finish
I recently had some veins treated in my Leg and, and as I was quite nervous, I really appreciated how lovely and reassuring everyone was.
The surgeon Simon was friendly, professional and put me completely at ease, and the nurse Becky was absolutely lovely and caring. They both made the whole experience much easier than I expected.
I’m very grateful for their care and would definitely recommend them.
Lipoma & skin tag removal
Carried out very professionally and additional after care support was provided.
Removal of 2 facial moles
I was offered a quick appointment and was able to have the consultation and procedure at the same time. Simon and his nurse were very friendly and fully discussed what needed to be done. I am delighted with the results and would totally recommend Simon.
Lipoma removal
Found Simon to be very professional and diligent within his work, the whole process took no more than an hour, I was made to feel at ease, comfortable and confident in Simon’s abilities. The cut was bigger & deeper than I expected, but that is more due to my own preconceived conceptions, Simon explained the whole process very well and detailed everything clearly before the operation went ahead, my head is healing up nicely.
