Mole Removal at Skinoza Clinic – Safe, Precise, and Expert Care
Understanding Mole Removal
Moles (also known as nevi) are common skin growths composed of pigment-producing cells called melanocytes. They can appear anywhere on the body, vary in size and colour, and may be flat or raised.
Most moles are completely harmless. However, some people choose to have them removed either for medical reasons (if the mole changes in appearance or causes concern) or for cosmetic reasons (if the mole affects confidence or comfort).
At Skinoza Clinic, we specialise in advanced mole removal techniques that are safe, precise, and designed to minimise scarring — combining medical expertise with cosmetic precision. Whether your goal is aesthetic improvement or peace of mind, our team ensures the procedure is handled with care and professionalism.

Why Consider Mole Removal?
There are two main reasons people seek mole removal:
● Cosmetic or Practical Reasons – Some moles appear in visible areas such as the face, neck, or hands and may affect self-confidence. Others can catch on clothing, shaving areas, or jewellery, causing irritation. Mole removal for cosmetic reasons is increasingly popular, offering smoother skin and improved comfort.
At Skinoza Clinic, we provide both medical and cosmetic mole removal — ensuring every procedure meets high safety and aesthetic standards.
What Our Mole Removal Service Includes
1. Comprehensive Consultation
Your journey begins with a detailed consultation with one of our qualified practitioners. During this appointment, we will:
● Assess whether the removal is for cosmetic or medical reasons.
● Explain which technique is best suited to your mole’s size, type, and location.
● Discuss healing, after-care, and any need for histological testing.
Our goal is to make sure you fully understand the procedure, recovery, and outcomes before any treatment takes place.
2. Tailored Removal Techniques
At Skinoza, we offer three professional mole removal methods, chosen based on your skin type, mole characteristics, and medical indications:
● Diathermy Mole Removal – This method uses a fine medical probe and controlled heat energy to precisely remove raised moles. Diathermy allows for accurate contouring and smooth cosmetic results, often performed under local anaesthetic for maximum comfort.
● Surgical Excision with Histology – For deeper or suspicious moles, our practitioners perform a minor surgical excision under local anaesthetic. The mole is completely removed along with a small margin of surrounding skin and sent for histological laboratory analysis to confirm it is benign. Stitches may be required, and healing is typically quick with appropriate after-care.
Every method is carried out in our clean, clinical environment using sterile medical instruments. The chosen technique depends on your consultation findings, desired outcome, and medical safety requirements.
3. Optional Histology and Lab Testing
If your practitioner recommends it, your mole can be sent for microscopic examination (histology) to confirm that the cells are normal. This is especially important if there are any changes in the mole’s shape, border, or colour.
Even if your mole appears benign, some clients prefer histology for reassurance. Our team will always explain your options clearly so you can make an informed choice.
4. After-Care and Healing
Proper after-care is vital to achieving the best cosmetic results and preventing complications. At Skinoza Clinic, we provide clear after-care guidance and follow-up checks where needed.
Typical after-care advice includes:
● Apply any prescribed ointment or antiseptic as directed.
● Avoid touching, scratching, or picking at the site.
● Protect the area from sun exposure using SPF 30+ sunscreen.
● Avoid swimming, saunas, and intense exercise for several days after treatment.
If surgical excision was used, you will be booked for a follow-up appointment for stitch removal and healing assessment.
Our team also offers post-healing scar-reduction treatments if required, such as laser or topical options to refine the final appearance.

Who Is Suitable for Mole Removal?
Mole removal may be suitable if:
● The mole causes irritation, discomfort, or catches on clothing.
● There has been a change in the mole’s appearance — such as size, shape, border, or colour.
● You want peace of mind about a long-standing mole.
You should avoid self-removal or non-medical “mole removal creams.” These can cause scarring, infection, or incomplete removal. Always seek treatment from qualified professionals like our team at Skinoza Clinic.
What to Expect During the Procedure
1. Consultation and Assessment
● The best technique is recommended based on the mole’s type and your preferences.
● Local anaesthetic is applied to ensure the procedure is pain-free.
2. Treatment
● The procedure usually lasts 20–40 minutes.
● If histology is required, the removed tissue is sent to the lab.
3. Post-Treatment Care
● You’ll receive detailed instructions for cleaning and protecting the treated area.
● Most clients can return to normal daily activities immediately.
4. Follow-Up
● Optional check-ups for scar management can be arranged after 4–6 weeks.
Healing and Results
Healing time varies depending on the mole’s size and the removal technique.
● Electrolysis or diathermy: the area usually heals within 7–10 days.
● Surgical excision: stitches are typically removed after 7–14 days, with full healing taking a few weeks.
The treated area may initially appear pink or slightly red but will fade gradually over time. Scarring is minimal, and our team can recommend post-treatment scar-reduction creams or laser options if desired.
Once healed, the mole should not regrow. If it does, a small follow-up treatment may be arranged to completely remove remaining pigment cells.
Risks and Possible Side Effects
Mole removal is a low-risk, straightforward procedure. However, like all skin treatments, there are minor risks, including:
● Temporary scabbing or bruising.
● Small scars or changes in pigmentation.
● Rare risk of infection if after-care is not followed.
● Rare recurrence of mole tissue.
All risks are fully discussed during your consultation, and our team is always available for advice during your recovery.
FAQ
