Mole, Skin Tag & Seborrheic Keratoses Removal

Moles (melanocytic naevi) are small coloured spots on your skin. These are cells called melanocytes, which affect the colour of your skin. Moles tend to be brown or darker or skin-coloured. Moles can be flat or raised, smooth or rough, and some have hair growing from them. Moles are usually circular or oval with a smooth edge.

Over time Moles can change in both number and appearance. Some may fade, perhaps without you realising, or they may respond to hormonal changes e.g. during meopausee.

There are several different types of moles each with their own medical name. Most moles are safe or benign (non-cancerous). Moles tend to develop in your first 30 years and often before the age of 20. Even though most moles are harmless, they may be unsightly and affect your confidence, which is why many people seek treatment to rmeove them.. It is good advice to always check your skin and look for changes or development of new moles, especially new moles with uneven colouring, a ragged edge, bleeding or itching or that have grown quickly.

Skin tags are made of loose collagen fibres and blood vessels surrounded by skin. Skin tags are small, soft, skin-coloured growths that hang off the skin and can look like warts. They're harmless, very common and tend to be a few millimetres but can be bigger. They're often found on the neck, armpits and eyelids. They can be uncomfortable, catch on clothing or just look unsightly and effect confidence. The good news is we can remove them easily!

A milium (single) is small, white bump that typically appears on the face, nose, eyelids and cheeks. These are often found in groups called Milia (plural). They are formed when keratin becomes trapped beneath the surface of the skin. Keratin is a protein that is typically found in skin tissues, hair, and nail cells. Milia can occur in people of all ages, and can be caused by using incorrect skin care products. Ask your nurse specilaist which skin product will suit you the best.

Mole removal for cosmetic or apperance reasons, is not available on the NHS. Several patients have been referred to us, informally, by their GP.

The procedure, using cautery, is well established. The treatment will be performed by a trained, registered and qualified nurse. We have removed hundreds of moles over the last few years and many customers can't understand why they had not doen this sooner.

There may be a small amount of discomfort or none at all, this depends on the location of the mole or millia. The process is very quick and we can use local anaesthetic cream if the area being treated is sensitive.

We are not currently able to provide this service. Before your treatment, you will need to confirm to us that your GP has identified the moles as benign. If you're not sure just give us drop us a line and we can explain further. The process is very simple.
