Laser Mole & Skin Lesion Removal (CO2 Fraxis)

This treatment removes benign skin growths — age warts, raised moles and other small lesions — using the CO2 laser Fraxis, which vaporises the tissue precisely with minimal damage to the surrounding skin. At Dermaestet every mole is first assessed by a dermatologist; anything that looks suspicious is removed surgically with histology rather than by laser, so the priority is safety as well as appearance. It is a quick procedure with the first lesion priced from a set fee and each additional growth charged at a lower rate.

Skin growths such as age (seborrhoeic) warts, raised moles, skin tags and other benign lesions are common and usually harmless, but they can be cosmetically unwelcome or catch on clothing. At Dermaestet they are most often removed with the CO2 laser Fraxis, which delivers a focused beam that vaporises the unwanted tissue layer by layer with great precision and limited heat spread, allowing clean removal and tidy healing. Crucially, the clinic stresses that a growth is not only a cosmetic issue but a potential health matter: every lesion is assessed by a doctor first, and where a mole or growth is judged suspicious it is removed surgically so the tissue can be sent for histological examination rather than destroyed by laser. This makes dermatological oversight central to the treatment. The procedure itself is short — the clinic notes around ten to fifteen minutes — and is usually performed without anaesthetic for small lesions. Afterward a small scab forms over the treated spot and heals over the following days to weeks; the area should be kept clean and protected from the sun, and picking avoided, to minimise marking. Pricing is set for the first lesion with a reduced fee for each additional mole or growth treated in the same session, and a dermatoscopic examination is available to check moles before any removal. The treatment suits adults wanting to remove confirmed-benign growths for comfort or appearance; pigmented lesions are only lasered once their benign nature is established, and any changing, irregular or suspicious mole is referred for surgical excision and histology. Suitability is confirmed at assessment.
