Mole Removal in Bexleyheath
From £395
Safe, effective removal for cosmetic or diagnostic purposes.
Moles, also known as naevi, are common skin growths formed by clusters of pigment-producing cells. They can be flat or raised and range in colour from light brown to almost black. They may also be clear or skin coloured. Moles may appear anywhere on the body and can change in size, shape or texture over time.
While most moles are harmless, people often choose to remove them for cosmetic reasons or due to irritation caused by clothing or friction. In some cases, removal is advised for diagnostic or preventative reasons, especially if a mole has changed in appearance.
How do we remove Moles at Persona Medical Aesthetics
At our CQC-regulated clinic in Bexleyheath, we offer two clinically proven options for mole removal: skin shave excision and surgical excision.
Skin Shave
This technique is ideal for raised, non-suspicious moles. Using a sterile blade, our medical team gently shaves the mole so it sits flush with the surrounding skin. The result is smoother skin with minimal scarring.
Surgical Excision
For deeper moles or those that appear atypical, we perform a surgical excision. This method involves removing the entire mole, including a small margin of surrounding tissue. It is the preferred approach when histological testing may be required.
Your treatment method will be determined during your free consultation, based on the size, shape and location of your mole.
Client Results
How does the treatment work?
We start by cleaning the area and administering local anesthetic, the medics then proceed with the relevant method of removal, depending on your treatment plan:
In a skin shave, we carefully remove the raised mole using a surgical blade. Then we smooth the surface to blend with any surrounding skin.
For a surgical excision, we will create a small yet precise incision around and beneath the mole. After removal, stitches may be used to aid the healing process and minimise scarring. If non-dissolvable stitches are used, you will be required to come back into the clinic 7-10 days post procedure to have them removed.
What to expect after treatment:
Mild redness and tenderness at the removal sight may last for a short while, but should begin to fade within a few weeks. As your healing progresses, your skin will continue to smooth out and any scarring should start to fade to match your natural skin tone.
When to expect results:
Healing will begin immediately after the treatment. With a skin shave removal, the area can form a scab that falls off naturally within 7-10 days; We recommend not picking at any scabs to avoid any scarring.
For surgical excisions, the recovery period may last 10-14 days, depending on the size of the excision and whether stitches are required.
If we send your mole for testing, you will recieve a follow up from us when we obtain your results. This is usually within 1-2 weeks.
To help with healing, we recommend avoiding exposure to the sun on the treated area, and to follow the aftercare we provide post procedure.
