Our mole and cyst removal in Glasgow can restore both your skin’s appearance and your peace of mind. Moles and cysts not only compromise the complexion and interfere with healthy skin texture but they may also end up causing discomfort over time. Irregular moles should always be evaluated by a dermatologist, as they can sometimes be cancerous or precancerous. At Elanic Medical, we prioritise your care through personalised attention, easy-to-schedule appointments, and a commitment to housing best-in-class technology and diagnostic equipment.

What is mole removal?

When melanocytes (the cells that produce melanin) form clusters, it can appear as a brown growth, called a mole. While a well-placed mole can sometimes make you look more interesting, moles can also be distracting, taking focus away from a healthy complexion or compromising the skin’s texture. Moles may also signal early signs of skin cancer. The three main mole types are:

Congenital moles – These are moles that have always existed since birth.
Acquired moles – These are moles that may have developed over time.
Atypical moles – These are irregular moles that have the potential to be cancerous.

A board-certified healthcare expert can examine your mole and determine whether it should be removed. The removal process is a simple surgery during which the mole is excised from the skin. A topical anaesthetic is used to ensure your comfort during the process.

What is cyst removal?

Cysts are small growths under the skin that can get bigger over time. They often look inflamed or red. Cysts can cause discomfort and sensitivity for some patients. The two main types of cysts are:

Epidermoid cysts – These occur as a byproduct of protein (keratin) build-up.
Sebaceous cysts – These are cysts that affect sebaceous glands (oil-producing glands).

While most cysts are non-cancerous, it is still important to have them evaluated by a board-certified dermatologist. If cyst removal turns out to be the right option, one of our highly skilled providers will apply a local anaesthetic to the skin and then excise or drain the growth, taking care to preserve the surrounding healthy skin tissue.

Who is a good candidate for mole or cyst removal?

Patients who are unhappy with moles or cysts for aesthetic reasons can pursue removal to enjoy a clearer complexion and smoother skin. Those who are concerned about cancerous or precancerous lesions can also benefit from treatment. Our caring, experienced team at Elanic Medical will set you at ease and help you take the next step toward optimal health and peace of mind.

Mole removal with Mohs surgery

In the event that a mole is cancerous, a process called Mohs surgery can be employed to remove the growth while preserving as much healthy skin tissue as possible. Since the 1930s, Mohs surgery has been the primary choice for medical practitioners when it comes to removing cancerous moles. After the mole is removed, a plastic surgeon can perform Mohs reconstruction to ensure the treated area appears seamless and aesthetically pleasing.

How many sessions are required for mole and cyst removal?

Most patients only require one appointment for mole or cyst removal. However, each case is unique, and sometimes multiple sessions are needed. Our experienced providers will create your unique treatment plan after examining your mole or cyst and determining the best course of action.

What can I expect after treatment?

Mild swelling, redness, or tenderness may occur after mole or cyst removal. These are normal symptoms that are temporary and will fade within a matter of days. Most patients can resume their normal activities immediately after their appointment. The results of our mole and cyst removal in Glasgow are considered permanent.
