A DIFFERENT KIND OF AESTHETIC CLINIC
A Medical Approach
to Skin Lesion Removal
Benign skin lesion removal should begin with medical assessment, not simply cosmetic treatment. Dr Nadia combines a background in surgical training with practical dermatology and dermoscopy to assess lesions before deciding whether removal is appropriate.
The aim is to identify what the lesion is, decide whether it is suitable for treatment in clinic, choose the safest method and recognise when a lesion needs monitoring, histology or referral rather than cosmetic removal.
- Clinical lesion assessment
- Doctor-led medical review
- Safety and suitability first
- Treatment method selected around lesion type and location
- Clear aftercare and follow-up advice
WHAT LESIONS DO WE REMOVE?
Benign Lesions Assessed
With a Medical Eye
The exact treatment offered depends on the lesion diagnosis, location, size, symptoms and whether removal is medically appropriate.
Skin Tags
Soft benign growths that often occur in areas of friction.
Seborrhoeic Keratoses
Common waxy or rough benign growths that become more frequent with age.
Common Warts
Benign viral growths, often affecting hands or fingers.
Verrucas
Plantar warts on the soles of the feet that can become painful or persistent.
Cherry Angiomas
Small red or purple vascular spots that are common and benign.
Milia
Small keratin cysts, commonly seen around the eyes and cheeks.
Solar Lentigines
Benign age or sun spots caused by cumulative sun exposure.
Other Benign Lesions
Other clinically benign lesions can be assessed and treatment options discussed where appropriate.
WHAT THIS CONSULTATION ASSESSES
Diagnosis Comes
Before Treatment
The consultation is designed to establish what the lesion is and whether removal is appropriate before any procedure is planned.
What the Lesion Is
Clinical examination and dermoscopic assessment where appropriate.
Whether It Is Safe to Remove
Assessment for features that may require a different pathway.
Location & Size
Treatment choice considers where the lesion sits and how large or deep it is.
Best Removal Approach
The most appropriate treatment method is selected after diagnosis.
Whether Histology Is Needed
Some lesions may require tissue analysis rather than simple cosmetic removal.
Whether Referral Is Better
If the lesion is unsuitable for in-clinic removal, referral or further investigation can be recommended.
THIS IS A MEDICAL PROCEDURE
Clinical Care From
Assessment to Healing
Skin lesion removal is a medical procedure. The priority is correct assessment, an appropriate treatment method and safe aftercare, not simply removing something because it is visible.
- Doctor-led assessment and treatment
- Procedure and wound-care guidance
- Clear discussion of risks and expected healing
- Review where clinically required
01
Medical Assessment
The lesion is examined first. Treatment is never based on appearance alone.
02
Discuss Options & Risks
Dr Nadia explains the appropriate treatment pathway, expected healing, scarring risk and whether further investigation is needed.
03
Procedure Planning
If suitable, the lesion removal procedure is planned around lesion type, location and individual factors.
04
Aftercare & Follow-Up
You receive clear wound care instructions, what to expect during healing and when further review is advised.
WHY MEDICAL ASSESSMENT MATTERS
Not Every Skin Lesion
Should Be Removed the Same Way
Medical assessment helps avoid inappropriate cosmetic treatment and ensures concerning or uncertain lesions are managed through the correct pathway.
What Assessment Helps Avoid
- Removing a lesion without a diagnosis
- Treating a suspicious lesion as purely cosmetic
- Choosing a technique that is unsuitable for the lesion
- Ignoring the possibility that histology or referral may be needed
What Assessment Supports
- Appropriate diagnosis and treatment planning
- A discussion of expected healing and scarring
- Recognition of lesions requiring further investigation
- Safer treatment decisions and clearer follow-up
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Questions About
Minor Skin Procedures
Is my skin lesion suitable for removal?
Suitability depends on the diagnosis, lesion type, size, location, symptoms and whether any features need further investigation. Assessment comes first.
How are lesions removed safely?
The treatment method is chosen after assessment. Dr Nadia will explain why a particular approach is appropriate and what healing to expect.
Will I need stitches?
That depends on the lesion and removal method. Some procedures may not require stitches, while others may. This is discussed before treatment.
Will it leave a scar?
Any procedure that breaks the skin can leave a mark or scar. The likely cosmetic outcome and scar risk are discussed before treatment.
How long does the procedure take?
Timing varies according to the lesion, number of lesions and treatment method. You will receive an individual plan after assessment.
Is the procedure painful?
Comfort measures and, where appropriate, local anaesthetic are discussed as part of your treatment plan.

CONCERNED ABOUT A SKIN LESION?
The First Step Is
Assessment, Not Removal
If you have a lesion you are unsure about, book an assessment first. Dr Nadia can examine it, explain what it appears to be and advise whether removal, monitoring or another pathway is appropriate.
