Mole Removal in London
Our focus when it comes to removing moles is about providing peace of mind, and restoring confidence in your skin’s health and appearance.
Led by Dr. Maini, an expert in Mole Removal procedures, our London-based Mole Removal services offer a blend of precision and care. Our London clinics offer Non-Surgical Mole Removal, available to all patients, including those under 18 subject to parental consent and a letter from the GP. Our high success rates and free retreats make us the ideal choice for Mole Removal in London.
What Is a Mole?
The medical term for a mole is ‘Intradermal Naevus’, which translates to mean a lump within the layers of skin.
Moles can appear in all different shapes, sizes, and textures, and are usually benign (completely harmless). However, many people still wish their moles to be removed.
Moles can vary in appearance, ranging from flat, brown spots to raised, darker growths. Skin specialists often recommend monitoring moles for changes in shape, colour, or size, as these could indicate a precursor to skin cancer, such as melanoma.
At Zenith, we prioritise your well-being by providing comprehensive mole assessments to distinguish between common moles and potentially harmful ones.
How Non-Surgical Mole Removal Works at Zenith
Dr. Maini assesses each patient to determine the best Mole Removal method. For simple cases, he performs Non-Surgical treatments. If surgery is required, our skilled Plastic Surgeons handle precise shaving or excision procedures.
During your initial consultation with the Doctor at our London clinic, our priority is to ensure your comfort and address any concerns you may have regarding the mole removal procedure.
The consultation will involve a thorough assessment of the mole, to check its suitability for radiosurgery. You will also have the opportunity to discuss potential risks and ask any questions. If Non-Surgical Mole Removal is appropriate, your appointment with Zenith will be booked. However, if the Doctor deems your mole to be suspicious, it can be sent to histology for thorough checks to ensure its safety.
Methods of Mole Removal Available in London
During your consultation, the Doctor will assess your case, examine the mole, and recommend the most suitable method for your Mole Removal.
Below, we detail our treatment available in London. This treatment is also available in our Nottingham clinic, where you can also receive Shaving and Excision treatments.
Laser Mole Removal / Radiosurgery Mole Removal
First discovered in the late 1960’s, Radiosurgery (or Laser Mole Removal) involves high-frequency electricity that vaporises the skin by vibrating the water within the cells. It’s known as the neatest way to remove certain moles. This technique is pain-free with a local anaesthetic and can remove the mole quickly.
More About Laser Mole Removal Vs Radiosurgical Mole Removal
Laser Mole Removal
- 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.
- Here at Zenith, we prefer not to use Laser treatments for most moles, since the heat from the laser makes the skin much more likely to scar.
Radiosurgical Mole Removal
- The beauty of this technique is that there is no heat passed into the skin tissue, which is optimal for healing.
- For the vast majority of moles that we see, we feel that Radiosurgical Mole Removal is the most effective method, providing the best healing. The procedure can be difficult to perform perfectly, which is why only our expert Dr Maini has this responsibility.
Why Do People Remove Moles?
There are a variety of different reasons why patients might opt for mole removal. These include:
- Mole catching on clothing, or catching whilst combing your hair / beard
- Mole located in a prominent area, for example on the face
- To improve self-confidence
Please note, if your mole is changing colour or growing rapidly, it should be urgently assessed by a doctor.

FAQs: Mole Removal in London
Are all moles removed for cosmetic reasons?
While some moles are removed for cosmetic purposes, others may require removal due to suspicion of melanoma or other health concerns. Our Doctors and Dermatologists evaluate each mole before removal.
How do I know if I require Laser treatment or Radiosurgery?
Here at Zenith, you will always have a consultation before any treatment goes ahead. During this consultation with the Doctor, you will receive a thorough examination and assessment, providing a clear understanding of which treatment is right for you.
In general, most moles are good candidates for removal. However, if you have any suspicious moles, they may need to be removed by a dermatologist.
Will my mole grow back after it has been removed?
Recurrence rate is less than 1%. Our Doctor is highly experienced and takes care to ensure the entire mole is removed. However, just in case, we offer free retreats for 2 years after your initial treatment.
Will there be scarring after my Mole Removal?
The degree of scarring varies based on the removal method and individual healing. Our specialists prioritise techniques that minimise scarring, and also provide aftercare instructions to aid healing.
Are there risks associated with Mole Removal?
As with any medical procedure, there are potential risks such as infection, scarring, or changes in skin pigmentation. Our specialists discuss these risks during the initial consultation and provide comprehensive aftercare guidelines.
Is Mole Removal a preventive measure against skin cancer?
Mole Removal can be both preventive and curative. Moles or atypical growths are identified and removed promptly, reducing the risk of skin cancer development. Regular skin checks and sun protection are also crucial in preventing skin cancer.
Is Mole Removal painful?
Here at Zenith Cosmetic Clinics we will inject some local anaesthetic beneath the mole to ensure the procedure is as pain-free as possible! After the initial insertion of anaesthetic, you should not be able to feel a thing.
How long will my mole take to heal after the Laser or Radiosurgery procedure?
In most cases, we would remove the dressing after 2 days when the mole then has a chance 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.
Can I remove my own mole?
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.
What health concerns are related to moles?
One of the main concerns when it comes to moles is whether the mole has become cancerous. However, it’s important to note that the vast majority of moles are not dangerous.
Moles that are more likely to be cancerous are those that look different to other existing moles, or moles that first appear from the age of 25.
If you notice changes in a mole’s colour, height, size, or shape, you should seek an evaluation from a doctor. You should also have moles checked if they bleed, ooze, 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.
What should I do if I notice my mole changing?
Make an appointment to see your GP as soon as possible. They will make an assessment and potentially refer you to a hospital. Do not attempt to remove the mole yourself.
What are the side effects or risks of laser mole removal for men?
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
- Scarring (in some Mole Removal cases)
