Surgical removal of moles and other lesions

Treatment overview

When it comes to skin lesions, the most important question is not aesthetic — it is one of safety. Is the lesion harmless? Should it be removed? Could something be missed?

Surgical removal of moles and other skin lesions delivers precisely what matters most to patients — complete safety and a clear diagnosis.

It is a method that leaves no room for assumptions. The lesion is excised in its entirety and sent for histopathological analysis, providing a definitive and reliable answer.

It is worth noting that this approach is the most medically reliable — because only microscopic analysis of the tissue can confirm the nature of a lesion with certainty. For that reason, whenever there is even the slightest doubt, this is the method of choice.

In situations where you are unsure what a skin change might mean, the most important step is — to have it examined and obtain a clear answer.


How is the treatment performed?

The procedure is carried out under local anaesthesia, with great care and precision.

During the procedure:

  • the lesion is excised in its entirety
  • the wound is precisely closed with sutures
  • the tissue is sent for analysis

The entire procedure is brief, and every step is planned in advance — with no improvisation.


Who is the treatment for?

The procedure is recommended for individuals who:

  • have changing or suspicious moles
  • have skin lesions that require a definitive diagnosis
  • wish to have a lesion removed in full
  • wish to remove a lesion that is aesthetically or functionally bothersome

If you have noticed a skin change that concerns you — do not wait for it to develop further; have it examined in good time.


Our approach

We understand that, for many patients, this procedure is not simply a medical intervention — it is also a moment of uncertainty.

At our clinic, every procedure is planned by a consultant dermatologist with extensive clinical experience, with a clear indication and a thorough explanation of every step.

We do not rush. We take the time it deserves.

Time to examine, to explain, to answer your questions — and to reach a decision together with you.

Patients often come to us feeling apprehensive — and that is entirely understandable. Our role is to replace that feeling with clarity, trust and reassurance.

That is precisely why the first step with us is not the procedure itself — but a consultation and examination, after which you will know exactly where you stand and what comes next.


Preparing for the treatment

Preparation is straightforward:

  • arrive with clean skin
  • avoid irritating the area before the procedure
  • inform the doctor of any medication you are taking

The procedure is performed under local anaesthesia, which means it is comfortable and painless for the patient.


Recovery and precautions

Recovery is calm and well controlled.

Following the procedure:

  • sutures will be in place and removed after a few days
  • mild redness or tenderness may occur

Recommendations:

  • keep the area clean and dry
  • avoid strain depending on the body region involved
  • follow the doctor’s instructions
  • once healed, use SPF

All instructions are provided clearly and in detail — so that you always know exactly what to do.


When the results are visible

The lesion is removed straight away — but the true sense of reassurance comes with the histopathology report.

Histopathological analysis provides the definitive answer and removes any lingering doubt.

The skin gradually regenerates, and the aim is:

  • complete removal of the lesion
  • uncomplicated healing
  • a minimal visible mark

If having a clear answer and peace of mind matters to you — this is the step that makes it possible.


Treatment combinations

Once healing is complete, and if needed, we can further refine the aesthetic outcome with:

  • CO2 Smaxel — to improve the appearance of the scar and regenerate the skin
  • Candela Nordlys — to reduce redness and pigmentation
  • Morpheus8 — to remodel and smooth the skin
  • Icoone Laser Med — to encourage regeneration
  • HIFU — for additional skin firming

In addition:

  • scar care therapy
  • individually tailored aftercare
  • a follow-up plan

Everything is introduced thoughtfully — only when there is a genuine need for it.

    Frequently asked questions

    Here you’ll find answers to the questions our clients most often ask about our services and treatments.

    Every surgical procedure leaves some mark, but with a precise technique and proper aftercare, the scar is in most cases discreet and aesthetically acceptable.
    + Is the procedure painful?
    The procedure is performed under local anaesthesia, which means it is entirely painless for the patient.
    + How long does recovery take?
    Recovery is quick — typically a few days to a week, depending on the size and location of the lesion.
    + Is the procedure safe?
    Yes. It is a standard dermatosurgical procedure which, when performed by an experienced specialist, has a very high level of safety.
    + What happens to the removed tissue?
    Where appropriate, the tissue is sent for histopathological analysis to provide complete diagnostic certainty.
    + Do I have to remove every mole?

    + Why is it important not to delay the procedure?
    Early intervention means a simpler procedure, faster recovery and lower risk.
