At Shannon Dry Aesthetics, moles are removed with Cryopen only. It’s a precise cryotherapy treatment that freezes the mole with a fine jet of nitrous oxide, so there’s no cutting, no stitches and no anaesthetic.
Before anything is removed, your mole is photographed and reviewed by a dermatologist through MapMyMole, so you know it’s benign and safe to treat.

Why every mole is checked first
Shannon works with MapMyMole, a mole checking service that puts your mole in front of a dermatologist before any treatment. During your appointment Shannon takes close-up images of your mole with a dermatoscope, and a dermatologist reviews them and sends you a digital report.
The report confirms whether your mole is benign and safe to remove, or whether you should be referred for specialist care. It’s a quick, private way to get peace of mind without waiting for a GP appointment.

How mole removal works
From your first appointment to healed skin, here’s what happens at each stage. Nothing is removed until a dermatologist has confirmed your mole is safe to treat.
How Cryopen worksConsultation and dermatoscope images
Shannon talks through your concerns and medical history, examines your mole and takes close-up images with a dermatoscope.
Your dermatologist report
Your images are reviewed by a dermatologist through MapMyMole. The digital report usually comes back within 48 hours and confirms whether the mole is safe to remove.
Cryopen treatment
Once your mole is cleared for removal, Shannon freezes it with Cryopen in short bursts of a few seconds. You’ll feel a brief cold sting, and no needles or anaesthetic are needed.
Healing at home
A small scab forms over the next few days and falls away on its own, usually within one to two weeks. Larger or raised moles can need more than one session.
Which moles can be removed?
Most people come to Shannon because a mole bothers them, whether it catches on clothing or they simply don’t like how it looks. Your dermatologist report decides what happens next.
Moles Shannon can remove
Raised moles that catch on clothing, jewellery or your razor
Moles on the face or body you’d like removed for cosmetic reasons
Moles your MapMyMole report confirms are benign and safe to treat
When a mole can’t be treated here

Aftercare and healing
Cryopen leaves no wound to stitch, and most people carry on with their day straight away. A few simple steps help your skin heal well.
After your treatment
Keep the area clean and dry for the first few days.
Let the scab fall away on its own and try not to pick at it.
Avoid swimming, saunas and long soaks for 48 hours.
Protect the area with SPF whenever you’re outdoors.
Contact Shannon if you notice any signs of infection.
Scarring and results
Cryopen works on the mole itself rather than cutting the skin, so there are no stitches. The treated area usually forms a small scab that falls away within one to two weeks, revealing fresh skin underneath.
Scarring is uncommon, but the skin can look a little pink, lighter or darker for a few months while it settles, particularly with larger moles or on deeper skin tones.
Read the full Cryopen aftercareMole removal questions answered
Can moles be frozen off?
Yes. Benign moles can be removed by freezing them with Cryopen, a precise cryotherapy treatment. At Shannon Dry Aesthetics every mole is reviewed by a dermatologist through MapMyMole before it’s treated. Please don’t try to freeze a mole at home with wart treatments.
How much does mole removal cost?
Your booking fee covers your consultation and a dermatologist review of one mole, with an extra fee for each additional mole checked. The cost of removal depends on the size and number of moles, and Shannon confirms it in your treatment plan before any treatment starts.
Will mole removal leave a scar?
Scarring is uncommon with Cryopen because the skin isn’t cut and there are no stitches. The treated area can look a little pink, lighter or darker for a few months while it settles, particularly with larger moles or on deeper skin tones.
Does Cryopen mole removal hurt?
Most people find it very manageable. You’ll feel a sharp, cold sting for the few seconds the mole is being frozen. There are no needles and no anaesthetic.
How many sessions will I need?
Smaller, flatter moles often need just one session. Larger or raised moles can need more than one. Shannon will set this out in your treatment plan once your dermatologist report is back.
Do moles grow back after freezing?
Most treated moles don’t come back. Occasionally some colour can return, and if that happens Shannon will ask for the area to be checked again before any further treatment.
Do I need a GP referral?
No. This is a private service, so you can book directly with Shannon. Your MapMyMole check means a dermatologist reviews your mole without you having to wait for a GP appointment.
Can more than one mole be checked at the same appointment?
Yes. Your booking fee includes a dermatologist review of one mole through MapMyMole. If you’d like more moles checked at the same time, there’s an extra fee for each one, and Shannon will confirm it before your images are sent.
