Private Mole Removal

Unwanted moles can be quickly and precisely removed under local anaesthetic. Get in touch today to book a private mole removal consultation.

How can I help with Private Mole Removal?

I can quickly remove your unwanted mole in one walk-in walk-out visit. After discussing your mole and expectations, I can immediately proceed with the mole removal.

Although most removed moles have no suspicious features (such as crusting/bleeding/altered shape or pigmentation), I always send them to the lab for a consultant pathologist examination. If your mole is changing, the NHS will provide a rapid diagnostic service to determine if it requires removal and, if so, will arrange for this to be done. If this is the case, please see your GP.

I have carried out precise surgery for many years and take pride in obtaining outstanding results and excellent patient satisfaction.

What is Private Mole Removal?

Moles occur when cells in the skin grow in a cluster, rather than being spread evenly throughout the tissue. They can be caused by a number of things, including genetics, sun exposure and hormones.

Most moles are benign, meaning they’re not cancerous. However, some moles can develop into melanoma, which is the most dangerous form of skin cancer.

What does the treatment for Private Mole Removal involve?

The area is first numbed with a local anaesthetic, and then the mole is precisely removed under magnification.

The tiny wound created will then be closed using extremely fine absorbable (so need for stitch removal visit!) stitches placed under magnification.

Excellent care from start to finish

August 10, 2026

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 removal

June 3, 2026

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.
