If you have a mole you would like checked, are concerned about a recent change or simply want an unwanted mole assessed for removal, we believe the right place to start is with a proper clinical assessment.
Our clinicians look at each mole individually rather than assuming removal is appropriate. Your appointment may include a clinical examination and dermoscopy, helping us assess the mole’s features in greater detail before discussing the next step.
We provide private mole checks and suitable removal for patients from St Albans, Harpenden, Redbourn, London Colney, Park Street, Marshalswick and surrounding areas.
Dermoscopy can give our clinicians a more detailed view of a mole and help inform whether removal, monitoring or further investigation is appropriate.
Suitable moles can be removed for medical or cosmetic reasons, depending on the clinical assessment.
Complete our free online assessment and upload clear photographs of the mole you would like checked along with a few details about your concern.
We’ll examine the mole and use dermoscopy where appropriate before explaining whether removal or further assessment is suitable.
If removal is appropriate, we’ll recommend the most suitable technique, carry out the procedure under local anaesthetic and provide clear aftercare advice.
There is more to mole removal than simply removing the visible skin. We first assess the mole to establish whether treatment is appropriate and which approach is right for you.
Your clinician will examine the mole and may use dermoscopy to look at its features in greater detail before recommending treatment.
Not every mole requires the same approach. Depending on its characteristics and location, we may recommend shave removal or surgical excision.
Suitable mole removal is carried out under local anaesthetic. This numbs the treatment area while you remain awake during the procedure.
Assessment of new or changing moles to identify the right removal option.
Sometimes the priority is understanding a mole more fully before considering removal. If something about its appearance or history requires closer assessment, we’ll explain why and what happens next.
Some moles may be better monitored than removed. We’ll explain what changes to look for and whether follow-up is needed.
If more information is needed, we may recommend a skin biopsy for further examination.
Where appropriate, removed tissue can be sent to a specialist laboratory for histological examination.
If melanoma is suspected, we’ll explain the findings and discuss the appropriate referral pathway.
If you’re considering mole removal in St Albans, start by telling us about your mole and uploading clear photographs through our free online assessment.
