"Attended on Christmas Eve for a consultation with Dr Kazem Nassar and subsequent multiple raised moles removal from face. Received really good information and assurance prior to attending , the procedure went smoothly and relatively pain free and also received good verbal and written advice regarding wound care . Stitch removal was pain free and all wounds appear to be healing well with good advice going forward to minimise scarring ! Wish I had done this years ago ! Hospital was easy to get to , small , quiet , ample parking , teas and coffees for patients and anyone waiting and friendly staff ."

"The hospital was lovely and clean. The doctor who did the cyst removal on my head was very well informed, told me everything about getting it done. Excelled customer service and care. The procedure itself along with a consultation took just under an hour so it was very quick and relatively painless, the doctor took time and care to take the cyst out. Nurse was lovely and friendly, I felt very at ease. I would recommend this hospital and if I need anything else done I will go here in the future."

Mole Treatment Options

We offer two private mole removal options tailored to meet the unique needs of our patients and strive for both optimal medical outcomes and aesthetic excellence.

  • Surgical Excision

    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.

  • Shave Excision

    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 paramount. During your initial consultation at the Edinburgh Waterfront Private Hospital, we’ll carefully examine your mole and suggest the most appropriate removal strategy based on its size, type, location, your skin type, and personal preferences. If preferred, we may be able to remove the mole immediately, avoiding the need for a repeat appointment.

We also emphasise the importance of post-procedure care to promote proper healing and reduce scarring, ensuring that you receive the highest standard of care and the best possible results in mole removal. Learn more about various mole treatment options in our comprehensive guide on moles.
