About this service

Expert Mole Removal Stirling and Falkirk

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.

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

We offer safe and precise mole removal, tailored to each patient’s needs. Although our clinic is in Edinburgh, we frequently care for patients from Stirling, Falkirk, and surrounding areas, providing fast access to expert treatment without requiring a GP referral. Our consultant plastic surgeon ensures mole excisions are performed with a focus on achieving the best possible cosmetic results while minimising scarring. During your personalised consultation, we will assess your mole and recommend the most appropriate treatment, giving you the knowledge and confidence to proceed.

Treatment methods

Mole Treatment Options

We provide two private mole removal options, designed to suit each patient’s needs while ensuring the best medical and cosmetic results.

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.

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.

Frequently asked

Frequently Asked Questions: Mole Removal

Q&A

01 Do you treat patients from Stirling and Falkirk?

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.

02 Is cosmetic mole removal available on the NHS?

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.

03 Can I have a consultation and removal on the same day?

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.

04 How much does mole removal cost?

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.

05 Is a referral required from my GP?

No referral is needed. You can contact us directly to arrange a consultation with our consultant plastic surgeon.

06 What types of moles do you remove?

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.

07 Does mole removal leave a scar?

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.

08 Is mole removal painful?

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.

09 How long is recovery after mole removal?

Most people return to normal daily activities within 24–48 hours. We provide full aftercare instructions to support healing and reduce visible scarring.

10 Can I drive home after my procedure?

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.
