Skin lesions include moles, papillomas, keratomas, cysts, warts, and lipomas. Most skin lesions do not cause serious problems and are benign, but these skin lesions can be bothersome and sometimes unpleasant, so removing them will improve the appearance of the skin and eliminate the discomfort.
There are different ways to remove skin lesions - the type of procedure will depend on the type of skin lesion you have. For example, if you have benign warts, you can be treated with non-surgical procedures. Larger skin lesions, or those suspected of being malignant, can be removed surgically under local anesthesia.
Removal methods:
- Laser removal of lesions: during this procedure, the doctor uses a laser that emits intense pulses of light and destroys the skin lesion. For small skin lesions (papillomas, keratomas), a few sessions are enough to destroy them. Depending on the size, shape, and location of the skin lesion, the procedure takes about 10-20 minutes. Laser removal of skin lesions is a safe, painless, and effective method for achieving excellent aesthetic results.
- Removal of growths with nitrogen (cryotherapy): During cryotherapy, skin growths are removed using liquid nitrogen. Liquid nitrogen can reach temperatures as low as -196 degrees Celsius to destroy skin lesion cells. Cryotherapy is most commonly used to remove warts or seborrheic keratoses. The procedure is slightly painful and may leave a scar or slight discoloration of the skin.
- Removal of lesions by radiosurgery: during the procedure, an electrode is used that does not physically touch the skin, and the incision is made using radio waves. The generator uses a frequency of 4.0 MHz, which is more than 8 times higher than that of electrosurgical devices. This incision allows the tissues to heal with minimal postoperative pain and scarring, and also shortens the duration of the operation. After removal of the lesion, healthy skin forms within a week, leaving no scar. The use of surgical radiofrequency technology ensures unmatched precision, versatility, and safety.
- Surgical removal of lesions: this method is usually chosen when malignancy is suspected. The operation is performed under local anesthesia, with painkillers administered only to the area where the lesion will be removed. The suspected lesion is excised and sent for histological examination, and the wound is sutured with special sutures. Ten to fourteen days after the operation, during a follow-up visit, the sutures are removed and the results of the histological examination are discussed.
During the consultation, the doctor will help you decide which procedure is most suitable for you. At OST KLINIKA, we only work with proven, certified products to ensure the best results after the procedure.
