If you are unsure what a skin lesion is, a consultation is the best place to start. We will assess the lesion, explain the likely diagnosis and recommend the most appropriate treatment plan.
Treatments We Offer
Skin Lesion Excision
For benign or suspicious skin lesions that require complete removal, we offer precise surgical excision with careful closure planning to achieve the best possible healing outcome.
Lipoma Removal
Lipomas are common fatty lumps beneath the skin. If a lipoma is uncomfortable, enlarging, visible or bothersome, we can assess and remove it surgically.
Skin Biopsy Services
If a lesion needs diagnosis before definitive treatment,
we offer:
• Shave biopsy • Skin biopsy
Biopsy can help clarify the diagnosis and guide next steps.
Foreign Body Removal
For retained material or deeper embedded foreign bodies in the skin or subcutaneous tissue, we offer assessment and surgical removal where indicated.
Hyperhidrosis Treatment
For excessive sweating, we offer botulinum toxin treatment for hyperhidrosis in suitable patients following consultation.
Scar Revision
Where appropriate, scar revision may improve the appearance, contour or symptoms of a scar.
Benign Lesion Removal
We remove a wide range of benign skin lesions where treatment is recommended for symptoms, irritation, recurrent trauma, diagnosis or cosmetic reasons.
Curettage / Cryotherapy

Secondary Suture / Wound Review
For selected cases, we provide secondary suture of skin and wound management where clinically appropriate.
