Mole & Skin Tag Removal in Crows Nest, Sydney’s North Shore
At FaceTime Skin & Body Clinic in Crows Nest on Sydney’s North Shore, our Dermatology Practitioner team offers safe, precise and clinically guided benign skin lesion removal for clients seeking both medical reassurance and superior cosmetic outcomes. We treat a wide range of common lesions — including moles, skin tags, cherry angiomas, seborrhoeic keratoses and other benign skin growths — using evidence-based techniques designed to minimise scarring and downtime.
To achieve optimal results, we utilise advanced medical-grade technology, such as Radiofrequency (RF) surgery, low-scarring cosmetic laser modalities, and high-resolution dermoscopic assessment. These methods allow for targeted removal with exceptional accuracy, making them ideal for areas where cosmetic appearance is important.
Before any procedure, every lesion is thoroughly assessed using professional dermoscopy by our qualified practitioner to confirm its benign nature and suitability for cosmetic removal. If a lesion displays atypical or suspicious features requiring dermatology review or pathology testing, we will advise you immediately and guide you toward the appropriate medical pathway.
At FaceTime Skin & Body Clinic, your safety, correct clinical evaluation and natural-looking cosmetic results are always our top priorities. Our approach combines medical expertise with aesthetic precision, ensuring you receive the most appropriate and effective treatment for your skin.
Mole
Removal
Moles are common skin spots that form when pigment-producing cells cluster together in one small area. They can appear anywhere on the body and vary in colour, size, shape and whether they are flat or raised. Most moles stay the same for many years, but some can slowly change over time due to sun exposure, hormones or natural ageing.
Skin Tag
Removal
Skin Tags are small, soft, harmless growths that often appear in areas where the skin folds or rubs together, such as the neck, underarms, groin, eyelids or under the breasts. While harmless, they can become irritated or bothersome and are often removed for comfort or cosmetic reasons.
Regular skin checks are essential for detecting early signs of skin cancer. At FaceTime Skin & Body Clinic, we perform detailed, dermoscopy-guided examinations to assess moles, sun spots, and any new or changing lesions. Early detection provides peace of mind and ensures you receive the right care at the right time.

This method is highly effective for treating raised moles and benign lesions, offering smoother results with minimal downtime and significantly reduced scarring compared with many traditional removal techniques.
Benefits of Radiofrequency Removal:

Ideal for raised moles, skin tags, angiomas and seborrhoeic keratoses
-
Minimal bleeding, swelling and discomfort
-
Faster healing compared to surgical cutting or shaving
-
Noticeably less scarring than most conventional removal methods
-
Quick procedure with minimal disruption to daily activities

Cherry angiomas
-
Seborrhoeic keratoses

Cosmetic concerns such as uneven texture or protruding growths
Mole removal consultation
Before removing any mole or skin lesion, it is important to have it professionally assessed to ensure it is safe and appropriate for cosmetic removal. This assessment should be carried out by a qualified medical practitioner with experience in skin cancer detection. A proper evaluation helps confirm that the lesion is benign and suitable for non-surgical removal techniques.
At FaceTime Skin & Body Clinic, all lesions are carefully evaluated prior to treatment. If a mole or growth shows features that require further medical investigation, we will always recommend follow-up with your GP or a specialist dermatologist for accurate diagnosis and management. Your safety and long-term skin health are our highest priorities.
Contraindications for Radiofrequency Lesion Removal
Radiofrequency removal may not be suitable for clients who:
-
Have a pacemaker or implanted defibrillator
-
Are currently pregnant
-
Have certain skin types or conditions that increase the risk of pigmentation changes or scarring
Individuals with deeper skin tones may have a higher chance of post-inflammatory pigmentation or raised scarring after RF removal. In these cases, we will discuss alternative options or recommend medical review.

The Procedure
Radiofrequency (RF) mole removal is a highly precise technique commonly used for benign raised moles that sit above the surface of the skin. At FaceTime Skin & Body Clinic in Crows Nest on Sydney’s North Shore, we use advanced medical-grade RF technology to gently contour and flatten raised lesions without cutting deeply into surrounding tissue.
Before the procedure, a local anaesthetic is administered to fully numb the area, ensuring your comfort throughout treatment. Once the skin is anaesthetised, a fine RF electrode delivers high-frequency energy that vaporises superficial layers of the mole in controlled, micro-thin sections. At the same time, the heat seals the tissue, helping to minimise bleeding, reduce thermal damage, and achieve a smoother cosmetic finish with less scarring compared to traditional excision or shaving methods.
This method is ideal for non-cancerous raised moles that have been clinically assessed as safe for cosmetic removal. Because RF focuses on the superficial portion of the mole, the deeper skin structures are preserved, reducing the likelihood of noticeable scarring and supporting faster recovery.
All procedures at our Sydney North Shore clinic are performed under strict clinical supervision. Each mole is examined beforehand to confirm that it displays benign features and is appropriate for RF removal. If a lesion requires medical investigation, referral to your GP or dermatologist will be recommended to ensure proper care.
Side effects and warnings
As with any skin procedure, there are potential risks and limitations. In some cases, the mole or lesion may partially re-grow over time, and there is a small possibility of scarring or changes in skin colour. Your clinician will discuss these risks, expected outcomes and alternative options with you before treatment so that you can make an informed decision.
Recovery & Aftercare
Following RF mole removal, the treated area is typically covered with a small protective dressing to keep it clean and reduce irritation during the early stage of healing. Most clients are able to shower on the same day and return to normal daily activities shortly after the procedure.
Healing Expectations
-
Initial healing:
The surface of the skin usually begins to repair itself within 1–4 weeks, although some individuals may experience longer healing period depending on skin type and the depth of the lesion. -
Redness:
It is normal for the area to appear pink or red as new skin forms. This redness may take several weeks – and in some cases a few months – to settle fully. -
Colour settling:
The treated site may temporarily look lighter or darker than the surrounding skin. This gradually blends in as the skin continues to mature. -
Scabbing:
A light, dry crust may form during the healing process. This should be allowed to fall off naturally to reduce the risk of scarring or pigmentation.
How to Support Healing and Reduce Pigmentation
-
Keep the area clean and dry
-
Avoid picking or scratching the scab
-
Protect the area from sun exposure
-
Apply clinician-recommended soothing products if advised
-
Follow all personalised aftercare instructions provided by your practitioner
-
Proper aftercare helps the skin heal evenly and reduces the likelihood of post-inflammatory pigmentation, especially in individuals prone to discoloration.
