The treatment
Skin Lesion Removal: how it works
Dr Shahe Boghossian looks at each lesion and asks how long you've had it and whether it has changed. Most skin tags, moles and lumps are harmless and don't need removing. If removal suits you, he numbs the area with local anaesthetic and removes the lesion by shaving, cautery or a minor excision, depending on its type and where it is. If anything looks suspicious, he refers you to your GP the same day rather than removing it.

Before you book
Is this treatment right for you?
Suitable for
- Adults aged 18 and over with skin tags or small raised growths that catch, bleed, rub or bother them, once Dr Shahe confirms removal suits them.
- Adults with milia, the small white bumps that sit close to the surface, most often around the eyes, nose and cheeks.
Not suitable for
- A mole or lump that has changed in size, shape or colour, or that is painful, hard, fixed or growing, needs your GP first. Moles can occasionally be cancerous, so we recommend a GP check before any mole is removed.
In their own words
I had a really positive experience at the clinic. Since I wasn’t able to have my skin lesion removed through the NHS, I decided to book here and I’m very glad I did. The online consultation booking process was straightforward, and Dr. Boghossian was able to carry out the procedure during the same appointment. Dr. Boghossian and Jaz were both professional and made me feel completely at ease throughout the process. I returned a week later to have my stitches removed, and that appointment was just as quick and smooth. The pricing was very reasonable given the level of care and service provided.

After your appointment
Aftercare
Keep the area clean and dry while it heals, leave any scab alone, and follow the written aftercare you're given. Use SPF on the area once it has healed.
Usually one appointment
The clinic is at 65 London Road, Newark-on-Trent, NG24 1RZ, with free parking at the front.
Most lesions are dealt with at one appointment, with a review afterwards where one is useful. Patients travel in from Balderton, Farndon, Collingham, Southwell, Bingham and Ollerton, and from Lincoln, Grantham and Sleaford. Several lesions can often be treated at one visit, so say how many when you book and we’ll allow the time.
Milia work differently. They are not cut out. A consultation confirms what they are, and then extraction, cryotherapy or a chemical peel does the work, chosen on how many there are and where they sit.
Moles, cysts and lipomas each have their own page: mole removal, cyst removal and lipoma removal. If you’d rather have a mole checked than removed, the mole check is a separate service, read by a consultant dermatologist.
Further reading: cryotherapy for benign skin lesions covers freezing as an alternative for some lesions. What lesion removal costs sets out every price, what it includes and how to compare quotes.
