The treatment
How Skin Lesion Removal works
A detailed history and examination are always carried out first to assess whether private removal is appropriate. Where useful, additional tools such as Map My Mole imaging may support the diagnostic process. Depending on the lesion type and clinical judgement, removal may involve cryotherapy, cautery, shave removal or minor excision under local anaesthetic. The clinic is clear that not every lesion is suitable for private cosmetic removal, and suspicious findings are always referred appropriately.

Common questions
Frequently asked about skin lesion removal
What kinds of lesions can be removed?
The clinic describes treatment for suitable benign lesions such as skin tags, small raised growths and similar lesions that catch on clothes, bleed or affect confidence.
How does the clinic decide whether removal is appropriate?
A detailed history and examination are performed first, and the clinic may use tools or pathways such as Map My Mole before deciding whether private removal is suitable.
What removal techniques might be used?
Depending on the lesion and clinical judgement, the clinic may use cryotherapy, cautery, shave removal or minor excision under local anaesthetic.
Are all lesions suitable for private cosmetic removal?
No. The clinic is clear that not every lesion can or should be removed privately and that suspicious lesions should be referred for appropriate medical review.
Will local anaesthetic be used?
Yes, local anaesthetic is typically used for removal methods such as shave or excision where appropriate.
What downtime should I expect?
Downtime is usually minimal, but you should expect a small wound and a healing period after removal.
Will there be a scar?
Any lesion removal can leave a scar. The clinic explains benefits, limitations and scarring risk before treatment proceeds.
What if the lesion looks unusual?
The clinic prioritises safety and correct diagnosis first, so unusual or suspicious lesions are redirected for proper medical assessment rather than routine cosmetic removal.
