We use local anesthesia and optional topical numbing to minimize discomfort. Most patients report only mild pressure during the procedure and brief soreness afterward. Pain is typically manageable with over-the-counter analgesics and subsides quickly as healing progresses.

Appointment length varies with lesion size and complexity. After an initial consultation and assessment, most removals take 15–45 minutes. Complex or multiple lesions may require longer sessions or staged treatments; allow time for preparation and post-care instructions.

Scarring depends on lesion depth, size, and technique. We use precise, minimally invasive methods to reduce visible marks. Proper wound care, sun protection, and following aftercare instructions significantly minimize scarring; follow-up treatments can further improve appearance if needed.

Yes — our clinicians screen lesions during consultation. If a lesion appears suspicious, we perform excisional removal with biopsy and send tissue for pathology, or refer you promptly to a dermatologist or surgeon to ensure accurate diagnosis and care.

Recovery varies by procedure depth and location. Superficial removals often heal within 1–2 weeks, while excisions requiring stitches may need 1–3 weeks for initial healing. Follow aftercare guidelines, avoid sun exposure, and attend follow-up visits for best results.

Costs depend on lesion size, number, and whether pathology is required. During a consultation we provide a personalized estimate and discuss insurance coverage if removal is medically necessary. Financing or package options may be available for multiple lesions.
