Mole assessment
& removal.
Discuss whether mole removal may be appropriate after a doctor’s assessment. New, changing or concerning moles need a medical skin check; a cosmetic consultation or online quiz cannot rule out skin cancer.
A consultation does not commit you to a procedure.
Where medical expertise meets genuine care.
Thorough assessments and clear, honest advice on your options, limitations and risks, always at your pace.

Understanding
mole assessment & removal.
Overview
A doctor should assess the mole before cosmetic removal is considered. A new, changing, bleeding or otherwise concerning spot may need investigation or specialist review.
Ask which removal method is appropriate and whether a tissue sample needs laboratory testing. A cosmetic consultation or online quiz cannot rule out skin cancer.
Suitability
The diagnosis, size and location of the mole, your skin and healing history affect the options. Previous clearance does not replace assessment of a mole that has since changed.
Discuss the reason for removal, alternatives and expected scarring. Some assessed benign moles can be left alone.
Preparation
Bring details of when the mole appeared, any changes or symptoms, earlier photographs and GP or dermatologist reports. Include medicines, allergies and previous healing problems.
Ask the clinic how to prepare for the assessment. Do not stop prescribed medicines without advice from your treating clinician.
What to expect
Healing depends on the method, site and your health. Risks can include bleeding, infection, poor wound healing, scarring, altered sensation and the mole returning.
Ask about likely recovery and any further treatment that might be needed. A scar-free or completely flat result cannot be guaranteed.

Time for your questions.
Space to decide.
01Plan your consultation
Bring the mole’s history, changes and previous reports. A doctor should assess it before cosmetic removal is considered.
02Discuss suitable options
Ask about appropriate methods, laboratory testing, scarring, risks, recovery and alternatives. Further investigation may come first.
03Decide your next steps
Take time to decide. If removal is appropriate and you proceed, confirm wound care, results communication and follow-up.
04Your treatment
If treatment is suitable and you choose to proceed, your practitioner will explain the agreed procedure, its risks and what to expect before it begins.
05Aftercare & support
Follow the personalised instructions provided by your practitioner. Ask about expected recovery, warning signs, follow-up and who to contact if you have concerns, including outside clinic hours.
Your questions.
Do all moles qualify for cosmetic removal?
No. A doctor should assess the mole first. Further investigation may be needed before any cosmetic removal is considered.
Can I bring medical clearance from my GP or dermatologist?
Yes. Bring previous reports and photographs, but tell the treating doctor about any changes since that assessment. Earlier clearance does not replace a current review when a mole has changed.
Can large or raised moles be discussed?
Yes. A doctor should assess the mole’s appearance, history, size and location, and decide whether investigation or referral is needed before discussing cosmetic removal.
Is there an age requirement for mole consultations?
Our cosmetic services are intended for adults aged 18 and over. A concerning mole at any age should be assessed medically; cosmetic booking criteria should not delay that assessment.
What happens during the mole assessment consultation?
A doctor should review the mole and its history, including any changes or symptoms. Ask whether further investigation, laboratory testing or a specialist opinion is needed before removal is considered.
Will the mole be removed on the same day?
Do not assume removal will occur at the consultation. Assessment, any necessary investigations and informed consent come first.
What techniques may be used for cosmetic mole removal?
Ask the treating doctor which method is appropriate for the assessed mole and whether laboratory testing is needed. The method, risks and alternatives should be explained before you decide.
How long does the cosmetic removal take?
Timing depends on the assessment and proposed procedure. Ask for an estimate that includes preparation and aftercare advice.
Will the mole be completely flat after removal?
A flat or unnoticeable result cannot be guaranteed. Ask how the proposed method, mole location and your healing may affect the result, including the possibility of scarring or recurrence.
Can a mole grow back?
Some moles can partially return after removal. Your practitioner will discuss factors that may influence this.
Will the area scar?
Any skin procedure may result in scarring. Your practitioner will explain what affects healing outcomes.
Will the area blend with my natural skin tone?
A perfect colour match cannot be guaranteed. Discuss possible scarring and colour changes, how healing will be reviewed and what to do if the area changes later.
What signs indicate that a medical referral is needed?
Rapid changes in size, colour, or shape, or in symptoms such as itching or bleeding, require medical assessment.
What are the risks of mole removal?
Risks depend on the method and your health. They can include bleeding, infection, poor healing, scarring, altered sensation and recurrence. Discuss your individual risk and whether laboratory testing or specialist assessment is needed.
Can cosmetic removal be performed on moles in sensitive areas?
A doctor should assess the location and whether removal or specialist referral is appropriate. Ask how the area affects the method, risks and aftercare.
What if the mole changes after removal?
A GP or dermatologist should review any new or concerning changes.
What should I avoid before a mole assessment?
Ask the clinic how to prepare and whether to leave the area free of makeup or skincare. Bring your medicines, previous reports and any photographs showing changes. Do not stop prescribed medicines without your treating clinician’s advice.
How long does healing take after cosmetic removal?
Healing time varies depending on the technique and the individual.
When can I resume skincare or makeup?
Your practitioner will advise based on the technique used and how the area responds.
What should I ask about wound care?
Before removal, ask about dressings, cleaning, stitches if needed and follow-up. Contact your doctor if the wound develops redness, swelling, worsening pain or discharge.
