Overview

What is Mole and Skin Tag Removal?

Mole and skin tag removal is a simple and effective cosmetic procedure to eliminate unwanted or problematic skin growth. Moles are pigmented spots on the skin, while skin tags are small, soft growths often found on areas prone to friction, such as the neck, underarms, or groin.

This procedure is commonly performed for aesthetic reasons or to prevent irritation and discomfort caused by skin tags. If the mole shows signs of irregularity, mole removal may also be recommended for medical reasons.

While moles and skin tags are usually harmless, they can:

  • Affect your confidence if located on visible areas.
  • Cause discomfort when rubbed against clothing or jewellery.
  • Require medical evaluation if they change in size, shape, or colour.

Removal provides a safe and permanent solution, leaving the skin smoother and more comfortable.

How Mole and Skin Tag Removal Works

This service involves removing moles, skin tags, or other benign skin lesions for cosmetic or functional reasons. Our specialists use advanced techniques to minimise scarring and ensure the best possible results.

LivingCare offers several techniques for mole and skin tag removal, depending on the size and type of growth:

  • Excision: The mole or skin tag is carefully cut away with a scalpel.
  • Cryotherapy: Liquid nitrogen is used to freeze and remove the growth.
  • Electrocautery: A heated device burns off the skin tag or mole.

These procedures are performed under local anaesthesia, ensuring a quick and pain-free experience.

What to Expect from Mole and Skin Tag Removal

Before: Our dermatology team will assess the lesion to confirm it is benign and discuss the removal process.

During: Depending on the size and location, the procedure can involve excision, cryotherapy (freezing) or electrocautery (heat). The process is generally short, with most cases taking just 15 to 30 minutes. Local anaesthesia ensures minimal discomfort.

After: Healing typically takes 1-2 weeks. We provide proper aftercare to reduce the risk of infection or scarring.

Risks and Complications of Mole and Skin Tag Removal

While rare, possible risks include:

  • Minor scarring at the treatment site.
  • Temporary redness or irritation.
  • Rarely, infection occurs if aftercare instructions aren’t followed.

Our experienced team is there with you every step of the way for a safe, comfortable experience.

How to Recover from Mole and Skin Tag Removal

Keep the area clean and dry, and avoid picking at scabs as the skin heals. Apply an antibacterial ointment if recommended.
