About this service

Expert Mole Removal Dundee

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, tailored to your individual needs. 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, ensuring you have all the information needed to make a confident decision.

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, 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.
