Lesion Removal

What Is Lesion Removal?

Lesion removal is a dermatologic procedure used to safely eliminate unwanted or concerning skin growths. These may include moles, skin tags, cysts, or other benign and suspicious lesions. Removal not only improves skin appearance but can also prevent complications if the lesion is precancerous or cancerous.

How Lesion Removal Works

Your care begins with a thorough evaluation to determine the nature of the lesion. Depending on its size, type, and location, removal may involve excision, cryotherapy (freezing), or other minor in-office procedures. Local anesthesia is often used to ensure comfort, and most removals are quick with minimal recovery time. Pathology testing may be recommended for suspicious lesions.
