SCARLESS MOLE & SKIN TAG REMOVAL

COSMETIC MOLE RADIOSURGERY WITH OPTIMAL RESULTS

Many people dislike raised moles and skin tags on their face or visible parts of the body. Sometimes these lesions are located in areas that rub against clothing or bra straps, which causes discomfort. For this reason, we receive lots of enquiries about the ability to remove these lesions safely and without scarring. Radiosurgery is a quick, painless and scarless technique to remove these lesions.

ScarLess Radiosurgery used for:

Raised benign moles
Skin tags
Lesions unwanted on any part of the body

We do not remove flat moles or freckles with Radiosurgery, however we offer other treatments to lighten this type of pigmentation. Please note also that we will not treat any mole or lesion that has undergone a change in colour, shape or size. In this instance we will suggest a shave biopsy be taken with pathology testing, to ensure an all-clear, prior to treatment.

RESULTS

The removal of moles or skin tags from the face will generally result in perfectly flat and blended results, especially when post-treatment recommendations are followed. The skin on the body typically takes longer to heal (compared to the face) and the treated area may be slightly paler than surrounding skin. If any brown or pinkish colour remains, it is possible to treat with laser or light therapy until the area is near invisible and without any noticeable scar.

HOW DOES RADIOSURGERY WORK?

Radiosurgery uses radiofrequency to manually shave or excise the lesion, whilst cauterising surrounding tissue. This means no scalpel or blade cutting, minimal bleeding and no need for sutures, which significantly reduces the chance of scar tissue developing.

TREATMENT OVERVIEW

Consultation:

Mole and lesion removal is a Doctor-only procedure
Discuss your skin type and history of lesions
Assess lesions. Identify if any require biopsy
Assess removal suitability

Treatment (15mins-1hour):

✔ Painless

✔ No downtime

Your Doctor will inject a small amount of local anaesthetic and the lesion(s) will be removed via a variety of Radiosurgery techniques depending upon the nature, size and elevation. Most often we use a wire loop to shave and scoop the lesion, other times we use a wire tip to excise the area. There is no cutting of the skin and no sutures are required. Lesions are removed just below normal skin level, which allows new skin to heal over smooth and level with surrounding tissue.

Post-Treatment:

Whilst Radiosurgery cauterizes the surrounding tissue, you may notice some pin point bleeding on the first or second day. This will stop if you apply pressure and use band-aides.
Keep the wound moist by dabbing Vaseline or antiseptic wound cream and cover the treated area with a sterile band-aid until fully healed. You may replace the band-aid every few days to keep it clean, but please do not pick at the scab.
We recommend silicone healing gel, which helps the new skin to heal smoothly and the redness to subside. This can be purchased from the clinic.
Full healing generally within 1-2 weeks (depending on location).
Remaining colour, can be treated with laser or light therapy.
Some large lesions will require a second treatment to ensure complete removal.
There may be lightening of the skin colour in the treated area, especially on the body and in olive or darker complexions.

HOW LONG WILL RESULTS LAST?

The removal of raised moles and other lesions using ScarLess Radiosurgery are generally lasting, however, persistent lesions may return after a period of years. If any do return, it is possible to retreat as required.
