Whether you’re looking to remove your mole for cosmetic reasons or because it’s causing you worry, Northway Clinic can help. Our friendly, expert team is highly skilled in removing moles of all shapes and sizes from different areas of your body, ensuring your skin stays protected and you feel confident.
When does a mole need to be removed?
While most moles are harmless, they can be removed if you’re unhappy with their appearance or find that they catch on your clothes or jewellery and cause discomfort.
If you notice new changes to your mole or we think it could potentially become problematic, we can remove it safely and effectively.
Signs that a mole may need to be removed include:
- Changing colour
- Having more than two colours
- Uneven edges
- Bleeding or itching
- Growing in size
- Changing shape
Any changes to your moles must be assessed as soon as possible.
As part of our mole removal services, we perform mandatory histology on any moles we remove. This involves sending a sample of your mole for lab analysis to check for any abnormalities that may require further treatment.
We also offer a separate full-body mole check for £250, where we assess all the moles on your body and provide expert advice on any that may appear suspicious.
Your mole removal journey with Northway Clinic
Before your mole removal, you’ll have a thorough consultation with a member of our team. During this consultation, we’ll assess the mole and its location, discuss your reasons for removal and explain the procedure in detail so you know exactly what to expect.
Next, we’ll schedule your mole removal appointment at a time that suits your schedule. We’ll give you all the information you need beforehand, so you feel fully prepared.
What happens during mole removal?
All moles are removed surgically at Northway Clinic.
In surgical mole removal, we’ll numb your mole and the surrounding area and use a scalpel to cut away the mole. Then it will be lifted away from the skin. The bleeding will be stopped by applying pressure or cauterising (medically burning) the area. If necessary, the area will be stitched back together.
We’ll send your mole off for histology to check that it’s benign (non-cancerous).
After your mole removal and recovery
Once your mole has been removed, we’ll cover the area with a dressing and provide you with the aftercare information you need to support healing.
It can take up to 10 days for your wound to heal, so following our aftercare advice carefully is important to minimise the risk of infection.
If you have any questions during your recovery, reach out to our friendly team and we’ll be happy to provide you with the additional support you may need.

Mole removal frequently asked questions (FAQs)
Can moles grow back after removal?
Moles can sometimes grow back after removal if the entire mole wasn’t completely removed during the procedure. However, this isn’t a common occurrence.
If a mole does grow back, it’s a good idea to have it checked by a dermatologist to rule out any abnormal changes.
Is mole removal painful?
Mole removal is typically not painful because a local anaesthetic is used to numb the area before the procedure to reduce any discomfort.
You may feel some mild pressure or a slight pinch during mole removal. After the procedure, you might experience mild soreness, itching, stinging or burning in the area for a few days.
Can a dermatologist tell if a mole is cancerous just by looking at it?
A dermatologist can often suspect a mole is cancerous based on appearance alone. However, the only definitive way to confirm whether a mole is cancerous is through a biopsy, where a sample (or the entire mole) is removed and examined under a microscope.
If you have a suspicious mole, it’s best to have it checked by a dermatologist as soon as possible.
Our mole removal prices
If your consultation is covered by private medical insurance, please contact us via phone or email.
At Northway Clinic, our mole removal prices depend on the number of moles being treated.
In addition to the removal cost, there is a mandatory histology fee. This is where a sample of your mole is sent for lab analysis to check for any abnormalities.
| Services & Procedures | Price |
|---|---|
| Full Body Mole Check | £250 |
| Mandatory Histology for Dermatological Procedures | £120-£250 |
| One Mole Removalup to 7mm diameter | £380 + £120 Histology |
| Two Moles Removalup to 7mm diameter | £580 + £160 Histology |
| Three Moles Removalup to 7mm diameter | £730 + £250 Histology |
The prices shown are guide prices and the exact cost will be confirmed in consultation where treatment options, suitability and expected results will be discussed. Procedures in the face/head areas typically cost more.
In some cases, minor surgery procedures can be offered on the same day, but most of the time patients are scheduled for another time.
If the examination reveals any abnormality, the doctor may suggest further tests (blood tests, x-rays, ultrasound etc). There is an additional cost for these tests on the Prices page.
