Question 1

What is cosmetic lesion removal, and how does it work?

Accepted Answer

Cosmetic skin lesion removal at Advantage Skin Clinic involves a procedure or non-invasive treatment for extracting and excising benign skin lesions, including skin tag removal, skin mole removal and skin wart removal. The removed tissue is sent for pathological examination to ensure accurate diagnosis. The duration and recovery time vary based on the course of treatment and the number and size of lesions removed.

Question 2

What types of lesions can be removed with cosmetic lesion removal, and what technology is used?

Accepted Answer

We offer three specialised approaches based on the type of lesion and the expertise required. For the removal of skin tags, seborrheic keratosis and warts, our Dermal Clinicians utilise advanced CO2 ablative laser technology — a non-invasive solution that minimises damage to surrounding tissues while ensuring a smoother recovery.

For other types of lesions, our Medical Doctors will determine the most appropriate course of treatment, which may include a procedure with local anaesthetic. They can carefully remove the lesion and send it to the lab for thorough testing, comprehensive analysis and accurate results.

Alternatively, our Medical Doctors may use the Bovie Derm 102 Electrosurgical Desiccator, a state-of-the-art device that employs high-frequency electrical currents to remove skin tags, seborrheic keratosis and sebaceous hyperplasias. This method is highly effective for targeted benign skin lesion removal and reduces the risk of scarring.

Question 3

Is cosmetic lesion removal safe?

Accepted Answer

Yes, cosmetic lesion removal is considered safe when performed by our qualified Medical Doctors and Dermal Clinicians. We employ established techniques like CO2 ablative lasers and high-frequency electrical currents to target lesions effectively while minimising risk to surrounding tissues. If you require surgery to remove your benign skin lesion, our medical team ensures it is conducted with the highest standards of care and precision, further ensuring patient safety and a smooth post-procedure recovery.

Question 4

What areas can be treated?

Accepted Answer

Whether you require a surgical procedure or a non-invasive alternative for benign skin lesion removal, we can treat lesions across the entire body, including the face, neck, torso, arms and legs.

Question 5

Who is a suitable candidate for cosmetic lesion removal?

Accepted Answer

Suitable candidates for this treatment are individuals with benign and non-cancerous skin lesions such as moles, skin tags, warts or seborrheic keratoses that they wish to remove for aesthetic or comfort reasons. Our Medical Doctors are also equipped to manage skin cancers, including melanoma and non-melanomatous skin cancers, and will provide appropriate referrals to other medical specialists if necessary.

Question 6

What is the recovery process like after cosmetic lesion removal?

Accepted Answer

While it depends on the treatment prescribed by your Medical Doctor, the recovery process following skin mole, skin tag or skin lesion removal surgery is typically straightforward with minimal downtime. The treated area may be covered with a small dressing and patients may experience some soreness, swelling, redness and bruising.

Question 7

How long do the results of cosmetic lesion removal last?

Accepted Answer

Results from cosmetic skin tag removal can vary depending on the patient’s skin type, the size of the lesion and its location on the body. Once a benign lesion — like a mole, skin tag or wart — is excised, it typically does not return. However, new lesions may develop in other areas due to factors like genetics or sun exposure, so it’s important to continue with your regular skin checks.

Question 8

Do I need follow-up sessions?

Accepted Answer

Follow-up consultations may be necessary to monitor healing, ensure complete lesion removal and manage any unexpected changes.

Question 9

How can I prepare for a skin lesion removal surgery?

Accepted Answer

Prior to the procedure, refrain from using harsh skincare products on the affected area, inform your Medical Doctor about any medications you take and protect the area from sun exposure. On the day of your benign skin lesion removal procedure, ensure the area is clean and free of makeup or lotions.
