If you have a mole that is causing discomfort, changing in appearance, or simply affecting your confidence, SW11 Medical Clinic offers professional mole removal in Clapham. Under the expert care of Dr Grzelewski, we provide safe, effective treatments tailored to your specific needs, with laser removal starting from just £400.
Understanding Mole Removal
Moles are common skin growths that are usually harmless. However, if a mole changes in size, shape, or colour, or if it bleeds or itches, it should be evaluated by a professional. The ABCDE rule is a helpful guide: look for Asymmetry, Border irregularity, Colour variation, Diameter over 6mm, and Evolution (any change over time). We also offer removal for cosmetic reasons or if a mole is prone to irritation from clothing.
At our clinic, we offer both surgical and laser removal options, depending on the nature of the mole. If you require other minor procedures, you can learn more on our Minor Surgery Overview page.
The Procedure and Recovery
Your journey begins with a comprehensive consultation (£180) or a consultation with dermatoscopic examination (£220) to carefully assess the mole using advanced imaging. If surgical removal is recommended, the area will be numbed with a local anaesthetic. The mole is then carefully excised with a margin of healthy tissue, and the wound is closed with fine sutures to minimise scarring.
Alternatively, for suitable lesions, we offer laser removal, which is quick and often leaves minimal scarring. Recovery is generally fast — most patients return to normal activities the next day. We provide full aftercare instructions to ensure the best aesthetic outcome.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will mole removal leave a scar?
Any surgical excision will leave a small scar, but Dr Grzelewski uses precise techniques to ensure it is as minimal and aesthetically pleasing as possible. Laser removal typically results in even less scarring.
Is it necessary to test the removed mole?
Yes, we strongly recommend histopathological examination (£130) for surgically removed moles to confirm they are benign and ensure your complete safety.
How long does the procedure take?
The procedure itself usually takes between 20 to 30 minutes, and you can go home immediately afterwards. No hospital stay is required.
