Only one session is required for mole removal.
You can go back to normal activities the same day. Though we recommend you avoid excessive heat for about two weeks after (e.g. sunbathing, sunbeds, saunas). There may be some bruising in the area so you may want to consider this if you are planning trips away or special days.
If the surgeon deems it appropriate, we will send the mole for histology (testing) following a discussion with you.
No, the only way to remove a mole is by surgery.
All of our surgeons are registered with the General Medical Council (GMC) and all relevant specialist bodies.
