Had a wonderful experience with Dr Ken and his staff with my forehead lipoma removal. Thorough in planning before the procedure and so far, l've had a great experience with aftercare. When I had any questions there was always someone available to answer them.
Special thanks to Dr Costantinos who removed 7 moles with precision and calm. To Sophia, who removed the stiches with serenity. Dr Kwn for his brief consultation and to Asifa for her brilliant management and the recepist for her beautiful omnipresent smile.
Skilful, honest people are what you wish when undergoing private surgery.
The whole experience was smooth and quick. The clinic pristine and sophisticated. Definitely recommended 👌

Understanding Moles: Definition, Types, and Development
Moles (medically known as naevi) are common skin growths that develop when pigment-producing cells called melanocytes cluster together on the skin. These natural skin features vary widely in appearance—from flat to raised, smooth to rough, and range in colour from pink to dark brown or black. Most people have between 10-40 moles on their bodies by adulthood.
At Revitalise London, our GMC registered doctors provide expert assessment and information about moles and clearing options. Our CQC-regulated Harley Street clinic delivers comprehensive care with a focus on both skin health and aesthetic considerations.
Types of Moles: Understanding the Different Varieties
Medical dermatology recognises several distinct types of moles:
- Common Moles (Acquired Naevi): Develop during childhood/early adulthood, small (5-6mm), round, well-defined borders, consistent pink to dark brown colour.
- Congenital Naevi: Present at birth or within first year. Vary in size; larger ones benefit from regular monitoring.
- Dysplastic Naevi (Atypical Moles): Larger (>6mm), irregular borders, variable colouration (tan/brown/black/pink). Recommend regular professional evaluation.
- Spitz Naevi: Typically pink, raised growths, most common in children/adolescents. Warrant careful assessment.
Our GMC registered doctors provide comprehensive evaluations for accurate identification.
The Science Behind Moles: How and Why They Develop
Understanding how moles form helps monitor skin health:
Mole Formation:
Moles form when melanocytes (pigment cells) grow in clusters instead of spreading evenly, producing the mole’s pigment.
Influencing Factors:
- Genetic Predisposition: Family history impacts mole number and appearance.
- Sun Exposure: UV radiation can increase mole numbers and potentially alter appearance.
- Hormonal Changes: Puberty, pregnancy, menopause can influence development.
- Age: Most moles develop in childhood/early adulthood; new moles slow after age 30.
Moles follow a natural progression:
- Development: Mostly appear in first two decades.
- Maturation: May become more raised and lighter over time.
- Stabilisation: Most maintain consistent appearance in adulthood.
- Fading: Some may fade or disappear in older age.
Our doctors provide personalised information on mole development.
Professional Mole Assessment: What to Expect
Our comprehensive assessments by GMC registered doctors include:
A thorough discussion and examination covering:
- Detailed medical history (family history of skin conditions).
- Discussion of any changes noticed in moles.
- Comprehensive full-body skin examination.
- Dermoscopic evaluation of moles.
- Documentation of mole characteristics and locations.
- Photographic mapping if appropriate (for tracking changes).
Our doctors utilise specialised techniques:
- Visual Examination: Identifying subtle features.
- Dermoscopy: Magnified, polarised light view of subsurface structures for detailed diagnosis.
- Digital Mole Mapping: Tracking numerous or atypical moles over time with high-resolution photos.
- Comparative Assessment: Identifying “ugly duckling” moles that stand out.
Based on your assessment, we may recommend:
- Regular self-monitoring using ABCDE criteria.
- Scheduled professional follow-up checks (e.g., annually).
- Clearing of concerning moles for histological analysis.
- Referral for specialised care if needed.
We prioritise patient education for effective self-monitoring.
Frequently Asked Questions About Moles and Their Management
Answers to common queries about moles.
Most adults have 10-40 moles. The number varies greatly and is less important than monitoring individual moles for changes using the ABCDE rule.
Start regular self-monitoring in early adulthood. Parents should monitor children’s moles, especially large or unusual congenital ones. Continue monitoring throughout life.
Monthly self-examination is recommended. Professional skin checks are typically advised annually, or more frequently if you have risk factors (e.g., many moles, atypical moles, family history). Follow your doctor’s advice.
Yes, UV radiation can increase the number of moles and potentially cause changes in existing ones, increasing risk. Consistent sun protection is important for skin health and mole management.
Yes, genetics play a significant role in the number, type, and distribution of moles. Family members often share similar mole patterns.
Hormonal changes during pregnancy can sometimes cause existing moles to darken or slightly enlarge. While usually benign, any significant or rapid changes should always be evaluated by a doctor.
