Mole and Lesion Removal

Infinity Clinic offers minor surgical removal of moles, benign skin lesions, and dermatological growths through the clinic's surgical ambulatory service. The procedure is performed by MUDr. et Mgr. Petra Jakeš, a certified surgeon, using standard excision under local anaesthesia. The 300 Kč self-pay rate applies to cosmetic removals done without a GP or dermatologist referral — considerably lower than private dermatology clinics in the region. Where a medical referral is provided, the procedure is covered by Czech health insurance. Each excision typically takes 15–20 minutes, and patients can return to normal activities the same day. Histopathological analysis of excised tissue can be arranged separately if clinically indicated.

Mole and skin lesion removal at Infinity Clinic is classified as minor surgery (excize) and performed within the clinic's surgical ambulatory unit. The service is available without a waiting list for self-pay patients who wish to have lesions removed for cosmetic reasons without a referral from a GP or dermatologist. **Lesions commonly treated:** - Melanocytic naevi (common moles) — raised, flat, or compound - Sebaceous cysts and epidermoid cysts - Dermatofibromas and benign fibrous growths - Skin tags (acrochordon) in areas prone to irritation - Papillomas and viral warts unresponsive to topical treatment - Small benign lipomas near the skin surface **Surgical technique:** Under sterile technique and local anaesthetic (lidocaine), the lesion is excised with an appropriate margin of healthy tissue. Fusiform (elliptical) excisions are standard for raised or pigmented lesions, with the long axis aligned along natural skin tension lines (Langer's lines) to minimise scar visibility. The wound is closed with interrupted or subcuticular sutures selected to suit the site and skin thickness. **Recovery:** A small adhesive dressing is applied and can be removed after 24–48 hours. Sutures are typically removed at 5–14 days depending on location (face 5–7 days, body 10–14 days). The wound should be kept dry for the first 24 hours. Minimal scarring is expected when the patient follows aftercare instructions and avoids sun exposure during healing. **Histopathology:** Excised tissue can be sent for pathological examination on request. This is recommended for any lesion that has changed in size, colour, or border regularity — the ABCDE criteria (Asymmetry, Border, Colour, Diameter, Evolution) guide the clinical decision. For patients with insurance coverage and a dermatologist or GP referral, the procedure is fully reimbursed and can be scheduled through the insurance pathway. Self-pay cosmetic removals cost 300 Kč per lesion and can be combined in a single visit for efficiency.
