Mole Removal Prices UK
One of the most commonly asked questions for people researching or considering a skin treatment or procedure is the price.
The cost of having something done is an important factor, but not the only one and not the most important either.
Mole Removal Costs
Prices updated September 2023
At the London Mole Removal Clinic (Cosmedics Skin Clinics), we try very hard to be transparent about our pricing, as well as offering good value. Other providers may charge less, but we also know that many others will charge considerably more. It is important to understand exactly what service you will receive.
Simple mole removal starts at £345. This is based on removal of a single mole using laser or shave excision techniques. This is a straightforward procedure which is carried out using local anaesthetic to ensure that it is pain-free. We work hard to minimise scarring and this is a great method for providing a good result.
If you’re having several moles removed, there is a saving for subsequent moles that are removed in the same treatment session; so additional moles are removed at just £180. Many patients choose to have a number of moles removed at once to take advantage of the saving, as well as it being more convenient.
Larger or more complex moles may require a different procedure. Ellipse excision is a slightly more involved surgical technique and this will require stitches. Mole removal by ellipse excision starts at £500, with prices increasing for larger moles.
An additional fee is payable for mole testing (histology), which is recommended by our experts. This is especially important for any changing or pigmented moles, to check for any abnormal cells; but we recommend it for all moles as best practice.
In addition, there is a fee for £75 consultation, although this is waived if the treatment is carried out in the same appointment, saving a return visit.
Prices provided on our website are a guide only and subject to confirmation at consultation. Our doctors/surgeons need to have inspected the mole in person in order to confirm the exact cost.
Mole Removal Providers
Here are a few things to consider for those choosing a mole removal provider.
- What is the procedure? Some beauty salons offer mole removal with laser, IPL or electrolysis equipment. This is not recommended. The moles will not be sent for testing and the practitioner is unlikely to be medically qualified.
- Who is carrying it out? It is advisable to choose a medically qualified practitioner, who can spot any worrying signs as well as being able to remove the mole safely using appropriate medical techniques.
- How much experience do they have? A person who specialises in mole removal and carries out hundreds of techniques on a regular basis is likely to be more reliable than a person whose expertise lies elsewhere.
- Where is the procedure held? Cosmedics Skin Clinics has a number of mole removal centres – clinics where doctors specialise in the procedure. They are all CQC registered and work to high clinical standards. Be wary of any provider who does not have CQC registration.
- Can I get it free? The NHS may remove a mole free of charge, but this is usually only in the case of ‘suspicious’ moles, which are deemed to be at risk of being cancerous. If you have concern about a mole, then the NHS is a good route and referral should be quick. See your GP and if they agree, you’ll be referred to a specialist. Sadly, if the mole is deemed to be cosmetic, then private treatment is the way to get it removed.
