The treatment

How Skin Lesion Removal works

A detailed history and examination are always carried out first to assess whether private removal is appropriate. Where useful, additional tools such as Map My Mole imaging may support the diagnostic process. Depending on the lesion type and clinical judgement, removal may involve cryotherapy, cautery, shave removal or minor excision under local anaesthetic. Milia are approached differently: once a consultation has confirmed what they are, they are treated by extraction, cryotherapy or a chemical peel, depending on how many there are and where they sit. The clinic is clear that not every lesion is suitable for private cosmetic removal, and suspicious findings are always referred appropriately.

Before you book

Is this treatment right for you?

Suitable for

Adults bothered by raised skin tags, small benign growths or similar lesions that catch, bleed, rub or affect confidence, once suitability is confirmed.
Adults with milia, the small white or cream-coloured bumps that sit close to the surface, most often around the eyes, nose and cheeks.

Not suitable for

Suspicious or diagnostically uncertain lesions should not be removed as routine cosmetic procedures and may need Map My Mole review, GP input or dermatology referral first.

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, dry and protected as advised. Follow wound-care guidance carefully, avoid picking and use SPF once healed to help reduce visible pigmentation or scar change.

Usually one appointment

The clinic is at 65 London Road, Newark-on-Trent, NG24 1RZ, with free parking at the front.

Suitable lesions are often dealt with in a single treatment, with a review afterwards where one is useful. One trip, in other words, which makes a longer drive easy to justify.

Patients travel in from Balderton, Farndon, Collingham, Southwell, Bingham and Ollerton, and from Lincoln, Grantham and Sleaford. Several lesions can often be treated in one appointment, so say how many when you book and we will allow the time.

Milia are the exception to most of the above. They are the small white bumps that sit close to the surface, usually around the eyes, nose and cheeks, and they are not removed by cutting. 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.

Keep the area clean and dry while it heals, and leave the scab alone.

Further reading: cryotherapy for benign skin lesions covers the alternative approach and when each one suits.

If the drive is the question, we have written it up for Lincoln and for Grantham.

Common questions

Frequently asked about Skin Lesion Removal

What kinds of lesions can be removed?

The clinic describes treatment for suitable benign lesions such as skin tags, milia, small raised growths and similar lesions that catch on clothes, bleed or affect confidence.

How does the clinic decide whether removal is appropriate?

A detailed history and examination are performed first, and the clinic may use tools or pathways such as Map My Mole before deciding whether private removal is suitable.

What removal techniques might be used?

Depending on the lesion and clinical judgement, the clinic may use cryotherapy, cautery, shave removal or minor excision under local anaesthetic. Milia are treated by extraction, cryotherapy or a chemical peel instead.

Do you treat milia?

Yes. Milia are the small white or cream-coloured bumps that sit close to the surface, most often around the eyes, nose and cheeks. A consultation comes first to confirm what they are, and they are then treated by extraction, cryotherapy or a chemical peel. Which of the three suits depends on how many there are and where they sit.

Are all lesions suitable for private cosmetic removal?

No. The clinic is clear that not every lesion can or should be removed privately and that suspicious lesions should be referred for appropriate medical review.

Will local anaesthetic be used?

Yes, local anaesthetic is typically used for removal methods such as shave or excision where appropriate.

What downtime should I expect?

Downtime is usually minimal, but you should expect a small wound and a healing period after removal.

Will there be a scar?

Any lesion removal can leave a scar. The clinic explains benefits, limitations and scarring risk before treatment proceeds.

What if the lesion looks unusual?

The clinic prioritises safety and correct diagnosis first, so unusual or suspicious lesions are redirected for proper medical assessment rather than routine cosmetic removal.
