Skin Lesion Assessment and Removal
Any lesion should be assessed before removal.
Overview
Understanding Skin Lesion Assessment and Removal
Treatments such as cryotherapy may be suitable for some benign lesions, but a changing, bleeding or uncertain lesion needs appropriate medical assessment rather than routine cosmetic removal.
Our Skin Lesion Assessment and Removal Treatments
-
Mole Assessment
A mole must be assessed by a suitably qualified professional before any removal is considered. Cryotherapy is not a substitute for evaluation of a suspicious pigmented lesion.
-
Skin Tag Removal
Assessment and removal of suitable benign skin tags using the method appropriate to the lesion and site. Temporary discomfort, blistering or pigment change may occur.
