Not every mole or lesion can be resolved with a check alone, sometimes it needs to come off, and when it does, how it’s removed matters just as much as the fact that it’s gone.

What’s included

We perform biopsies to sample tissue for diagnosis, and surgical excisions to remove concerning or confirmed lesions entirely. For more complex cases, our doctors also carry out advanced surgical reconstruction, including flap repairs and skin grafts, when a larger area needs to be closed.

Why doctor-led matters

Every procedure is performed with a focus on achieving clear margins, removing the full extent of the concern, while also considering the cosmetic outcome and minimising scarring where possible.

Samples are sent for pathology where appropriate, so you get a definitive answer, not just a removed mark.

What to expect

Your doctor will talk you through the procedure, what local anaesthetic involves, and what recovery looks like for your specific case before you go ahead. Recovery time varies depending on the location, size and type of procedure.

Who it’s for

If you’ve been told a mole or lesion needs to be removed, or you’ve noticed something changing that you’d rather have taken off and checked properly, this is the next step after a mole check or skin cancer screening.
