Skin Tag and Mole Removal Treatment

Skin Tags vs. Moles

Skin tags and moles are both common skin growths, but they have distinct characteristics and differences.

Skin Tags:

• Skin tags are small, soft, and typically flesh-coloured growths that protrude from the skin.
• They often appear in areas where skin rubs against skin or clothing, such as the neck and underarms.
• Skin tags are non-cancerous and are usually painless, although they may occasionally become irritated or inflamed.
• They are typically not present at birth but develop over time.

Moles:

• Moles are pigmented growths that can vary in colour, size, and shape. They are usually brown or black
• Moles can appear anywhere on the body and are usually round or oval in shape.
• Some moles are present at birth, while others develop later in life because of sun exposure and genetics.
• While most moles are benign (non-cancerous), you should check your moles for changes in size, shape, colour, or hair growing out of it as certain changes can indicate skin cancer (melanoma).

Why You Need This Procedure & How We Can Help

• Removal using exceptional electrolysis and surgical methods 
• Suitable for all skin types – both men and women
• Free bespoke skincare consultation from skilled aestheticians

Skin tags and moles on the face and body are extremely commonplace. The majority of moles are benign (i.e. medically harmless and non-cancerous) and cause no lasting harm. 

However, some may become a problem when they are itchy, large or raised. Over time, irritation occurs with moles and skin tags as they rub or catch onto clothing or change shape, size, and colour.

Moles can also impact your everyday grooming tasks, like shaving or applying make-up, gradually making it difficult over time.

If you’re thinking of having your skin tags or moles removed for aesthetic or practical reasons, then our bespoke treatment could be the answer. Pave your way to smooth and radiant skin.

The Procedure

At our London clinic, skin tag and mole removals are very simple procedures.

The area around the unwanted skin tag or mole is thoroughly cleansed and made clinically sterile before a local anaesthetic injection is administered around the mole (this is for numbing the area).

When the area becomes completely numb, the surgeon gently removes the mole or skin tag using the appropriate surgical or electro-cautery instrument depending on their size. We will apply a sterile dressing before you are ready to leave the clinic.

With every procedure, we make sure to minimise any scarring that occurs from the removal. Wimpole Aesthetics are specialists in skin and mole analysis and in the removal of moles and skin tags. We take everything into consideration when delivering your treatment, including any health and medical concerns.

What happens after?

Discomfort after the procedure is rare because the skin has a natural ability to heal rapidly. You may experience some initial redness, swelling, and a small scar, but these are common side effects that should not raise any alarm. 

If necessary, you will receive post-procedure medication and have a scheduled follow-up appointment for further care.

How long do the results last? 

The results are permanent. When we completely remove a mole, it is typically not expected to grow back in the same location. However, some mole cells may remain behind or new mole cells may develop in the same area, resulting in a small chance of recurrence.

How Much Does The Procedure Cost?
