Is cyst removal for you?
Cysts are skin growths that are usually completely harmless but can look unsightly. They can become troublesome if they catch on clothing or you cut them while shaving. They can also be situated in a prominent place, making you feel self-conscious about the way you look. You may want to take this step now because you have noticed changes in shape or colour, or it may be unsightly, painful or restricting your movement. You might have just become fed up with it, and decided it’s time to deal with it. Our expert cosmetic surgeons will tailor the removal technique they use depending on the type, size and location of your cyst. Moles and larger lesions are usually removed with a scalpel, the wound closed with stitches and then covered with a temporary dressing. Warts will be usually frozen off with cold liquid nitrogen gas or destroyed with a precision high-energy laser while skin tags are normally 'snipped' off with surgical scissors.
