Tired of unsightly moles? At Harley Street Medics, we offer advanced laser mole removal, a cutting-edge treatment for effective and efficient mole removal in London. Our powerful laser technology targets and destroys mole tissue with incredible precision, minimizing damage to surrounding healthy skin. This is generally best suited for small, superficial moles.
Precision & Targeted Treatment: Lasers allow for precise targeting of the mole, leaving surrounding skin largely unaffected.
Fast & Effective: Experience quick treatment sessions with noticeable results. The number of sessions required depends on the mole’s size and depth.
Minimal Discomfort: Our laser treatments are designed for maximum comfort, with many patients experiencing little to no pain. A topical anesthetic may be applied before treatment.
Reduced Scarring: The precision of laser technology significantly reduces the risk of scarring compared to traditional methods. While scarring is minimized, some degree of marking is possible.
Suitable for Specific Mole Types: Effective on certain types of moles, especially smaller, superficial moles and those that are not deeply pigmented. A consultation is required to determine if laser removal is appropriate for your mole.
Go beyond just removal! Our innovative Laser Mole Regrowth Management therapy addresses potential pigment cell (melanocyte) activity in the area after initial mole removal. This advanced treatment uses targeted laser energy to manage any residual pigmentation or cellular activity, helping to maintain a more even skin tone and giving you lasting peace of mind in London. It’s a proactive approach to keeping your skin clear and healthy.
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.

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.

Ideal for: Various mole types, including those that are slightly raised, deeper, or have irregular borders. Punch removal is particularly useful when a full-thickness sample is needed for diagnostic purposes. It’s also a good option for moles in areas where a larger scar would be undesirable.
How it Works: A specialized tool, resembling a tiny cookie cutter, is used to punch out a cylindrical section of skin containing the mole. The size of the punch tool is selected based on the size of the mole.
Benefits:
Uses electric current (cautery) to precisely remove the mole and stop any bleeding. The heat also helps to sterilize the area. Some practitioners may use radiofrequency ablation instead of electrocautery.
Effective for both moles and warts, as well as other skin lesions.
May require multiple treatment sessions depending on the mole’s depth, particularly for deeper moles, to minimize scarring. This allows for controlled, layer-by-layer removal.
Often results in a small, circular scar that may be slightly depressed.
The tissue removed can be sent for pathological examination if needed.
What to Expect: The area will be numbed with local anesthetic before the procedure. You may feel a brief stinging or pressure during the punch. Afterward, the wound is typically closed with a stitch or two, or sometimes left to heal on its own depending on the size. The area will be bandaged.
Aftercare: Keep the area clean and dry. Follow your doctor’s instructions on bandage changes and wound care. Stitches are usually removed within 5-14 days.
Ideal for: Raised moles on the trunk or limbs that are not too deep and are mostly above the skin surface. It’s often used for cosmetic removal of benign moles where a full-thickness excision is not necessary.
How it Works: After numbing the area, the mole is carefully shaved off at or just below the skin surface using a surgical blade or a specialized shave excision instrument.
Benefits:
A quick and simple procedure, often completed in a single session.
Minimal downtime – healing typically occurs within 7-10 days.
Leaves a small pink or slightly darker patch that fades over time. The resulting scar is usually flat and subtle, but the final appearance depends on skin type and healing ability.
No stitches are typically required.
What to Expect: The procedure is performed under local anesthesia. You may feel some pressure during the shaving process.
Aftercare: Keep the area clean and dry. Apply a thin layer of antibiotic ointment or petroleum jelly to keep the wound moist and prevent infection. Cover with a bandage. Avoid picking at the scab that forms during healing.
Important Note: Shave removal may not remove the entire mole, particularly if it has deep roots. This means the mole could potentially regrow. It also makes it more difficult to obtain a full sample for pathological examination if there is any concern about malignancy.
Ideal for: Larger moles, deeper moles, moles with irregular borders or suspicious features, or moles that require a biopsy for cancer checks. It’s also used for moles in cosmetically sensitive areas where the surgeon can carefully plan the incision to minimize scarring.
How it Works: The area around the mole is numbed with local anesthetic. The surgeon uses a scalpel to cut out the entire mole, along with a small margin of surrounding healthy tissue (called the excision margin). The depth and width of the excision are determined by the mole’s size, location, and appearance.
Benefits:
The most comprehensive method for ensuring complete mole removal.
Allows for a biopsy to rule out any cancerous cells. This is crucial for any mole that is changing, bleeding, or has other suspicious characteristics.
Stitches are used to close the wound, promoting proper healing and minimizing scarring. The surgeon will carefully align the skin edges to create the most aesthetically pleasing result possible.
What to Expect: The procedure is performed under local anesthesia. You will feel a pinching or stinging sensation when the anesthetic is injected. You should not feel any pain during the excision. The length of the procedure depends on the size and location of the mole.
Aftercare: Keep the area clean and dry. Follow your doctor’s instructions on wound care, including bandage changes and cleaning. Avoid strenuous activity that could stretch the incision site. Stitches are typically removed within 5-14 days. Scarring is inevitable, but the surgeon will use techniques to minimize it. Scar massage and silicone sheeting can further improve the appearance of the scar over time.
Important Considerations: Surgical excision usually leaves a linear scar. The size and appearance of the scar will depend on the size and location of the mole, as well as your individual healing response.
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.

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.
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.
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.
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.
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 London offers several advantages:
