Skin Lesion Removal
What Is Skin Lesion Removal?
Skin lesion removal is a procedure used to safely remove abnormal or unwanted growths on the skin. These lesions can range from benign conditions like moles, skin tags, and birthmarks, to more noticeable growths such as warts and blisters. Depending on the type and size of the lesion, our team will use advanced techniques like excision, cryotherapy, or electrosurgery to safely and effectively treat the area.
