Rather than talking about my latest beauty must-haves, I thought it was about time I shared some of my favourite beauty destinations, starting with Cosmedics Skin Clinics. This is the place to visit if you need any non-surgical procedures done. Trust me.

Review: Cosmedics Skin Clinics Mole Removal

I had a facial mole that I absolutely hated. It wasn't that big - when I would complain about it, friends would ask me to point out where it even was. They would also ask why it bothered me so much, however if you don't like something about yourself, it doesn't matter how anyone else see it or feels about it, it has to go.

I was incredibly nervous about getting my mole removed as, if anything went wrong with the removal, I could've been left with a scarred or damaged face. However I spent a few weeks googling the best mole removal spots in London, to ensure a safe treatment, and I discovered Cosmedics Skin Clinics. Cosmedics Skin Clinics are all over London (with two locations in Bristol) and they have great credentials and client reviews. So I booked a consultation and began my mole removal journey!

Consultation day came and I met with Dr Ross Perry, the Medical Director of Cosmedics Skin Clinics. We discussed my concerns surrounding the mole and then Dr Perry examined it to see if removal was possible, it was! He then explained what the procedure would involve and how to best look after the area post-treatment.

The treatment itself was very quick and relatively painless, the only pain I experienced came from the aesthetic injection and it only lasted a few seconds. The whole procedure took under 10 minutes and, once complete, I was free to leave and go about my regular business and the mole was sent off for examination. A few hours after the removal, the area felt a little sore, however this only latest a few hours.

Understanding...Moles

Moles are very common, so common that you'll struggle finding a single person on this earth that doesn't have one. Most moles are harmless, however some can be life threatening. Some people regard moles as a sign of beauty, while others see them as a sign of ugliness. Moles clearly mean different things to different people, so it's about time we starting talking about them...

What are moles?

Moles are simply a collection of cells that are skin coloured or brown. Most moles begin to form on the body in early childhood and by adulthood it's normal to have up to 40 moles. Moles can appear anywhere on the body, they can be raised or flat and they can be positioned alone or clustered together.

When it comes to moles on the face, the most common type are benign intradermal naevi. As Dr Perry, Medical Director of Cosmedics Skin Clinics, explains, "These are skin coloured or lightly brown moles that stick out of the skin often in areas around the chin and mouth but also on the cheeks and forehead".
