Not every skin lesion responds to the first treatment, and that’s exactly why choosing the right technique matters.
This client had a raised seborrhoeic keratosis on her shoulder that she wanted removed.
Before coming to see me, she had done exactly what I would recommend. She visited a dermatologist, who carefully examined the lesion and confirmed that it was completely benign. The dermatologist then attempted to remove it using cryotherapy. After paying a couple of hundred pounds for the treatment, unfortunately there was no improvement and the lesion remained unchanged.
When she visited me in my London clinic, she asked if I could help.
Using advanced diathermy, I carefully treated the lesion and gently lifted it away from the skin.
As you can see from these before and after photographs, the result speaks for itself. Healthy, beautiful skin tissue was revealed underneath, with an excellent cosmetic outcome.
One aspect of my work that I take enormous pride in is removing benign skin lesions with the least possible tissue trauma, aiming for beautiful healing and little to no visible scarring wherever clinically appropriate.
Seeing results like this never gets old, especially when someone has been living with a lesion that previous treatment couldn’t resolve.
Thank you to my lovely client for allowing me to share her photographs.
Please remember:
• Any changing or suspicious skin lesion should always be assessed by a doctor or dermatologist before any cosmetic removal is considered.
• Once a lesion has been confirmed as benign, there are a number of treatment options available, and the most appropriate one will depend on the lesion and the individual.
If you have a skin tag, seborrhoeic keratosis, cherry angioma, sebaceous hyperplasia or another benign skin lesion that has already been medically assessed, we’d be delighted to help.
