Removal of moles following clinical assessment
Price
Starting from £550
Most patients come in because a mole has changed in some way. It may have become raised, started catching on clothing, or begun to bleed slightly when it didn’t before.
Others simply want it checked properly after noticing it looks different. At Bodyvie, mole removal starts with assessment rather than immediate treatment.
What is mole removal?
Mole removal is a minor surgical procedure where a mole is carefully removed under local anaesthetic. It is approached as a clinical treatment rather than a cosmetic one.
The method used depends on how the mole presents on examination. Some can be removed more simply, while others require a more controlled excision to ensure the area heals well. Where there is any uncertainty, the tissue can be sent for laboratory analysis.
Who is suitable?
Patients usually attend with a specific concern rather than a general request.
This often includes:
- a mole that has changed in size, colour or shape
- something raised that catches when shaving or dressing
- occasional bleeding or irritation
- a mole that feels different from the surrounding skin
Some people also ask about removal for cosmetic reasons, although this is usually not the main reason for attending.
Suitability is confirmed during consultation. In some cases, removal is not advised and monitoring or further investigation is more appropriate.
Benefits of treatment
When the right cases are selected, removal tends to be straightforward.
- a mole that keeps catching can be dealt with properly
- repeated irritation or bleeding is no longer an issue
- any change in the lesion can be assessed more clearly
- tissue can be sent for histology where needed
- most procedures are completed in a single visit once planned
The treatment process
Consultation
The appointment begins with a close examination of the mole.
We discuss what you’ve noticed, how long it has been present, and whether it has changed. Your medical history is reviewed before deciding whether removal is appropriate.
If removal is not the right option, this is explained and alternatives are discussed. Not all moles are removed as a matter of routine.
The procedure
The area is numbed using local anaesthetic.
The mole is then removed using a technique suited to its type and position. Some can be treated more superficially, while others require a slightly deeper excision depending on how they sit within the skin.
The aim is to remove it cleanly while keeping the surrounding tissue as undisturbed as possible.
Where appropriate, the sample may be sent for histological analysis.
Aftercare
You’ll be given clear instructions before leaving the clinic.
This usually involves keeping the area clean, covering it initially, and allowing it to heal gradually. A follow-up may be arranged depending on the case.
Recovery and downtime
There is always a short healing period after mole removal.
You can expect a small wound where the mole was removed. This may feel slightly tender for a few days and requires basic care while it settles.
Most people return to normal activities quickly, although healing continues over the following weeks.
Results and healing
The result develops gradually as the skin repairs itself.
In many cases, the area settles to a faint mark over time. The final appearance depends on the size of the mole, its location, and how your skin heals.
It’s not possible to remove a mole without leaving some trace, but this is usually subtle once healing is complete.
Cost of mole removal in London
The cost of mole removal is confirmed after consultation.
This depends on the size of the mole, the method required, and whether histology is needed. You’ll be given a clear plan and quotation before any treatment goes ahead.
Cost of mole removal in London
Mole removal is a minor procedure, but it still involves the skin healing afterwards.
There is a small risk of scarring, which usually settles but can vary between individuals. Infection is uncommon and can usually be managed easily if it occurs.
Some moles may recur, and in certain cases further treatment may be needed. If there is any uncertainty about the nature of the mole, this is addressed before proceeding.
Your surgeon
Mole removal at Bodyvie is performed by Dr Vadim Corjos, a GMC-registered doctor.
He carries out both the assessment and the procedure, so decisions are made based on direct examination rather than a standard approach.
During your consultation, the mole is assessed carefully and discussed with you in practical terms. If removal is appropriate, the procedure is planned accordingly. If not, this is explained clearly and alternative options are discussed.
This in-depth consultation ensures that the procedure is suitable and that you have a clear understanding of the treatment, recovery and potential risks before proceeding.
GMC number: [XXXXXXXXXXXX]
The focus is on treating the issue safely, rather than removing tissue unnecessarily.
