Page Highlights
Moles are common skin growths that may appear from birth or develop over time, often found on the face, neck, or body. While most moles are harmless, changes in size, colour, or shape may require medical assessment. Many patients also choose mole removal for cosmetic reasons or personal comfort.

We provide two private mole removal options, designed to suit each patient’s needs while ensuring the best medical and cosmetic results.
Ideal for larger moles or those requiring a biopsy, this method involves surgically removing the mole along with a margin of surrounding tissue. The site is then stitched closed, typically leaving a minimal scar. The removed tissue can be sent for pathology if required.
Suitable for protruding moles, this technique involves shaving the mole level with the skin surface, usually resulting in a less noticeable scar. It's particularly effective for moles that stand out from the skin's surface.
Your safety and cosmetic goals are our top priorities. At your initial consultation at the Edinburgh Waterfront Private Hospital, we will assess your mole thoroughly, considering factors such as size, type, location, skin characteristics, and personal preferences. Where suitable, we may offer same-day removal, eliminating the need for an additional visit.
We also provide comprehensive aftercare guidance, focusing on optimal healing and minimal scarring to ensure the best possible outcome. Our expert-led approach guarantees high standards of care and precision in mole removal. Learn more about your treatment options in our comprehensive guide on moles.
Specialist consultations are £125 and include a detailed, in-person assessment with our consultant plastic surgeon.
Treatment fees vary based on the nature and complexity of the procedure. A guide to typical pricing can be found on our pricing page.
If preferred, you may submit a quick online enquiry to receive an all-inclusive treatment estimate prior to committing to a consultation. We will respond promptly with tailored guidance.
Yes. While our clinic is based in Edinburgh, we regularly see patients from Stirling, Falkirk, and surrounding areas who are seeking prompt, consultant-led mole removal with a focus on cosmetic outcomes.
The NHS generally removes moles only if there is a medical concern, such as suspected skin cancer. Cosmetic mole removal is not usually offered, even if the mole is causing distress. Private treatment is an option for those seeking removal for aesthetic reasons or peace of mind.
In many cases, yes. If the mole is suitable for same-day removal and you’re happy to proceed, we can often carry out the procedure during your consultation visit, subject to clinical assessment.
The consultation fee is £125. Mole removal procedures start from £595, depending on the size and location. All costs will be clearly discussed before treatment.
No referral is needed. You can contact us directly to arrange a consultation with our consultant plastic surgeon.
We remove a range of benign skin lesions, including raised moles, flat moles, and those in cosmetically sensitive areas. Any mole that appears suspicious is sent for laboratory testing after removal.
Some scarring is inevitable, but we use meticulous surgical techniques to minimise its appearance. Scar placement and aftercare are carefully considered to promote the best cosmetic result.
No. The procedure is done under local anaesthetic, so you won’t feel pain during treatment. Mild discomfort afterwards is common and usually short-lived.
Most people return to normal daily activities within 24–48 hours. We provide full aftercare instructions to support healing and reduce visible scarring.
If you’re travelling from Stirling or Falkirk by car, we recommend bringing someone with you. Driving immediately after a local anaesthetic is not advised.
