How are skin lesions removed?
All methods of skin lesion removal are used interchangeably to achieve the safest clinical outcome and best aesthetic result.
Used on lesions that prodtude from your skin surface. It is ‘shaved’ off so it is the same level of the surrounding skin.
Curettage (Scooping)
Your lesion is gently scooped away using a curette spoon.
Electrocautery (Burning)
Probe which is heated up by an electric current and used to burn off a skin lesion.
Your lesion is frozen off using liquid nitrogen.
Elliptical incision to remove the Lesion or Cyst. Used for Skin Lesions that require sending to Histology for diagnosis. Sutures are used to close the wound.
*Although every effort is made during skin lesion removal procedures to ensure the lesions are treated effectively or excised fully, there may be rare occasions that the outcome is still not 100% effective – Warts and Verruca are particularly challenging to cure.
