At Skintel, our specialist dermatologists are highly skilled at removal procedures and work with patients to offer them the best possible cosmetic results. Mole removal isn’t just about safely excising tissue – it’s about preserving how your skin looks afterwards, minimising scarring, and ensuring you feel comfortable and confident with the results.
Tailored Treatments
Skintel begins with understanding your reasons for mole removal – whether it is discomfort, repeatedly catching and bleeding, or purely cosmetic. We discuss all removal options (cryotherapy, curettage, punch excision, shave excision, diathermy, laser and surgical excision) and help you choose the method that balances medical safety with aesthetic outcome. Our dermatologist will explain how each technique might affect the look of your skin, so you can feel confident about both the medical and cosmetic results before moving forward.
Planning & Techniques
Skintel’s dermatologists carefully plan every step to achieve a result that blends naturally with your skin. Before the procedure, your specialist will mark your skin, considering natural lines and contours to ensure the scars are least noticeable. Moreover, excision margins are kept as narrow as safely possible, removing only what’s necessary, to minimise wound size and preserve surrounding skin. In some cases, local skin flaps or grafts may be used to maintain texture and colour consistency, ensuring your skin heals with a smooth, natural appearance.
- During the Procedure: We administer a local anaesthetic to keep you comfortable during the procedure. As part of the excision, diathermy may be utilised to stop the bleeding, as this can improve the cosmetic result.
- Closing the Excision: During the closure, the wound will be stitched – typically using two layers of sutures. Safety margins are kept as narrow as possible to minimise the size of the wound, though, in some cases, we may use a different closure method for better cosmetic outcomes.
- Post-Procedure and After Care: We will clean the wound, apply a dressing and we will take you through how the procedure went. Not just that – before you leave, we will provide you with spare dressings, after care instructions and our after-hours contact number should you have any concerns. While it is uncommon to expect any problems, we want you to feel reassured that help is always available if anything unexpected comes up. Following our aftercare guidance also helps scars settle discreetly, supporting the cosmetic result long after you leave the clinic.
