Private Mole Removal · Dundee

Consultant-led mole removal for Dundee and Perth patients.

Moles are common skin growths that can be present from birth or develop over time, often appearing on the face, neck, or body. While most moles are harmless, some may change in size, shape, or colour, requiring expert assessment. Many patients also choose to have moles removed for aesthetic reasons or comfort.

Learn more about moles in our detailed guide on mole removal.

We provide safe and precise mole removal. Although based in Edinburgh, we frequently treat patients from Dundee, Perth, and surrounding areas who want quick access to expert-led care. Our consultant plastic surgeon ensures precise excision with a focus on achieving the best possible cosmetic outcome, helping to minimise scarring. During your personalised consultation, we will assess your mole and recommend the most appropriate treatment.

About the clinic

Our Edinburgh clinic — about an hour from Dundee

Our consultations take place at the Waterfront Private Hospital in Edinburgh — a modern private facility designed to provide the highest level of comfort, privacy, and expert care. Located in northwest Edinburgh, the hospital is easily reached from Dundee and Perth without navigating city centre traffic.

For Tayside patients, the clinic is about an hour from Dundee via the A90 and M90, and around 45 minutes from Perth. Regular train services run to Edinburgh Gateway and Haymarket, with a short taxi ride to the clinic.

With a calm, discreet atmosphere and free on-site parking, the Waterfront is well suited to patients from across Tayside and Angus seeking expert mole removal in a relaxed private setting.

Treatment methods

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.

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.

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. Every excision leaves a scar. We aim to minimise its visibility through careful incision placement and closure, and most scars fade considerably over 6–12 months. Removed tissue is routinely sent for histological analysis, which is included in the procedure price.

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.
