Mole Removal At A Glance
Everything you need to know before your consultation
What Is CO2 Laser Mole Removal?
When you have a mole you would rather not see, CO2 laser mole removal offers a simple, scalpel-free solution. Moles form when pigment cells cluster together in the skin. They are usually harmless, but a raised or prominent mole can feel bothersome or rub against clothing and jewellery.
We use the DEKA Smartxide Touch, a CO2 laser trusted in medical and aesthetic clinics across more than 120 countries. The laser targets the mole and breaks it down from the inside through a process called thermolysis. As it works, it also encourages your skin to make fresh collagen, which supports faster healing and smoother, renewed skin.
The treatment is non-surgical and comfortable. Once the mole is gone, a small scab forms and heals over the following week or two, revealing clear skin underneath.
How Do We Perform Mole Removal?
Dr Tanov, or a qualified member of his experienced clinical team, follows a careful, precise method. First, we numb the area with a very small lidocaine injection, so you stay comfortable throughout. The CO2 laser then targets the mole only, leaving the healthy skin around it untouched. There is no bleeding, which keeps the risk of infection low. Afterwards, we apply antibiotic ointment and a plaster. From the second day, letting a little air reach the area helps it heal.

Frequently Asked Questions
No. We numb the area with a local anaesthetic first, so you feel only a small pinch from the injection and no pain during the laser removal.
You can return to your day straightaway. A small scab forms and usually heals within about a week, and any pinkness settles over a few weeks.
Absolutely. The laser vaporisation process is incredibly swift, meaning our medical professionals can easily and safely remove several unwanted moles during a single clinic visit.
The treatment is remarkably quick and convenient. Depending on the size and number of moles being addressed, the actual laser procedure usually takes just 15 to 30 minutes.
We advise keeping the treated area completely clean and free of make-up until the small scab has naturally fallen off. This helps the skin heal perfectly and significantly minimises any risk of infection.
In addition to moles, our Doctor can also remove small cysts, fibromas, keratoses, xanthelasma, DPN, warts, sun damage, verrucae, and skin tags.
