Moles are basically an overgrowth of skin cells. Depending on the number of pigment cells contained in it a mole may be dark in colour or the same colour as the surrounding skin. Previously cutting and stitching was the only technique available to remove moles and it often left a scar more visible than the original mole.
At the Ashley Centre we now have the latest technology for mole removal that avoids this.
The Ellman Surgitron shaves away a mole until it is smooth with the skin surface and then seals it with diathermy to avoid bleeding.
How does Mole Removal work? What can it do for you?
The Ellman Surgitron shaves away a mole in tiny slices till it is level with the skin surface and at the same time seals the blood vessels with heat so there is no bleeding.
Who can benefit from Mole Removal?
Patients of virtually any age and skin type can benefit from this procedure. Moles generally do not just grow above the surface of the skin, they also may have a deeper section. Shaving the mole flush with the skin surface is excellent and safe for benign moles. If there is any doubt, then the mole is excised in total and the excised skin is sent to pathology for assessment.
What happens in a typical treatment? How will you feel during treatment?
The treatment is quick and simple and you will feel no discomfort. The mole is marked with a pen under local anaesthetic and when the skin is numb the Ellman Surgitron shaves the mole down until it is flush with the rest of your skin. As it works the Ellman seals off the blood vessels at the same time causing no bleeding. No stitches are required.
How will you feel after treatment? What do you need to do after the treatment to ensure the best result?
You may notice your skin looking yellow after mole removal but this is normal and passes. Using ointment that we supply you with and a simple bandaid, and reapplying the dressing after showering will minimise any discomfort or pain and prevent infection.
Where the mole was removed will dry out in around 10 days but can take up to two weeks for large moles. Any redness will fade within a month or so, and a slightly paler spot is the most that will remain.
When will you see results?
The mole is removed immediately.
How many sessions are necessary?
Moles are normally removed in a single session but occasionally more than one session is required.
While this information is intended to give you a good overall picture of how mole removal may help you, your situation is unique. The best way to find out if this is the right answer for you is to come and see us. There are no sales pitches and we will explain all the options and help you to make the right decision.

How much does it cost?
We understand you are curious to know how much the procedure you are thinking of having might cost.
The truth is that with many procedures your cost can fall within a fairly wide range. While we do offer online consultations for liposuction we believe it is unethical to give a cost estimate without gaining a proper understanding of your needs.
Your body, your skin and your expectations are different to anybody else's. Some patients have been attracted by an initial quote only to find the final price was a lot higher. Sometimes these initial estimates do not cover such elements as theatre fees or the cost of an anaesthetist for example.
Our philosophy is simple. We want you to be fully informed, we want you to understand all your options and have one accurate price quoted once. Over more than 20 years of cosmetic practice we have found that this is what most of our clients want too.
