Choosing where to have a mole removed is as important as the procedure itself. At City Dermatology Clinic London, we provide expert mole removal in the heart of London, with clinics in the City of London and Harley Street. Our team includes GMC-registered dermatologists and consultant plastic surgeons, ensuring every patient is treated with precision, safety, and a focus on natural results.
We offer same-day consultations and procedures, so patients can be assessed and treated in one visit. Whether you need a mole removed for medical reasons or to improve your appearance, our approach combines advanced surgical techniques with specialist aftercare, giving you the highest standard of private treatment in London.
Why Patients Have Moles Removed
Mole removal is one of the most common minor skin procedures in London, carried out for both medical and cosmetic reasons. Some patients choose removal for peace of mind, others for comfort or appearance, and many for a combination of all three.
Medical reasons include:
- A mole that changes in size, shape, or colour.
- Irregular borders or uneven pigmentation.
- New moles appearing later in life.
- Irritation or bleeding caused by friction from clothing or shaving.
Cosmetic reasons are just as important for many patients:
- Raised moles on the face or neck that affect confidence.
- Multiple moles in high-visibility areas.
- Moles that catch on jewellery, razors, or clothing.
- Large or dome-shaped moles that disrupt skin texture.
Types of Moles
Patients visit us with many different mole types, including:
- Flat moles: pigmented spots level with the skin.
- Raised moles: dome-shaped or nodular growths.
- Congenital moles: present from birth.
- Atypical moles: unusual appearance but not necessarily cancerous.
- Junctional moles: flat, brown, and often on sun-exposed areas.
- Dermal moles: flesh-coloured and often protruding from the skin.
Common Mole Removal Methods in London
Across London clinics, mole removal techniques include:
- Shave mole removal: for raised or protruding moles.
- Surgical excision: complete removal including a margin of surrounding skin.
- Electrocautery: uses heat to remove small lesions and seal blood vessels.
- Laser mole removal: heat energy to break down mole tissue (more common in cosmetic clinics; not always suitable for suspicious moles).
- Cryotherapy: freezing the mole with liquid nitrogen.
While City Dermatology Clinic London specialises in shave removal, surgical excision, and electrocautery, we ensure patients understand all available methods, including those offered elsewhere, so they can make an informed choice.
Why Choose City Dermatology Clinic London for Mole Removal
Patients across London choose City Dermatology Clinic London for our combination of medical expertise, state-of-the-art facilities, and personalised care. Every mole removal is carried out by a GMC-registered consultant dermatologist or consultant plastic surgeon, many of whom have trained and practised in leading UK hospitals, including Great Ormond Street, St George’s, and internationally recognised centres.
Our focus is on results that look natural and heal quickly. We use proven techniques such as shave removal, excision, and electrocautery, selected based on the mole’s size, shape, and location. Histology is arranged when required, giving patients complete reassurance.
Patients often comment on the quality of their results, with before-and-after improvements that look natural and show minimal signs of treatment. Our portfolio of cases includes both medical mole removals and cosmetic procedures for improved appearance and comfort.
We are known for:
- A track record of excellent results supported by patient reviews.
- Access to both medical and cosmetic mole removal in the same clinic.
- Transparent pricing with no hidden costs.
- Convenient central London locations with same-day appointment availability.
Our London Mole Clinics
City Dermatology Clinic London operates from two of the most accessible and respected locations in the capital, City of London and Harley Street. Both clinics offer the same high standards of medical care, ensuring patients can choose the location most convenient to them.
Queens Street Clinic (City of London)
Located in the heart of London’s financial district, our Queens Street clinic is ideal for patients working in or visiting the area. Just a short walk from major Underground stations, it offers discreet and efficient appointments, including same-day mole removal. Many patients choose this location for quick access during the working day, with procedures carried out in fully equipped treatment rooms.
Harley Street Clinic
Our Harley Street location sits in one of the UK’s most famous medical districts, known worldwide for excellence in private healthcare. The clinic provides a calm, private setting for mole removal, with consultant-led care and access to advanced surgical facilities. Many international patients and London residents choose Harley Street for its reputation and ease of access.
Both clinics follow the same process: initial consultation, medical photography, mole assessment, and treatment, often all in a single visit. Whichever location you choose, you’ll receive the same specialist attention, precise surgical technique, and natural-looking results.
Mole Removal Options We Offer
At City Dermatology Clinic London, we tailor each mole removal to the mole’s size, shape, location, and whether removal is for medical or cosmetic reasons. All procedures are performed by experienced dermatologists or consultant plastic surgeons, using methods designed to give smooth, natural results with minimal downtime.
Shave Mole Removal: For Raised or Dome-Shaped Moles
A quick, effective technique for moles that protrude above the skin. Under local anaesthetic, the mole is carefully shaved level with the surrounding skin. This approach typically leaves a small, flat mark that fades over time and allows for a fast recovery.
Excision Mole Removal: For Flat, Deep, or Irregular Moles
The mole is surgically removed along with a small margin of surrounding skin, then closed with fine sutures for optimal healing. Excision is recommended for moles where complete removal and histology testing are advised. It’s also suitable for moles in high-visibility areas where a precise cosmetic outcome is important.
Electrocautery Mole Removal: For Small or Superficial Lesions
A precise heat-based technique that seals blood vessels as it removes the mole, reducing the risk of bleeding and speeding up recovery. Often used for smaller skin lesions or to smooth the skin surface after a shave removal.
Where necessary, histology testing is arranged to rule out any underlying concerns, giving patients full peace of mind.
Cost of Mole Removal in London
Pricing for mole removal across London varies significantly by clinic, technique, and whether histology is included. Cosmetic procedures aren’t covered by the NHS, only medically necessary removals qualify. Private clinics typically require referral-free access and offer same‑day treatment, though rates differ widely.
Here’s how City Dermatology Clinic London compares with other notable providers:
| Clinic | First Mole (Shave / Simple Excision) | Additional Moles | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| City Dermatology Clinic London | Consultation £100 + Procedure: Shave £275; Excision body £325; Excision face £395 | Shave: £175 | Histology arranged as required; same‑day service |
| Cosmedics Skin Clinics | From £345 + consultation (waived if treatment same day) | ~£180 | Shave/laser methods; detailed histology pricing included |
| Dr Leah Clinics | See-and-treat (shave/excision) £500 incl. consultation; additional mole £300 | £300 | Includes mole-check dermoscope use |
| OneWelbeck (Mole Mapping) | Mapping from £315; assessment separately £250–£400 | N/A | For diagnostic mapping rather than routine removal |
| St John & St Elizabeth Hospital | From £695 (excludes consultation & histology) | N/A | Hospital-based setting; complex case indicative pricing |
| London Dermatology Clinic | Around £275; “LED phototherapy included” | N/A | Same-day treatment, scar-minimising LED benefit |
Why City Dermatology Clinic London Stands Out
- Our pricing begins at £275 for the first mole, competitive and clear, and we waive the separate consultation if treatment proceeds same day.
- Add-on rates (e.g. £175 for additional shave removal) are budget-friendly compared to others charging 70–80% of the initial price.
- We include histology when needed, without hidden extras.
- Both locations (City of London & Harley Street) support same-day “see and treat” appointments.
- We blend medical rigour with cosmetic finesse across all procedures.
Same-Day Mole Removal Service
For many patients, fitting treatment into a busy schedule is as important as the procedure itself. At City Dermatology Clinic London, we offer a same-day mole removal service at both our City of London and Harley Street clinics.
Your appointment begins with a consultation and skin assessment carried out by a consultant dermatologist or plastic surgeon. If removal is advised and you’re happy to proceed, we can perform the procedure immediately in the same visit. This “see-and-treat” approach saves patients multiple trips and reduces waiting time between diagnosis and treatment.
Same-day treatment is particularly beneficial for:
- Patients travelling into London from other parts of the UK or overseas.
- Professionals who need a discreet appointment during working hours.
- Those who want peace of mind and fast results after an initial mole assessment.
All same-day procedures follow strict medical protocols, with local anaesthetic for comfort, sterile surgical technique, and detailed aftercare instructions. For cosmetic cases, we also focus on scar minimisation and achieving the most natural-looking result possible.
