Dr Mohamed Mahmoud, General Practitioner

Cosmetic Mole Removal

Quick, clean mole removal with the Surgitron

Benign moles that bother you for appearance or irritation can be removed in the clinic using the Surgitron, a radiofrequency device that avoids cutting with a scalpel.

Book an appointment

Dr Mahmoud welcomes patients from Caboolture, Moreton Bay and across the Sunshine Coast.

How it works

The Surgitron uses fine, high-frequency radio waves to remove the mole at the surface of the skin. Instead of cutting with a scalpel, the device works precisely on the lesion you want removed.

Many people choose this option because it is done in the clinic, usually without stitches, and healing is typically quick. Healing and the final result vary between people and depend on where the mole is and how it heals, so Dr Mahmoud will discuss what to expect before the procedure.

What to expect

  • Done in the clinic in one visit
  • Usually no stitches needed
  • Minimal scarring is expected
  • Aftercare instructions given on the day
  • Follow-up if needed to check healing

Check before you remove

Cosmetic removal is for moles that are benign and bothering you. It is not a substitute for a skin check.

Book a skin check instead if a mole has changed in size, shape or colour, is new, bleeds, itches or does not heal. These moles need to be assessed first, and Dr Mahmoud may recommend a biopsy.

Dr Mahmoud will assess the mole at your consultation and decide whether cosmetic removal is suitable.

Fees and Medicare

Cosmetic mole removal is generally not covered by Medicare, so it is not usually bulk-billed. Fees vary by clinic, so please call the clinic you choose to confirm the cost before your visit.
