We offer safe, non-invasive mole removal treatments in Birmingham, using cryotherapy—a method that’s quick, effective, and doesn’t involve cutting or stitches.

If you have got a mole you are worried about or simply want it gone for cosmetic reasons, we are here to talk you through your options and help you feel confident in your skin again.
Benign moles are incredibly common, and most people will have at least a few throughout their lives. But why do they appear?
Moles form when clusters of pigment cells (called melanocytes) group together in the skin. Usually, these cells are spread evenly, giving our skin its natural tone. But when they bunch up, they create a mole.
Moles can be present from birth or develop over time—especially during childhood and teenage years. Sun exposure, genetics, and hormonal changes (like pregnancy or puberty) can also play a role.
The good news? Most moles are completely harmless. But if a mole changes in size, shape, or colour, it’s always best to get it checked out—just to be on the safe side.
Can You Permanently Remove Moles?
Yes, benign moles can be permanently removed—especially when using methods like cryotherapy.
At Cryosonic, we use controlled freezing to destroy the mole’s cells. Once treated, the mole naturally falls off over time as the skin heals.
Can a Benign Mole Become Malignant?
While most benign moles stay harmless, there is a small chance that some can change over time and become cancerous. This is why it's so important to keep an eye on your moles.
If a mole suddenly changes shape, becomes uneven, changes colour, starts bleeding, itching, or growing rapidly—it’s a good idea to get it checked by a professional. These signs don’t always mean something serious, but it’s always better to be safe.
Cryotherapy has become one of the most popular choices for benign mole removal, and it’s easy to see why. At Cryosonic, we use this modern technique because it’s quick, gentle, and highly effective.
Instead of cutting into the skin, cryotherapy involves applying extreme cold (usually liquid nitrogen) directly to the mole. This freezes the cells, which then die off and fall away naturally over time.
The treatment is:
Minimally invasive
Usually requires no stitches
Low risk of scarring
Quick to perform with minimal downtime
Many of our Birmingham clients choose cryotherapy because it allows them to return to their normal routine almost straight away. Plus, the results are clean, and the skin typically heals beautifully with the right aftercare.
Benign moles are non-cancerous and, in most cases, completely harmless. They don’t pose health risks unless they start to change in unusual ways.
However, there are still a few reasons people choose to have them removed:
So while benign moles don’t usually cause medical issues, removal can still be a sensible choice, especially for peace of mind or comfort.
Aftercare plays a big role in how well your skin heals after mole removal. At Cryosonic, we give each client clear, simple aftercare instructions to help promote a smooth and healthy recovery.
Here’s what we typically recommend:
Most people find the healing process straightforward, with full recovery in a couple of weeks. By following aftercare advice, you help reduce the chance of scarring and ensure the best cosmetic result.
