Mole removal – your questions answered

Nakedhealth MEDISPA is registered with the Care Quality Commission and offers a minor surgery service including mole removal and mole assessment.

New moles account for about two-thirds of skin cancers so it is important to keep in touch with your own body and to seek expert advice if there is anything you are unsure about.

At nakedhealth the medical team are experienced in identifying suspicious moles and painlessly removing them under local anaesthetic. They are then sent to the laboratory for analysis. It is really important to get an early mole removal opinion so that action can be taken quickly if necessary.

Dr David Gately is a skilled surgeon with years of experience, dedicated to minimal scarring and a safe and comfortable procedure for the patient.

The Nakedhealth Minor Ops Room is CQC Registered and has the latest monitoring and surgical equipment to ensure a safe, quick delivery of care.

Be vigilant and if you’re worried about a new mole or one that might have changed in size, shape and overall colour or a cyst that has unusually increased in size, then contact nakedhealth Medispa on 020 8944 5454 to book a consultation.

The NHS advises looking out for the following changes in moles:

• A mole that’s changed colour or has more than 2 colours
• A mole with uneven borders
• A mole that’s bleeding, itching, crusting or raised
• A mole changes shape or looks uneven
• A mole starts itching, crusting, flaking or bleeding
• A mole gets larger or more raised from the skin

All minor surgical procedures are conducted in our state of the art minor ops room. David Gateley, Consultant Plastic Surgeon will deliver this innovative care in a safe environment within a governance framework as stipulated by NHS England and in line with the CQC registration. All surgical wounds will be managed by our professional medical team.

If necessary, the specimen can be sent for histological examination (a specialist in microscopic identification of moles) and the appropriate referral made through Mr Gateley’s network of medical specialists.

The new Minor Ops Room offers efficient, safe minor surgery of the highest quality, using the most up-to-date equipment.
