Moles are dark spots or irregularities found in the skin that come in various shapes and sizes. Moles can appear anywhere on the skin, from the nose and other facial areas, as well as arms and chest areas, in groups, or by themselves. They can be present at birth, or can begin to appear over time. Some moles go unnoticed, and some, like facial "beauty marks," are actually considered attractive.
However, moles are embarrassing or even uncomfortable to some people, and can even lead to dangerous health risks. Moles that irritate you when shaving or by rubbing against clothing are best removed.

FAQ’s relating to this procedure
Who is mole removal treatment for?
Men and women of all ages who are concerned about moles that protrude and are repeatedly irritated by activities such as shaving or rubbing on clothing. Also people who feel that removal of facial moles and cysts would enhance their appearance.
What does mole removal involve?
Our goal is to make your experience as easy and comfortable as possible. Moles and cysts are removed quickly and simply on an outpatient basis using a local anaesthetic. The majority of moles and cysts are removed by simple excision and, where only one or two exist, the procedure would normally take no more than twenty minutes.
What should I know about mole removals?
Before you decide to go ahead, we will offer you a thorough one-to-one medical consultation with a surgeon or doctor who specialises in mole and cyst removal procedures. During the consultation, you will be asked to point out exactly what you would like to see improved. This will help her or him to understand your expectations and determine whether they can realistically be achieved.
How are mole removals performed?
- For excision of the mole, the physician uses a scalpel to cut the mole and a border of good skin.
- Stitches are placed either deep within the skin, or on the upper surface, depending on the depth of the excision.
- Mole removal typically takes less than an hour to perform, depending on the amount of moles to be removed.
Are there any risks with mole removals?
Fortunately, significant complications from mole removals are infrequent. Every year, many people undergo successful mole removal surgery, experience no major problems and are delighted with the results. Anyone considering surgery, however, should be aware of both the benefits and the risks. Your surgeon will discuss these with you during your consultation.
What happens after mole removal surgery?
Mole or cyst removal normally requires little or no recuperation time. If you feel any discomfort, relieve it with prescribed pain medication. It's usual for a scab to develop; this will heal within a week or two. Also any redness that occurs will disappear within two to four weeks. Most scars that do appear slowly fade over time.
Can I expect aftercare?
At botonics, we take a special pride in our excellent levels of post-operative support and aftercare. To monitor your progress, we will invite you back to botonics at prescribed intervals for follow-up examinations with your surgeon or our nursing staff.
