Soft, small growths that often appear in skin folds like the neck, armpits, or groin.
Seborrheic Keratoses
Rough, wart-like growths that appear as you age.
Cysts
Fluid-filled lumps that develop beneath the skin.

Soft, fatty lumps that grow slowly under the skin.

Removal Options
Benign Lesion Removal Options
Our dermatologists use advanced, minimally invasive techniques to ensure a smooth removal process with little to no downtime. Depending on the type, size, and location of your lesion, we may recommend:
Cryotherapy (Freezing Treatment)
Liquid nitrogen is applied to freeze and remove the lesion.
Commonly used for warts, seborrheic keratoses, and some moles.
Laser Treatment
Offers precise removal with minimal impact on surrounding skin.
Non-invasive option for certain types of pigmented or raised lesions.
Excision (Surgical Removal)
The lesion is carefully cut out using a scalpel.
Best for moles, cysts, lipomas, and larger skin growths.
Electrosurgery (Cauterization)
Uses controlled heat to remove the lesion and seal the skin.
Often used for skin tags and seborrheic keratoses.
