A skin lesion is an area of the skin that is different than the surrounding skin. This can be a lump, sore, or an area of skin that is not normal. It may also be skin cancer. Skin lesion removal is a procedure to remove the lesion.  Often it is not necessary to remove the lesion and people can live with them without causing any harm.  Often, however, people are self-conscious about their appearance and decide to have the lesion removed for cosmetic reasons.

At Advanced Cosmetic Medicine we remove a whole host of different types of lesions including; moles, freckles, spider veins, warts, skin tags, milia, birth marks etc.

It is not possible to remove scars completely, however, their appearance can be softened using a vascular laser to take away the redness and sunken scars can be raised level with the surrounding skin using dermal fillers.

The cost of skin lesion removal varies depending on the type of skin lesion and the method of removing it. The price will also vary depending on the amount of time it takes to remove the skin lesions and how many there are.  You will be informed at the consult regarding the cost of the procedure.
