Hello Interloper!

Mole removal surgery and laser mole removal are effective safe procedures to do with modern techniques and equipment. All procedures will leave a small scar but this is in most cases far more cosmetically acceptable than the original mole.
Even for harmless moles being removed for cosmetic reasons, I would caution patients not to risk DIY home removal solutions however tempting they may appear to be.
Good practitioners will always send even the most apparently innocent-looking mole away for testing to rule out any possibility of cancerous cells as skin cancer caught early has the best chances for the patient.
The doctors’ experience and training are the most important factors to look for when choosing the right person to remove your mole rather than glossy machines or cheap pricing as the wrong choice initially can lead to permanent disfigurement that is rarely easy to correct even with modern lasers and medicines.
Please see your family doctor / GP or a skin specialist regarding any existing or new moles that are changing in size shape and or colour (getting darker in particular) or even if you have concerns from a cosmetic point of view just so as to get the correct advice to avoid potential scarring or missing a skin cancer.
