City Dermatology Clinic Dubai offers expert mole removal in Dubai from our clinic based in Jumeirah – just a few minutes’ walk from Jumeirah 3 Beach and easily accessible from surrounding areas. Whether you’re looking to remove a facial mole for cosmetic reasons or need treatment for a mole that has changed in shape or size, our team of dermatologists and surgeons provide safe, effective solutions. We offer both shave excision and surgical mole removal, tailoring each treatment to your needs with a focus on clear results, minimal scarring, and fast recovery.
Shave excision involves gently removing the mole using a precise blade, trimming it down to the level of the surrounding skin. It’s a minimally invasive procedure, typically performed under local anaesthesia. This method is often used for raised moles that don’t require full-thickness removal. In some cases, electrocautery may be used to stop minor bleeding and reduce infection risk, which also supports smoother healing. Shave excision is especially popular for facial mole removal or any mole where minimal scarring is a priority. Since it doesn’t usually require stitches, recovery is quick and the cosmetic outcome is often excellent.
This method involves removing the entire mole, including a margin of surrounding tissue, under local anaesthetic. The area is then closed with stitches to support proper healing and reduce the risk of recurrence. Surgical excision is the preferred option for moles that are deep-rooted, irregular in shape, or require histological testing. The removed mole is often sent for lab analysis to rule out melanoma or other skin cancers, giving you peace of mind and medical clarity. It’s a more comprehensive approach that ensures complete removal – ideal for both medical mole removal and patients who want a permanent result.
At City Dermatology Clinic Dubai, our specialists are experienced in both medical and cosmetic mole removal. Whether you’re monitoring a mole on your face, back, arms, or legs, understanding its type helps guide the right treatment and supports early detection of skin changes. We treat all mole types – from harmless facial moles to atypical or congenital ones that may require further assessment. Below are the most common types we see:
| Type of Mole | Description |
|---|---|
| Raised Moles | Protrude from the skin and may vary in colour. Often affected by friction from clothing. |
| Flat Moles | Flush with the skin and uniform in colour. Harder to spot changes without regular checks. |
| Atypical Moles (Dysplastic Nevi) | Larger with irregular borders and uneven colour. Not cancerous but may carry a higher risk. |
| Congenital Moles | Present from birth. Vary in size; larger ones may carry an increased melanoma risk. |
| Acquired Moles | Develop during childhood or early adulthood. Usually small, round, and uniform in colour. |
At City Dermatology Clinic Dubai, we see patients seeking mole removal in Dubai for both cosmetic and medical reasons. While most moles are harmless, it’s important to understand when a mole may require further assessment.
| Symptom | Description |
|---|---|
| Changes in shape | Irregular or asymmetric borders may signal something abnormal |
| Uneven colour | A mix of brown, black, red, or other tones within a single mole |
| Increasing size | A mole growing in diameter (especially beyond 6mm) should be assessed |
| Itching or bleeding | Persistent itching, crusting, or bleeding can indicate irritation or risk |
| New moles in adulthood | Sudden appearance of moles after age 30 may require closer examination |
| Cause | Details |
|---|---|
| Genetics | Many moles are inherited and run in families |
| Sun exposure | UV radiation can trigger mole formation or changes in existing moles |
| Hormonal changes | Moles may appear or darken during puberty, pregnancy, or hormonal shifts |
| Skin irritation | Friction or repeated trauma can affect mole appearance, especially on raised moles |
| Congenital factors | Moles present from birth are due to skin cell changes during development |

The healing process following mole removal is generally quick and uncomplicated. Most patients can expect the treated area to heal fully within 2 to 3 weeks. It’s normal to experience some soreness and a healing wound in the days immediately following the procedure. We provide comprehensive aftercare support to all our patients, including a free follow-up consultation. During this consultation, we review the healing process, offer advice on caring for the wound, and provide any necessary dressings. Our goal is to ensure your recovery is smooth and to minimise the risk of scarring, guiding you through each step of the healing process for the best possible cosmetic outcome.
We recommend avoiding the beach, swimming pools, and sun exposure for a few days after your mole removal – especially if you’ve had stitches. You can still enjoy a walk nearby, but protecting the treated area from water, sand, and UV is important for proper healing and minimal scarring.
The duration of a mole removal procedure at City Dermatology Clinic can vary depending on several factors, including the size, depth, and location of the mole being removed. On average, the procedure can take up to 30 minutes. We strive to accommodate our patients’ schedules, offering the convenience of undergoing the mole removal procedure immediately following your consultation, should time allow. Our clinic is equipped with the latest technology to ensure efficient and effective treatment, prioritizing your comfort and safety throughout the process.
Moles can form on virtually any part of the body, including areas not commonly exposed to sunlight. Some of the most common places to find moles include the scalp, armpits, under the nails, and between the fingers and toes. It’s also possible to find moles on the soles of the feet, the palms of the hands, and even under the eyes. The wide range of possible locations underscores the need for thorough skin examinations during regular health check-ups, as moles in less visible areas can sometimes go unnoticed.
At City Dermatology Clinic, we prioritise your comfort and well-being. Mole removal is performed under local anaesthesia, which numbs the area around the mole, ensuring that you feel no pain during the procedure. Our experienced dermatologists have a wealth of experience in performing these minor surgical procedures, focusing on making the experience as painless and stress-free as possible. Following the procedure, you may experience some minor discomfort as the anaesthetic wears off, but this is typically mild and manageable with over-the-counter pain relief if necessary.
Cosmetic mole removal is designed to enhance appearance by removing harmless moles that may be unwanted for aesthetic reasons. Medical mole removal, however, is performed for health-related concerns, focusing on moles that might be suspicious or potentially harmful. These procedures often include a histological analysis to check for skin cancer or other conditions.
At City Dermatology Clinic, all our doctors are highly trained plastic surgeons, including Dr. Jana Torres-Grau, Mr. Georgios Pafitanis, Dr. Nicki Bystrzonowski, Mr. Vincenzo Ottaviano, Mr. Reza Alamouti, Mr. Marcus Davis, Dr. Giulia Luciano, and Mr. Parviz Sadigh. Their expertise and precision make us a trusted choice for any mole removal, no matter how complex the case.
Mole removal is generally a safe and straightforward procedure, with risks being very minimal when performed by skilled professionals. However, as with any medical or cosmetic procedure, there are potential side effects to consider, such as mild bleeding, infection, or scarring.
At City Dermatology Clinic, your safety and satisfaction are our top priorities. Our expert team of highly trained plastic surgeons and dermatologists use advanced techniques to minimise risks and ensure the best possible outcomes. We are committed to providing exceptional care and delivering results that leave you feeling confident and reassured.
If you’re concerned about a mole, it’s important to take action promptly. Changes in size, shape, colour, or texture, as well as itching or bleeding, may indicate the need for professional evaluation. Our doctors use advanced dermatoscopes to examine moles in detail, identifying any signs of concern. We provide expert assessments to detect and address potential risks early. Whether for medical or cosmetic reasons, we offer safe and effective mole removal procedures tailored to your needs.
Understanding the difference between a mole biopsy and mole removal is crucial in determining the appropriate course of action for addressing various skin concerns. A mole biopsy is a diagnostic procedure designed to evaluate a mole at a cellular level. This involves gently shaving or removing a small portion of the mole to be sent off for detailed laboratory analysis. The main aim of a biopsy is to ascertain whether the cells within the mole are benign or malignant, particularly recommended when a mole exhibits atypical features or changes that could indicate a potential for skin cancer. On the other hand, mole removal is a procedure aimed at the complete elimination of the mole from the skin for reasons that may include cosmetic preferences, discomfort due to the mole’s location, or concerns about the mole being potentially cancerous, as indicated by a prior biopsy or clinical evaluation. Performed under local anaesthesia, mole removal methods such as excision or laser removal focus on removing the mole in its entirety, often without the need for further analysis unless skin cancer is a concern.
The key differences between these two procedures lie in their purpose, procedure, and follow-up care. While a biopsy is diagnostic, aimed at detecting cancerous cells, mole removal is therapeutic, intended to eliminate a mole from the skin for cosmetic, comfort, or health reasons. The biopsy involves taking a sample for analysis, whereas removal is about the complete elimination of the mole. Following a biopsy, additional treatment may be necessary based on the results, potentially including mole removal or further medical intervention. In contrast, the primary focus after mole removal is on healing and monitoring the area for any signs of abnormal regrowth or skin changes, ensuring the best possible outcome for the patient’s skin health and appearance.
Our surgeons are skilled in advanced closure techniques to ensure the best cosmetic outcome. With proper care and time, most scars fade significantly and blend naturally with your skin.
While rare, some individuals may have a tendency to develop more prominent scars, such as hypertrophic or keloid scars. If this occurs, our clinic provides tailored solutions to address these issues, including specialised treatments to improve scar appearance. Rest assured, our team is committed to helping you achieve the best possible results with minimal visible scarring.
Moles are very common, with most adults having between 10 to 40 moles on their body by the time they reach adulthood. The number of moles someone has can vary due to factors like genetics and sun exposure. While the vast majority of moles are benign and not a cause for concern, monitoring them for any changes is important as part of regular skin health checks. Moles are not contagious and tend to develop more frequently on areas of the skin that receive a lot of sun exposure, highlighting the importance of sun protection as a preventive measure.
