Mole & Skin Lesion Removal

Removal of moles, skin tags, warts and other lesions performed by a dermatologist, using surgical excision or a CO2 laser depending on the lesion. At DermaDerm suspicious or changing moles are assessed first and, when removed surgically, the tissue can be sent for histopathology. The clinic also offers cryotherapy for viral warts. Method and aftercare are tailored to the lesion and its location.

DermaDerm offers the removal of a range of benign and suspicious skin lesions by a dermatologist, with the technique chosen to suit the lesion's type, size and location. Raised moles and growths, and anything that looks atypical or has changed, are typically removed by surgical excision under local anaesthetic so that the full lesion is taken and the tissue can be sent for histopathological examination — an important step for proper diagnosis whenever a mole is suspicious. Smaller, clearly benign blemishes such as skin tags and certain superficial lesions can be removed with a CO2 laser, which vaporises the tissue precisely with minimal bleeding, while viral warts are commonly treated with cryotherapy that freezes the lesion to destroy it over subsequent days. At the appointment the dermatologist examines the lesion, often with a dermatoscope, and advises whether removal is appropriate and which method is best. Surgical excision involves numbing the area, removing the lesion and closing the wound, sometimes with sutures that are removed after a week or two; laser and cryotherapy leave a small wound that heals over the following days with simple aftercare. You will be given wound-care guidance and advised on sun protection of the healing site to reduce marking. Because correct diagnosis matters, the clinic's dermatology-led approach means worrying lesions are evaluated by a specialist rather than simply destroyed, and histopathology is available for excised tissue. Lesion removal suits adults who want a mole, skin tag, wart or other growth assessed and treated professionally; any lesion suspected of being skin cancer is handled with appropriate examination and tissue analysis. Suitability and the most appropriate technique are confirmed by the doctor at consultation.
