Lesion Care
Undesired lesions can appear in areas that are frequently observed by the public. Although often benign, lesions may impact the way we perceive ourselves. Fortunately, there are a few solutions available in helping to manage the moles, skin tags, keloids & other lesions that occupy space on our face & body
We Treat
Dermal naevi (Moles)
Generally raised and usually soft to the touch. They may be darker than or the same color as the surrounding skin. The may have a smooth or rough surface.
Dermal moles are common on the face, especially around the nose. They are occasionally hairy, and some people consider them to be unsightly.
Dermatosis papulosa nigra (DPN)
DPN's are benign hyperpigmented or skin-colored lesions that commonly develop on the face and neck beginning in adolescence. most commonly affecting people of African and Asian descent.
keloids
Keloid growth might be triggered by any sort of skin injury — an insect bite, acne, an injection, body piercing, burns, hair removal, and even minor scratches and bumps. The goal of treatment is to flatten, soften, or shrink the keloid. Keloids can be hard to get rid of. Sometimes they return after treatment. A combination of treatments may be needed for the best results.
Skin Tags (acrochordons)
Skin tags occur when extra cells grow in the top layers of the skin. They tend to develop when the skin rubs against itself, so are more common in people who are overweight and therefore have folds of skin. They grow both in men and women and are more common in older people and people living with type 2 diabetes.
