If you are getting a mole removed, you can book an appointment with one of our Consultant Dermatologists to look at it and determine the course of action for the best mole removal. The surgical mole removal takes place in a minor ops. theatre. It is a perfectly equipped theatre for this type of surgery and in line with the highest standards of the CQC (Care Quality Commission). Our highly skilled consultant dermatologists perform a variety of skin procedures including nevus removal such as mole removal on face, raised mole removal, mole on scalp removal, mole skin tag removal, mole hair removal, flat moles on face, neck mole removal, mole on nose removal, forehead mole removal
Some skin lesions, like seborrhoeic keratosis and warts, can look like moles but they are not moles. Our consultant dermatologists assess the lesion using dermoscopy to know exactly what it is. They can remove lesions other than moles in the consultation room with liquid nitrogen. It is a procedure called cryotherapy that freezes the lesion to make it disappear. Please note that in those cases we are not freezing moles, we are removing warts or seborrhoeic keratosis with cryotherapy. In some cases, mole skin tag removal can be undertaken with cryotherapy.
If appropriate, we can provide procedures on the same day as the consultation, getting our patients peace of mind faster. All excisions are sent for a histopathology analysis, and your dermatologist will explain your results in plain English and in writing.
