Doctor-led mole, cyst, skin tag, wart and keloid removal at EF MEDISPA. Aesthetic-first precision in under 60 minutes across our Kensington, Chelsea and St John's Wood clinics.
Dr Charakida graduated with First Class Honours from the Medical School of Athens in 1998, trained in Dermatosurgery under the globally respected Dr Chu, and qualified at Imperial College London. She furthered her expertise at the Smartlipo Institute in Arizona and under world-renowned plastic surgeon Dr Alfredo Hoyos in Bogotá. A Cosmetic and Aesthetic Dermatologist, she is known for her work on ageing, melasma, acne scarring, surgical lesion removal and advanced laser treatments, always with an aesthetic-first focus on the final scar.
Five specialist dermatosurgery pathways. Each delivered by Dr Charakida with an aesthetic-first focus, under local anaesthetic, the same day.
Raised, flat, pigmented or simply bothersome. Dr Charakida chooses surgical excision or shave biopsy for the smoothest final scar, not just lesion removal. This is the cosmetic-first difference.
Neck, underarms, eyelids or body. Removed in minutes with clean margins and no damage to surrounding skin. Multiple tags treated in a single session for a single consultation fee.
Under-skin lumps that feel uncomfortable, embarrassing or unpredictable. Surgical excision with full capsule removal and cosmetic closure, the detail that prevents recurrence and leaves the flattest possible scar.
Stubborn warts and verrucas that have resisted over-the-counter treatments are no match for medical-grade cryotherapy or cautery. We eliminate the lesion at its root to prevent recurrence.
Keloids are one of the most complex dermatological challenges. Dr Charakida deploys a tailored combination, from intralesional steroid injections to advanced laser protocols, to flatten, fade and restore your skin's natural profile.
Waiting months for a rushed, function-only removal is no longer your only option.
Three simple steps from initial concern to clear, confident skin.
Dr Charakida personally assesses your concern to confirm a safe, effective removal plan, and advises on the method that minimises your scarring. The £250 consultation fee is deducted from your treatment.
Under local anaesthetic for a completely pain-free experience, the lesion is precisely removed using surgical excision, cryotherapy or cautery, chosen for your specific skin and lesion type.
We don't just remove the issue and send you home. You receive a bespoke healing plan, wound care advice and a follow-up to ensure your skin heals beautifully, with the least visible trace.

"Dr Charakida's expertise is unmatched. I had a mole removed on my face and you can't even see where it was. I only wish I'd done it sooner."
"After years of a skin tag on my neck making me self-conscious, it was gone in less than 20 minutes. The clinic is beautiful and the team incredibly professional."
"Waited nine months with my GP before coming here. Cyst removed under local anaesthetic, back at work the same afternoon. The scar is genuinely invisible."

Full profileA local anaesthetic is administered before all surgical procedures, making the removal itself entirely pain-free. You may feel brief pressure during the injection, but the procedure itself is comfortable. Most clients describe it as far less daunting than they expected.
All excisions leave some trace, but Dr Charakida's aesthetic-first approach is specifically focused on minimising this. The choice of technique, suture method and aftercare protocol is all designed to produce the flattest, least visible scar. The difference versus a standard GP removal is significant.
Yes. In many cases, multiple skin tags, warts or small lesions can be treated in a single appointment, saving time and consultation fees. This is confirmed during your initial assessment with Dr Charakida.
Skin tag and wart removals typically require no downtime at all. Surgical excisions (moles, cysts) require keeping the wound dry for a few days and may leave a small dressing in place. Most clients return to work the same day. Dr Charakida provides a full personalised aftercare plan.
Your consultation with Dr Charakida includes a full dermoscopic assessment. If a lesion shows any features requiring further investigation, we advise sending it for histological analysis. Most moles removed at EF MEDISPA are done for aesthetic or comfort reasons, but your safety is always our first priority.
All dermatosurgery at EF MEDISPA is performed by Dr Katerina Charakida, our Senior Dermatologist, GMC registered (6030845) and Imperial College London trained. The doctor you meet at consultation is the doctor who treats you. We never delegate surgical work to juniors.
