Non-invasive cryotherapy for benign raised moles. No scalpel, no stitches, minimal discomfort — from just £95.
Moles — medically known as benign pigmented naevi — are extremely common growths on the skin. They form when pigment-producing cells (melanocytes) grow in clusters rather than spreading evenly across the skin surface.
Moles can be flat or raised, smooth or slightly rough, and range in colour from flesh-toned to dark brown or almost black. They may appear anywhere on the body and often develop during childhood or adolescence, though new moles can appear at any age.
While most moles are completely harmless, many people seek removal for cosmetic reasons — particularly when a mole is prominent on the face, neck or other visible areas, or when it catches on clothing or jewellery and causes irritation.
Because mole removal is considered cosmetic, it is generally not available on the NHS. Private cryotherapy offers a safe, quick and effective alternative for suitable benign moles.
We only treat moles that have been assessed as benign. If you have a changing mole, we recommend seeing your GP first.
We use Nitrous Oxide (N₂O) cryotherapy to treat suitable benign moles quickly and with minimal discomfort. A precision pen-like device delivers a controlled jet of freezing gas directly onto the mole for just a few seconds.
The extreme cold destroys the targeted tissue. Over the following days the treated area typically forms a scab, and the mole falls off naturally within 1–3 weeks depending on its size and depth. The surrounding skin is left intact and healthy.
Depending on the depth and size of the mole, 1–3 sessions may be needed. Smaller, more superficial moles often require just one treatment, while deeper or larger moles may benefit from a follow-up session after 3–4 weeks to allow full healing between treatments.
We do not treat moles that require dermatoscopy, biopsy or surgical excision. If during your consultation we identify any features that warrant further investigation, we will refer you to your GP or a dermatologist. This careful approach ensures your safety is always the priority.
A free consultation is always carried out first to assess your mole and confirm that cryotherapy is the right approach. We explain the process clearly so you know exactly what to expect before, during and after treatment.
Real results from benign mole removal using cryotherapy. Each image shows the condition before treatment alongside the healed outcome.
Most clients describe a brief cold sensation or slight sting that lasts only a few seconds. The treatment is generally well tolerated without anaesthetic, and any discomfort fades almost immediately.
Most benign moles respond well in 1–3 sessions depending on their depth and size. Smaller, more superficial moles often need just one treatment, while deeper or larger moles may require a follow-up session after 3–4 weeks.
In most cases, the treated mole does not return. However, some deeper moles may require more than one session to fully resolve. New moles can develop naturally over time, but these are unrelated to the treated area.
Cryotherapy is a non-invasive treatment, so scarring is minimal compared to surgical excision. Most clients see smooth, even skin after healing. There may be a slight change in skin pigmentation at the treatment site which typically fades over time.
You should see your GP if a mole is changing in size, shape or colour, has an irregular or ragged border, is multicoloured, is itching or bleeding, or has appeared recently and looks different from your other moles. These features may require dermatoscopy or biopsy, which we do not perform. We always recommend a GP check for any mole you are uncertain about before seeking cosmetic treatment.
No. We only treat moles that have been assessed as benign and non-suspicious. Flat moles, moles with irregular features, or any mole requiring further investigation are not suitable for cosmetic cryotherapy. During your free consultation, we will assess your mole and advise you honestly on whether treatment is appropriate.
The cryotherapy application itself takes just a few seconds per mole. Including the consultation and aftercare advice, most appointments last around 15–20 minutes.
Benign mole removal starts from £95 per session. The initial consultation is always free and carries no obligation. After assessing your mole we will provide an exact quote before any treatment begins.
