Mole & Skin Growth Removal

Aaron Laser's mole and skin growth removal service offers multiple methods under one specialist team: CO2 laser vaporisation for appropriate moles and benign skin growths (fibromas, non-viral warts), surgical excision under local anaesthetic for suspicious or deeply-located lesions, punch biopsy (probatory excision) for diagnostic tissue sampling, and exkochleation (surface curette removal) for seborrheic keratoses. Every removed specimen is examined histopathologically at a pathology laboratory — the clinical gold standard for confirming the tissue diagnosis. Post-removal, the skin forms a scab that separates naturally over 2–4 weeks, leaving a fading pink area that gradually normalises over months.

Skin lesion removal at Aaron Laser is a dermatosurgical procedure performed exclusively by specialist dermatologists with board certification in dermatovenereology — not by aesthetic nurses or general practitioners. The clinical approach begins with a dermatoscopic assessment of each lesion to determine its likely diagnosis and select the safest, most effective removal method. Four distinct removal techniques are available at the clinic, and the treating physician selects based on lesion type, location, size and depth. CO2 laser vaporisation is used for moles and benign growths (fibromas, skin tags, non-viral warts) that have been assessed dermatoscopically and confirmed suitable for ablative removal — the laser vaporises the lesion tissue layer by layer without leaving the deep tissue trauma of surgical incision, and the result is typically a small scab that heals within 1–2 weeks. Surgical excision under local anaesthesia is used for lesions that require complete removal with clear margins — particularly any mole with atypical dermatoscopic features — and always includes suturing and histopathological examination of the specimen. Probatory (punch) biopsy uses a rotating punch to take a small cylindrical core through the full thickness of the lesion and is the preferred approach when a tissue diagnosis is needed before deciding on full removal. Exkochleation uses a scalpel and curette to shave off surface lesions such as seborrheic keratoses (common warty brown growths) that do not require deep excision. Histopathological examination of removed material is strongly recommended by the clinic for all procedures — the 700 Kč per specimen fee covers laboratory processing and provides a definitive pathology report. For lesions removed by CO2 laser or surgical excision, the post-procedure care protocol includes allowing the scab to separate naturally (picking or premature removal risks scarring), keeping the area clean, and applying physical sunscreen for a minimum of two months to prevent post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation over the healing site.
