At Dermathetics in Farringdon, we offer same-day facial mole removal by our experienced medical practitioners, with a focus on minimising scarring. As an aesthetics clinic, we prioritise your cosmetic outcome, providing a free scar review appointment 6 weeks post-treatment, where any necessary scar treatments are offered at a discounted rate. Below, we answer your key questions about facial moles and our removal process.
Facial moles are common, typically harmless skin growths caused by melanocytes—pigment-producing cells—clustering together. They appear as small black, tan, dark brown, pink, or red spots, and can be flat, raised, smooth, or wrinkled, often oval or round in shape. While most moles are benign, monitoring them is essential for early detection of rare cancerous changes, such as malignant melanoma.
Moles form when melanocytes grow in clumps rather than spreading evenly. They often develop during childhood or adolescence, continuing to appear until around age 50. Some may fade or change over time. Factors influencing moles include:
● Genetics: A family history of moles increases your likelihood of developing them.
● Sun Exposure: UV rays can darken or prompt new mole formation.
● Age: Moles may evolve in appearance as skin ages.
Most moles are harmless, but consult a doctor if:
● A new mole appears in adulthood.
● An existing mole itches, bleeds, oozes, or becomes painful.
Use the ABCDE guide to spot potential issues:
● Asymmetry: Uneven shape.
● Border: Irregular or jagged edges.
● Colour: Uneven or changing hues.
● Diameter: Larger than 6mm (about ¼ inch).
● Evolving: Changes in size, shape, or height.
If you notice these signs, see your GP immediately or book a mole check with us at Dermathetics.
At Dermathetics, we provide same-day mole removal in Farringdon, performed by our medical practitioners:
1. Shave Excision: Ideal for protruding moles; minimally invasive, no stitches, may leave a pinkish mark.
2. Curette and Cautery: Uses a heated wire to burn away the mole; no stitches, may leave a pinkish scar.
3. Elliptical Surgical Excision: Cuts the mole out under local anaesthetic; stitches required (removed after 7 days), may leave a fine white line.
Your practitioner will examine your mole with a dermascope during consultation to determine the best technique, then remove it in the same visit.
● Expert Care: Our medical practitioners are highly trained in mole removal, adhering to CQC standards.
● Scar Minimisation: As an aesthetics-focused clinic, we prioritise cosmetic outcomes, offering multiple removal methods and a free 6-week scar review with discounted scar treatments if needed.
● Convenient Location: Our state-of-the-art Farringdon clinic is easily accessible by public transport or car.
● Aftercare Support: Pair your treatment with our exclusive Obagi SPF, available in-clinic and online, to protect healing skin.
We offer:
● Individual Mole Check: A practitioner examines your mole with a dermascope to assess its nature, without same-day removal.
● Same-Day Removal Consultation: Your mole is checked and removed in one visit under local anaesthetic.
No single sign confirms malignancy, but watch for:
● Irregular shape or borders.
● Bleeding or itching without injury.
● Growth or colour changes.
● New moles increasing in size.
