Laser Mole Removal for Men

Laser Mole Removal works best for treating viral warts or a verruca, sebaceous hyperplasia or other small lesions that are less likely to scar on fair skin.

We prefer not to use it for most moles as the heat from the laser makes the skin much more likely to scar. We also like to remind our male patients that on darker skin, brown staining for months is quite common.

We prefer for most moles, to use Radiosurgery Mole Removal.

Most facial procedures only require one visit. The effect of the procedure is long-lasting although of course there can be no guarantee that the lesion will not recur. Some moles have a deep element and so recurrence in these cases is possible. A repeat procedure at a later date, in some cases, may be required.

Radiosurgery laser mole removal is perfect, for men, both the face and body. You can have a mole removed from anywhere on your body. Dr Maini has years of experience removing moles from the face and sensitive and hard to reach places.

One of the main concerns in regards to moles is whether the mole has become cancerous. The vast majority of moles are not dangerous. Moles that are more likely to be cancer are those that look different than other existing moles or those that first appear after the age 25. If you notice changes in a mole’s colour, height, size, or shape, you should have a doctor evaluate it. You should also have moles checked if they bleed, ooze, and itch or become tender/painful.

The following ABCDE’s are important characteristics to consider when examining moles. If a mole displays any of these signs listed below, have it checked immediately by a Doctor/Dermatologist as it could be cancerous.

• Asymmetry- One half of the mole does not match the other half.
• Border- The border or edges of the mole are ragged, blurred or irregular.
• Colour- The colour of the mole is not the same throughout or has shades of tan, brown, black, blue, white or red.
• Diameter- The diameter of a mole is larger than the eraser of a pencil.
• Evolution- The mole is changing in size, shape and colour.

If the cost of your treatment plan is priced over £2,500 finance options are available but we do not offer finance for treatments below this amount.

As with any procedure there are potential risks and side effects. Our senior Doctor, Dr Maini, is highly experienced and will talk you through any side effects and make sure you feel comfortable before the removal.

• Minor swelling
• Redness
• Bruising
• Tenderness
• In some mole removal cases scarring

This procedure is ideal for any raised lesion on the skin-especially the face, due to the superior healing it offers. In general, most moles are good candidates for removal, although if you have any suspicious moles they may need to be removed by a dermatologist. We recommend booking in for a consultation with Dr Maini and then he can advise you on whether removing a mole is the best option for you.

No, we would not advise that anyone attempts to remove a mole, wart or lesion without seeking help from a professional. We have unfortunately seen many nasty scars caused by people who have attempted mole removal at home.

Make an appointment to see your GP as soon as possible. They will make an assessment and potentially refer you to a hospital. We advise not to remove a mole that may be a potential, only by an NHS Consultant Dermatologist or Plastic Surgeon.

We will inject some local anaesthetic beneath the mole to ensure the remainder of the procedure is as pain-free as possible. Laser removal is described as feeling the flick of an elastic band but because you will be numbed in the area, you shouldn’t feel much pain at all.

In most cases, we would remove the dressing after 2 days when the mole is then allowed to dry and scab. Most scabs will naturally fall off in 2-4 weeks, leaving a pink or red mark that will then fade and disappear over the course of 12 months.
