Moles, known medically as nevi, are common skin lesions that appear in diverse colours, sizes, and shapes. While many moles are benign, some may cause concern due to their size, placement, or visual impact. It’s crucial to observe any changes in your moles, as such alterations could signify potential health issues. Learn more about moles and what to look out for in our detailed mole guide.
We are dedicated to the safe and accurate removal of moles, tailoring the procedure to meet your individual requirements. We concentrate on careful mole removal whilst striving for the finest aesthetic results. During your tailored consultation, we will identify the optimal methods for removing your mole, prioritising both your safety and satisfaction with the cosmetic outcome.

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.
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 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.
Below are guide prices and can vary depending upon the complexity of your procedure. Make an enquiry and we can give you an accurate price after learning more about size, number and location of your moles. What you pay is always determined prior to committing to any treatment.

Yes. We remove both benign moles for cosmetic purposes and suspicious moles requiring medical assessment. During your consultation, we’ll advise on the most suitable removal option.
The procedure is carried out under local anaesthetic, so it isn’t painful. Most patients only experience mild discomfort afterwards, which typically settles within a day or two.
All surgical mole removals result in a scar, but we use precise techniques to minimise scarring, especially for facial or visible areas.
We offer shave removal and full excision techniques, depending on the mole’s type, location, and your preference. The consultant will explain the best option for you.
If there’s any concern about the mole’s appearance, we’ll send it for histological analysis (lab testing) to confirm whether it’s benign or requires further treatment.
All mole removals are performed by a consultant surgeon listed on the GMC Specialist Register, with experience in plastic and skin surgery.
