Is my mole checked before it is removed?

Yes. Dr Allen examines every mole before removing it, and mole removal at Cheshire Lasers is for moles he is satisfied are harmless.

If he has any concern about a mole, he will not remove it here. He will arrange for it to be removed at another clinic, where it can be sent for laboratory analysis.

How do you remove Moles?

Shave excision and surgical curettage are the most common and easiest methods for removing a protruding mole.

Before the procedure begins, local anaesthetic injections are used to completely numb the area, helping to keep you comfortable throughout the treatment. Occasionally, a very thin layer of the underlying skin is also removed. This area heals naturally from the edges and the base, so stitches are usually not required.

The procedure is for raised moles, not flat moles, which require full surgical removal.

What are Moles?

Moles are common skin lesions that can occur at any age. They are usually not harmful; however, if they are prominent, they can make people self-conscious.

What will it be like after treatment?

After the procedure, the area will remain numb for an hour.

It will look like a flat scab, and the wound will feel like a graze.

The scab will fall off naturally after a week, leaving a flat pink area. The pink area usually returns to normal skin colour after a few weeks. Sometimes, however, the skin may be l permanently lighter or darker following removal.

Does mole removal hurt?

The area is numbed with local anaesthetic before the mole is removed, so the procedure itself should not be painful. The anaesthetic is the part most people notice. The area stays numb for about an hour afterwards, and the wound then feels like a graze rather than a cut.

Will I have a scar?

The wound heals from the edges and the base rather than being stitched, so it usually settles as a flat mark rather than a raised or drawn line. A scab forms, falls away naturally after about a week, and leaves a flat pink area that fades over the following weeks.

Occasionally the skin stays slightly lighter or darker than the skin around it. Dr Allen will talk through what to expect for your particular mole at the assessment.

How long does a Mole Removal Treatment take?

A Mole removal treatment takes up to an hour,

This allows Dr Allen to assess your mole and make sure it is suitable for treatment. He will then discuss the procedure in more detail and obtain your consent.

Once the anaesthetic has taken effect, the removal procedure usually takes only a few minutes. Stitches are rarely needed, and heat is used to cauterise any blood vessels afterwards.

Most patients cannot believe how quick and easy mole excision is, and often say that they wish they had done it sooner.
