If you’re considering mole removal in Totnes, Plymouth or Exeter, choosing an experienced practitioner is important for both cosmetic results and your peace of mind. Whether a mole catches on clothing, affects your confidence, or has changed in appearance, professional assessment from your GP or dermatologist is the first step. Once the mole is deemed safe for cosmetic removal, that’s where we come in.
At Natural Body Sculpt, we provide safe and professional skin mole removal for clients across Totnes, Plymouth and Exeter. Our focus is on delivering excellent cosmetic outcomes.
What Is a Skin Mole?
A skin mole, also called a melanocytic naevus, is a common growth made up of pigment-producing cells. Most people have between 10 and 40 moles, and many develop during childhood and early adulthood.
Moles can vary in:
- Size
- Colour
- Shape
- Texture
- Whether they are flat or raised
Most moles are harmless, but it’s important to monitor them for any changes.
Why Do People Choose Mole Removal?
There are many reasons people decide to have a mole removed.
Cosmetic Reasons
Many clients simply want a mole removed because they dislike its appearance, particularly if it is on the:
- Face
- Neck
- Chest
- Arms
- Legs
Professional removal can help improve confidence while aiming to minimise scarring.
Comfort
Raised moles can become irritated by:
- Clothing
- Jewellery
- Shaving
- Sports equipment
- Hair brushing
Removing an irritating mole can prevent ongoing discomfort.
Changes in a Mole
If you’ve noticed a mole changing in size, shape, colour, or texture, or if it has started bleeding, itching, or crusting, it should be assessed promptly by a GP or dermatologist before considering cosmetic removal.
Signs That a Mole Should Be Checked
Use the ABCDE guide:
- A – Asymmetry: One half doesn’t match the other.
- B – Border: Edges are uneven or blurred.
- C – Colour: Multiple colours or uneven pigmentation.
- D – Diameter: Larger than around 6 mm or continuing to grow.
- E – Evolving: Any recent change in appearance or symptoms.
Any of these signs should be assessed by a medical professional.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is mole removal painful?
Procedures are carried out using numbing cream, so discomfort during treatment is usually minimal.
Will there be a scar?
Any procedure that removes skin can leave a scar. However, careful technique and following aftercare advice can help achieve the best possible cosmetic outcome.
Can all moles be removed?
Many benign moles can be removed. However, if a mole shows suspicious features, further medical assessment may be recommended before any cosmetic treatment.
How long does healing take?
Healing times vary depending on the removal method, the size of the mole, and its location, but most areas heal over several weeks.

Important Medical Advice
At our clinic, we use plasma pen treatment to remove suitable benign skin moles for cosmetic purposes. Our practitioners are not medically qualified to diagnose or assess moles for skin cancer or other medical conditions. If you have any concerns about a mole, or if it has changed in size, shape, colour, or texture, or has become itchy, painful, crusted, or started to bleed, we strongly recommend that you have it assessed by your GP or a dermatologist before booking treatment. Once a healthcare professional has confirmed that the mole is suitable for cosmetic removal, we will be happy to discuss whether plasma pen treatment is an appropriate option for you.
