Quick answer
How are moles and warts removed?
Small, benign-looking moles and seborrheic keratoses are usually removed with a CO2 laser, which vaporises the lesion layer by layer with precise control. Viral warts are treated with laser or cryotherapy, sometimes over several sessions because the virus can persist.
Every lesion is checked by a doctor first; anything with irregular shape, colour or recent change is referred for biopsy rather than lasered. Raised skin tags have their own simple method — see skin tag removal.

Your visit
How Mole removal works at Umi
Every visit is doctor-led and explained in English, from the first skin check to aftercare.
- Doctor examination
Each mole or wart is examined, often with dermoscopy, to check it looks benign.
- Numbing
Numbing cream or a tiny local anaesthetic injection.
- Laser removal
The CO2 laser removes the lesion precisely; warts may also be frozen.
- Wound care
Apply the provided ointment and a hydrocolloid patch; sunscreen for months to avoid marks.
Before & after
How laser removal clears the spot
The laser removes the lesion layer by layer, then new skin heals over a small, shallow wound.
A small scab or patch covers the spot.
Scab falls off; skin is pink.
Pinkness fades with sun protection.

FAQ
Mole removal questions
Will it leave a scar?
Small, shallow removals usually heal with little or no visible mark, though deeper moles can leave a small dent or light spot.
Can a mole come back?
Some deeper moles can partly regrow, and a second session may be needed.
Do you check if a mole is cancerous?
The doctor examines every lesion first. Suspicious moles are not lasered but referred for biopsy.
Can I remove moles on holiday?
Yes, but plan for 7–10 days of patch care and avoid sun and swimming on the area.
Do foreigners pay more?
No. International patients pay the same price as local patients at Umi Clinic.
