Cryotherapy is a medical procedure that involves very low temperatures to destroy targeted tissue that may include, moles or skin tags. The process itself is often referred to as cryo-necrosis and this refers to the destruction of tissue by freezing it.

Using our cryotherapy technology, we are able to treat skin lesions of various sizes with high precision, while avoiding damage to the surrounding healthy areas.

Skin lesions may need to be removed for several reasons. Firstly, if there is a suspicion that the lesion is cancerous or has the potential to become cancerous, it should be removed as soon as possible. In some cases, benign skin lesions may closely resemble skin cancer, so removal and laboratory examination of the lesion is the only way to confirm if it is cancerous.

Secondly, if the skin lesion is causing significant problems such as snagging on clothing, causing pain or discomfort, or restricting your movement, you may prefer to have it removed.

Thirdly, if you are unhappy with the appearance of the lesion, especially if it is on the face or another visible part of your body, you may decide to have it removed for cosmetic reasons.

Before your procedure you will first need to have a consultation with one of our surgeons. The consultation is in place to help identify any concerns you may have but also to discuss your medical history and symptoms to ensure that you are able to proceed with the procedure. It provides you with the opportunity to ask any questions and also may lead to further tests being done where necessary. When in your consultation, it is important that you provide us with accurate information so that we can provide you with the best possible care.

There are a few things that you may need to do in order to prepare for your procedure. However, when you book your appointment with us we will provide you with details of what you will need to do prior to having the procedure done.

Skin lesions can be removed in a number of ways such as excision, cryotherapy, laser treatment, and electrocautery. What determines the procedure used is that size and location on the body of the skin lesion. This is why having a consultation with a qualified professional before any procedures are undertaken is so important. They will be able to assess the skin lesion and provide you with a suitable solution for your specific situation.

The time that it takes to remove a skin lesion depends on the size and location on your body. If for example it is a particularly hard to reach location it may take longer than an easy to reach location such as on the face. In most cases we can complete a skin lesion removal procedure in around 30 minutes.

The level of pain during skin lesion removal may vary depending on the type and size of the lesion, as well as the individual’s pain threshold. However, before the procedure, the affected area of skin will be numbed with a local anaesthetic to minimize any discomfort or pain during the treatment. After the anaesthetic wears off, some soreness or tenderness may be experienced, but pain relief medication can be prescribed to ease any discomfort. Our clinic will also provide aftercare instructions to ensure a smooth recovery.

The cost of skin lesion removal varies depending on factors such as the type of lesion, size, location, and the method of removal used. At Med Fiore Aesthetic Clinic, the cost of skin lesion removal is determined on a case-by-case basis, and our clinic will provide you with a detailed breakdown of the cost involved during your initial consultation.

When you decide to have a skin lesion removed it is important to note that in most cases you will be left with a scar. However, the size of the scar and how it looks is often a significant improvement form the original skin lesion and scars can be reduced when removed using the latest medical procedures. Our professional skin lesion removal experts are trained to remove skin lesions in a way that minimises scarring and we can also recommend aftercare to further help with scar reduction.
