About the procedure
Similar-looking skin lesions may have different causes and require different treatments. Dermatology assessment may include dermoscopy. Depending on the lesion, the doctor may discuss cryodestruction, radiofrequency or surgical removal, among the methods described by the clinic.
Your consultation
Explain how long the lesion has been present, whether it has changed and any previous treatment in that area. Its location, size and the need for tissue analysis influence the choice of procedure.
What to expect
- Examine the lesion and clarify the diagnosis or any investigations still needed.
- Discuss the indication, proposed method and possible histological examination of tissue.
- Agree on the procedure and the plan for results, aftercare and review.
Recovery and follow-up
Healing depends on the method and treated area. The doctor explains aftercare, possible restrictions and the review date; instructions are not identical for every lesion.
What to consider
Removal can leave scars or pigment changes, and some lesions may recur. Method selection considers diagnosis, location and the need for tissue examination.
Common questions
Can every mole be removed with a laser?
There is no universal method. Assessment and any need for histology determine the appropriate options.
Will I receive a laboratory result?
If tissue examination is indicated, clarify collection, the laboratory and how the result will be discussed.
Discuss the cost before treatment.
Ask for an estimate for your case and clarify what is included: consultations, the procedure, investigations and follow-up visits. The plan and final cost are agreed after assessment.
