Whether a mole bothers you cosmetically or you simply want peace of mind, you will be seen by plastic surgeon who specialises in skin cancer with same-day removal options available.
I cannot fault the service at Canova Medical. I phoned them in the morning to inquire about a mole removal and they managed to get me in and have the procedure done by the end of the day. The surgeon was fantastic—very helpful and explained every step of the process clearly before starting. A seamless, stress-free experience from start to finish.Posted on Google

Many clinics see you after weeks and then send you elsewhere to be treated. We run consultation and procedure on one pathway wherever it's clinically appropriate because our clinics are surgeon-staffed and our procedure rooms are on site.
If your surgeon recommends removal and you're happy to proceed, it's a completed in a single visit, under local anaesthetic.
Your surgeon examines the mole, confirms the treatment plan and gives a fixed quotation.
Proceed, book for later or simply take a specialist opinion. It's your choice.
We are one of the few mole removal specialists in the country
We explain how to care for the area and what to expect, with complimentary aftercare available if needed
Moles (melanocytic naevi) are clusters of pigment cells. Most are completely harmless and are removed for comfort or appearance, although some moles should be assessed for atypical changes.
Most adults have 10 to 40 moles. Consider removal if a mole catches or rubs, bleeds, or simply irritates you due to its location or for cosmetic reasons.
More importantly, have a mole checked if it shows any of the ABCDE warning signs; Asymmetry, an irregular Border, two or more Colours, a Diameter over 6mm or it's changing. Our surgeons assess under dermoscopy and send anything uncertain for histology.
Each mole is examined under magnification before any decision. The same approach used in skin-cancer assessment.
The removed mole can be analysed by a pathologist to confirm it's benign for documented reassurance.
Fine sutures along natural skin lines for the most discreet possible scar.
Your surgeon recommends the right method based on the mole's type, size and site or whether histology is needed.
A precise, surface-level removal of a raised mole, often needing no stitches. Quick, with a flat result and the option to send the sample for analysis.
The mole is fully excised and the wound closed with fine sutures. Often the right choice when complete removal and histology matter most.
Your consultation is with the surgeon who would perform your procedure. If you proceed with us, you don't pay for it twice and the price you're quoted is the price you pay, confirmed in writing with no hidden extra.
Your surgeon recommends removal, you're happy to go ahead and it's done in the same visit.
You'd rather think it over or pick a date that suits you. Your consultation fee follows you.
You want a specialist opinion with no obligation. You'll leave with a diagnosis and a fixed quotation.
Precise surface-level removal, often with no stitches.
Full excision with fine sutures.
Fixed quotation at consultation. Final fees depend on the size, number, site and complexity of the mole and are confirmed in writing before any treatment.
Because the work is done by GMC-registered surgeons, we back it:
Any mole with uncertain features is sent to an accredited lab, and your result is explained to you personally, often by the same surgeon who carried out the removal.
Every procedure is performed by a GMC-registered surgeon, with your price fixed in writing before treatment with no upselling.
Only the initial local anaesthetic injection stings briefly. After that the area is numb; any tenderness afterwards is mild and managed with simple pain relief like paracetamol.
Your price is confirmed in writing at your consultation and depends on the size, number and type of mole. A shave removal is our most common option with surgical excision for larger or deeper moles. Both with histology options available. A dedicated skin or mole check is also available for peace of mind.
Histology isn't always mandatory for clearly benign cosmetic removals, but we often recommend it for complete peace of mind and it's standard for anything with uncertain features.
Like our inspiration Antonio Canova, we keep artistry and beauty in mind with our work and shall keep you informed each step of the way. Any procedure that removes skin tissue may leave a mark. Because removal is performed by plastic-surgery-trained doctors, it's planned for the most discreet result; shave removal often leaves only a faint flat mark.
When removed correctly and completely, the specific mole should not return. New moles can develop elsewhere over time, which is normal.
If a mole is new, changing, asymmetric, multi-coloured, larger than 6mm, itching or bleeding, book a check first. Our surgeons assess it under dermoscopy and advise the right step. See also our skin cancer page.
No referral is needed. You can book directly at our London, Wilmslow or Liverpool clinics, typically within days.
Typically seen within days across our London, Wilmslow and Liverpool clinics — no GP referral needed.
