Most moles are benign, or non-cancerous. If you have a longstanding mole which has not changed, your mole is likely not dangerous. However, there are a few features to look out for:

Size – If your mole is more than 5mm or has grown in size

Shape – If your mole is irregular in shape

Border – Irregular borders

Colour – change in colour

Bleeding – if there has been bleeding without injury

If your moles have any of these features, you should book a consultation to assess your moles.

A full assessment of the concerned area will take place, along with a full medical history.

If the area of concern is suitable for removal, your clinician will confirm this with you and go through the procedure process, what to expect and any risks associated with this.

An appointment for your procedure will be scheduled with the same clinician, for continuity of care, at a convenient time and can often be arranged for their next clinic. You will then receive a full breakdown of the costs of your procedure. The costs start from £150 and depend on the complexity and size of the specimen being removed.

You will arrive for your procedure, having previously received a Pre-Procedure Patient Information Form, which includes information about how to prepare for your appointment.

We advise that you bring someone along to the procedure appointment with you, so they can drive you home afterwards, as you may not feel up to driving straight away.

Expect to be at the clinic for up to 1.5 hours, as you will be asked to relax after your appointment and be monitored by our nurses for a short time after your procedure.
