What Is Mole Removal?
Mole removal is a straightforward procedure that involves removing benign (non-cancerous) moles from the skin for cosmetic or medical reasons. At La Belle Forme in Glasgow, we offer professional mole assessments and removals using safe, effective methods such as surgical excision or shave removal.
Whether your mole is bothersome, catches on clothing, or you’re simply concerned about how it looks, our team is here to help. All moles are assessed prior to removal to ensure they are safe to treat.
We also work closely with dermatology specialists and can refer suspicious lesions for further testing or biopsy where needed.
What Happens During Surgery?
Your journey begins with a consultation where our clinician will assess your mole, discuss treatment options, and explain any potential risks. A mole that appears clinically concerning may be referred for dermatology or histological testing.
If the mole is safe to remove, we’ll perform one of the following:
- Shave removal: for raised moles not deeply embedded
- Surgical excision: for deeper moles or those that need to be removed with margins
A local anaesthetic is used to numb the area, and the procedure is usually quick and well tolerated. Sutures may be required depending on the technique.
Is Mole Removal Right for Me?
You may be a suitable candidate for mole removal if:
- You have a mole that is raised, pigmented, or bothersome
- You are unhappy with the cosmetic appearance of a mole
- You’ve noticed a change in shape, colour, or size (which may require dermatology assessment)
- You’re in good general health and prefer a quick, low-risk treatment
We always assess your skin and medical history before treatment to ensure suitability.
- Quick and minimally invasive procedure
- Can remove unwanted or cosmetically concerning lesions
- Safe, sterile, CQC and HIS-registered clinical environment
- Treatment and aftercare provided by qualified professionals
As with all medical procedures, there are risks to consider, including:
- Mild discomfort or local swelling
- Risk of scarring (usually minimal and fades over time)
- Infection (rare, and preventable with aftercare guidance)
- Pigment changes in the treated area
Any risks will be clearly explained during your consultation.

FAQ's
Yes, a small scar is possible, especially with excision, but our team uses fine techniques to minimise its appearance. Scars typically fade well over time.
The treatment area is numbed with local anaesthetic, so the procedure itself is not painful. You may feel some pressure or mild soreness after.
Most non-cancerous moles can be removed. If there is any concern about the mole’s appearance, it will be reviewed further or referred to a dermatologist before removal.
The mole is removed during the treatment, but final results—including healing of the skin—are typically visible in 2–4 weeks.
No, you can book directly with us. However, we will let you know if your mole needs specialist referral or biopsy before removal.
