What is Radio-Frequency Mole/Lump/Bump/Tag Removal?

Cosmetic radiofrequency mole removal uses advanced radio-wave technology at a precise frequency of 4.0 MHz, delivered directly to the skin via a specialised electrode. The skin’s natural resistance ensures the energy penetrates only a few microns deep, allowing for exceptionally accurate and gentle mole removal. Unlike traditional surgical methods, this procedure provides a scarless, cosmetically superior result—perfect for anyone seeking flawless skin after mole removal.

Radiofrequency mole removal offers many advantages over the traditional method of excision with a scalpel including:

  • Cosmetically superior results with radiofrequency cosmetic mole removal
  • Simultaneous cutting and coagulation produces removal without bleeding
  • Significantly less scarring as compared to mole removal with scalpels
  • No stitches, scalpels or bleeding
  • Far more precise incisions than traditional cut-and-stitch methods
  • The heat generated from radiofrequency waves means incisions are bacteria free, leading to lower risk of infection

How much does it cost to remove moles?

At Contour Clinics, our experienced cosmetic doctors have successfully removed over 20,000 moles, lumps, bumps, and skin tags. Experience advanced, affordable mole removal solutions without stitches, scarring, downtime, or excessive costs, and avoid unnecessary scars, discomfort, and lengthy healing periods.

Prices of treatments

We do not charge for assessment of suitability for this procedure. Appointments are free of charge and there is no obligation to proceed if you are not confident. The procedure can be done on the same day as consultation, however there is no rush. We recommend you take your time with all medical decisions.

Electrodes used for removal are single use per patient. The cost of the first removal is based on the expense of the electrode.

Once you have had one removal, the cost comes down to $149 for each subsequent removal, because the expense of the electrode has already been covered with your first mole/lump/bump removed.

Electrodes used for removal are single use per patient. The cost of the first intimate area removal is based on the expense of the electrode.

Once you have had one intimate area removal, the cost comes down to $195 for each subsequent removal, because the expense of the electrode has already been covered with your first lesion removed.

You receive 3 free laser scar removal treatments free of charge. This is unnecessary in most cases, but provides peace of mind in case of the rare risk of scarring. You are welcome to return for a follow up appointment post treatment, but this is not mandatory and unnecessary if the area has healed well and you are happy with the outcome.

Patient Experience

Download our eBook Things you MUST know prior to getting your moles/lump/bumps removed

Many moles can be removed without a scar.

There are many moles that require the attention of a specialist plastic surgeon or dermatologist. Those moles with suspicious features, and therefore with a propensity to turn cancerous, must absolutely without exception be removed in their entirety using traditional mole removal cut and stitch methods.

However, MOST moles do not!

These are the things you MUST KNOW prior to engaging a doctor for removal of an unwanted mole, lump or bump.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long will it take to heal?

Mole removal healing depends on the area of the body involved.

The further from the face, the longer the duration in cosmetic mole removal healing time. In most cases the scab will fall off after a week.

You can reduce the risk of a mole removal scar with application of topical antibiotic cream, and keeping the area covered with a moist dressing.

It is common for the area to itch in the 1-3 weeks post cosmetic mole removal. This is all a part of the healing process.

Your cosmetic physician will discuss dressings that are appropriate for you during your cosmetic mole removal consultation.

Can I shower or swim after mole removal?

Showering is fine as long as the treated area is covered for the first 5 days.

Swimming is not advised for 2 weeks post treatment.

Can I exercise after mole removal?

You may exercise immediately after mole removal.

When can I apply makeup after mole removal?

The earliest we recommend applying makeup to the treated mole removal area is 2 week post treatment.

Makeup can be applied around the treated mole removal area.

Is mole removal safe? What are the risks?

All medical procedures carry risk. It is important for you to discuss risks as they apply to you at your complimentary obligation free consultation with an experienced Contour Clinics cosmetic doctor.

Radiofrequency mole removal is a well researched, clinically validated gold standard method for cosmetic mole removal. This method of removal has an excellent safety profile, but as with any medical procedure there are uncommon risks. Some of which include:

  • Bleeding can be common after this procedure. This can be decreased with application of a pressure dressing post procedure. It is usually minor and ceases in 1-2 days.
  • Infection is rare and varies depending on the location treated and your general health.
  • Scarring varies significantly based on your mole type, skin colour, general health, and history of previous scarring.

Your cosmetic physician will discuss any other risks that are specific to you at the time of consultation.

What can I do at home to remove my moles?

Unfortunately, there is nothing proven to remove moles at home.

It is not recommended you try any of the commonly suggested home fixes such as aloe vera, lemon juice, castor oil, baking soda etc.

Mole removal pens have become a popular option on some beauty forums. These have a higher propensity to cause scarring, and in untrained hands can cause infection. We caution against their use for this reason.

We suggest a formal consultation with one of our doctors prior to any mole removal procedure.

What are the chances of a mole removal scar?

The risk of a scar after mole removal varies depending on the area treated, skin type, history of scarring, and adherence to aftercare instructions.

In general, studies have reported the risk of clinically significant scarring to be somewhere in the region of 2-5%. This is usually always more aesthetically pleasing than the original mole.

Scars can often appear red/pink and will fade overtime to blend with normal skin.  The risk of a mole removal scar developing will be discussed during your consultation.

Will mole removal prevent cancer?

No. This is not a goal of cosmetic mole removal.

Cosmetic mole removal targets benign nevi that have no suspicious hallmarks of cancer. The risk of these moles turning cancerous is incredibly low.

The goal is to remove lesions to provide the most aesthetically pleasing appearance.

Any moles that are not 100% benign are referred to a dermatologist for appropriate management.
