What is a Skin Lesion?
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.
What Types of Skin Lesions Can be Removed?
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.
Can Scars be Removed?
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.
How Much Does Skin Lesion Removal Cost?
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.

A Small Selection of Common Skin Lesion Removal Performed at Advanced Cosmetic Medicine
Moles occur when cells in the skin grow in a cluster instead of being spread throughout the skin. These cells are called melanocytes, and they make the pigment that gives skin its natural colour.
Skin tags are a benign outpouching of skin that appears on the underarms, neck, upper chest, groin, and under the breasts.
Warts are lumpy growths in the skin caused by infection with human papillomaviruses, of which there are now more than 100 known types.
Sebaceous cysts are common noncancerous cysts of the skin. Cysts are abnormalities in the body that may contain liquid or semiliquid material. Sebaceous cysts are mostly found on the face, neck, or torso.
A milium is a small cyst containing keratin (skin protein); they are usually multiple and are then known as milia. These harmless cysts present as tiny pearly-white bumps just under the surface of the skin.
A birthmark is a congenital, benign irregularity on the skin which is present at birth or appears shortly after birth, usually in the first month. They can occur anywhere on the skin.
Within the lowest layer of the epidermis are cells called melanocytes, which are responsible for producing the pigment called melanin. This melanin production is what gives our skin its genetically predetermined colour and when overstimulated, can produce excess pigmentation.
Spider veins are a group of dilated veins that appear close to the surface of the skin and look like spider webs or tree branches.
Acne is a particularly difficult condition to treat. If over the counter acne medicines are no longer working, if you are becoming depressed about your acne or if you suffer cystic acne, it is definitely time to consult a doctor for the best treatment advice. At ACM we offer medical treatments, blue light led treatment, excel V laser treatment and chemical peels. Often a combination of treatments works best.
