A mole that catches on your clothes or your razor, or one you would simply rather not have. Dr Braham Ouali removes it under local anaesthetic in 10 to 30 minutes, and it can be sent for laboratory analysis if it needs checking.
Leave your details and the clinic will call you to arrange a free video consultation. He will look at the mole, recommend the right way to remove it and give you your price.

Is this you?
Moles are very common and usually harmless, with most adults having between 10 and 40. Genetics largely decide how many you have, although sun exposure, especially excessive UV, can increase the number of moles and affect how they look. People usually come to us for one of these reasons.
The usual method is shave removal: the area is numbed, the raised mole is shaved off level with the skin with a scalpel, and the site is cauterised to stop bleeding. Dr Ouali will recommend the right method for your mole at consultation, based on its size, position and appearance.
Patients
“I had three moles removed from my back by Dr Ouali, it was a good painless experience and I’m happy with the result as the scars faded away nicely.”
“Many thanks for the good job you have done. I also appreciated the relaxed manner which put me at ease.”
“I received upper eyelid surgery with Dr Braham Ouali 2 weeks ago and cannot praise the whole experience enough… I would highly recommend him to anyone considering cosmetic or skin surgery.”
Cost
The cost of mole removal varies depending on the size and location of the mole. The package price starts from £295, which includes consultation and surgery, all as a one stop process. The price you are quoted at consultation is the price you pay.
What happens
It starts with a free video call with the surgeon who will remove the mole.
A video call with Dr Ouali. He looks at the mole, explains which method he would use and why, covers the risks, and gives you your price.
Nothing is booked on the call. If you go ahead, a 50% deposit holds your date, or you can pay in full. Face-to-face beforehand can be arranged, and is charged separately.
10 to 30 minutes under local anaesthetic. The mole is shaved off level with the skin and the site is cauterised. You go home shortly afterwards.
A dark scab forms and usually falls off within 7 to 10 days. A small pink mark is left at first, which usually fades as the skin settles.
The part most adverts leave out
However minor the procedure, complications are possible, and you should understand them before you go ahead. Dr Ouali will go through them with you at your consultation.
Expect mild tenderness for a few days. Keep the wound covered for the first 24 to 48 hours and wait at least 48 hours before getting it wet. Showering is typically safe after two days, but avoid soaking in baths, pools or hot tubs until fully healed, usually a few weeks. Avoid sun exposure, as UV rays can darken the scar. The recognised risks are:
Whoever you choose, these are worth asking:
Questions
Yes. The video consultation is with Dr Ouali himself, it is free, and there is no obligation. If you would rather be seen in person before you decide, a face-to-face appointment can be arranged, and that one is charged separately.
Usually only if there is a medical reason, such as a suspicion of skin cancer, or if the mole is causing real problems. Removal for cosmetic reasons is not normally covered.
Dr Ouali assesses the mole at your consultation and recommends a method based on its size, position, appearance and any medical concerns.
A mole fully cut out with a margin of healthy skin should not grow back. Shave removal flattens the mole rather than removing all of it, so it can return. Full excision is preferred where there is a cancer concern. Shave removal is often chosen for cosmetic reasons, accepting that small risk.
Look at them regularly for changes in size, shape, colour or texture. Watch for more than one colour, rough or irregular edges, and any redness, itching, bleeding, inflammation or crusting. A change does not always mean melanoma, but it should be checked.
We recommend reviewing your moles monthly. People at higher risk of skin cancer, such as those with many moles, fair skin or a history of skin cancer, may need checking more often. If you notice a change in between, get it looked at promptly.
You pay a 50% deposit to hold your date, or the full amount if you would rather settle it in one go. There is no in-house finance.
