Skin Lesions

Skin lesion removal is a safe and effective way to treat common skin growths such as moles, skin tags, and milia. These lesions, while often harmless, can be unsightly, irritating, or prone to friction, especially in visible or sensitive areas.

Moles are common skin growths that develop when pigment-producing cells (melanocytes) cluster together, often influenced by genetics, sun exposure, or hormonal changes. While most moles are harmless, changes in size, shape, or color should be monitored by a professional. Prior to the removal, an assessment of the mole is required by your GP.

Skin tags are small, soft, harmless growths that often appear on areas where the skin folds, such as the neck, underarms, or eyelids. They are caused by friction, genetics, and sometimes hormonal changes, and while not dangerous, they can be irritating or unsightly. 

Milia are tiny, hard, white bumps that form when dead skin cells become trapped beneath the surface of the skin. They commonly appear on the face, especially around the eyes and cheeks, and are often harmless but can be persistent. Professional extraction is the safest way to remove milia, ensuring the skin is treated gently to prevent irritation, scarring, or recurrence.

Professional removal ensures the procedure is precise, minimises scarring, and allows for proper examination of any suspicious lesions. Techniques may include excision, cryotherapy, plasma therapy or gentle extraction, depending on the type of lesion and location. With expert care, skin lesion removal not only improves the appearance and comfort of the skin but also provides peace of mind by ensuring any growths are safely evaluated and treated.
