Lesion Removal & Minor Surgical Procedures
Lesion removal and other minor surgical procedures are commonly performed to remove abnormal skin growths, such as moles, warts, cysts, and other benign or potentially harmful lesions. These procedures are typically performed in-office and do not require sedation, making them convenient and minimally invasive. At Revere Health, we provide expert lesion removal and minor surgical services to address various skin conditions, ensuring patient comfort and safety throughout the process.
Types of Lesions and Growths Removed
Moles: Benign growths on the skin that may be removed for cosmetic reasons or if there are concerns about cancerous changes.
Warts: Caused by viral infections, warts can be removed to prevent spreading or if they cause discomfort.
Cysts: Non-cancerous lumps filled with fluid or other material that may become painful or infected.
Skin Tags: Small, harmless growths that are often removed for cosmetic reasons or if they cause irritation.
Lipomas: Benign fatty tumors that may be removed if they become large or uncomfortable.
Minor Surgical Procedures Offered
Excision: The lesion or abnormal growth is carefully cut out using a scalpel, ensuring complete removal. Stitches may be required to close the wound.
Cryotherapy: Liquid nitrogen is used to freeze and remove warts, skin tags, or small growths.
Shave Removal: A specialized tool is used to shave off raised lesions like moles or skin tags at the surface of the skin.
Biopsy: A small sample of the skin or lesion is removed and sent for laboratory analysis to check for cancerous or pre-cancerous cells.
Benefits of Lesion Removal & Minor Procedures
Quick and Convenient: These procedures are performed in-office, usually taking less than an hour with minimal recovery time.
No Sedation Required: Patients remain awake and comfortable, with local anesthesia used to numb the area during the procedure.
Effective Results: The removal of abnormal lesions can prevent further complications and provide cosmetic improvements.
