Healthy Skin Starts with Expert Care
At InMySkin Wellness & Aesthetics, we provide safe, effective removal of benign skin lesions that may be uncomfortable, irritating, or impact your confidence. While these growths may be non-cancerous, they can snag on clothing, bleed when irritated, or simply be unwanted. Our treatments are designed to remove them comfortably, restore smooth skin, and help you feel more confident in your appearance.
Schedule your consultation today to get started.
Understanding Benign Skin Lesions
A benign lesion is a growth or spot on the skin that is non-cancerous. While harmless to your health, many patients choose removal for cosmetic, comfort, or practical reasons. It is always important to have any new, changing, or irregular lesion evaluated to confirm it is benign before removal.
Common Types of Benign Skin Lesions We Treat
We offer treatments for a wide variety of benign lesions, including:
- Cysts: Benign, fluid- or semi-solid–filled sacs beneath the skin that present as smooth, round lumps. They are usually slow growing and painless, but may become inflamed or uncomfortable if infected.
- Skin Tags (Acrochordons): Soft, skin-coloured growths that often form in skin folds such as the neck, underarms, or groin. Caused by friction, they become more common with age and hormonal changes.
- Seborrheic keratoses: Waxy, wart-like growths that can appear brown, black, or tan. Often called “age spots” or “barnacles,” they are common with aging and may appear anywhere except the palms and soles.
- Actinic Keratosis: A precancerous skin lesion caused by long-term sun exposure. It appears as a rough, scaly patch on sun-exposed areas and may be tender. Early treatment is recommended to prevent progression to skin cancer.
- Cherry angiomas: Small, bright red bumps caused by clusters of blood vessels. While harmless, they can bleed when scratched and often increase in number with age.
- Milia: Tiny, white, hard bumps just under the skin, usually around the eyes or cheeks. They form when keratin becomes trapped under the surface.
- Benign moles (Naevus): Even-coloured, symmetrical moles that remain stable in size and shape. While most are harmless, removal may be chosen for cosmetic improvement or comfort.
- Lipomas: Benign, slow-growing fatty lumps that form beneath the skin. They are soft, smooth, and movable, found commonly on the neck, shoulders, back, arms, or thighs. Lipomas are typically painless and non-cancerous and are treated only if symptomatic or for cosmetic concerns.
Benign Lesion Removal Treatments at InMySkin
At InMySkin, we select the removal method based on the type, size, and location of the lesion, as well as your skin type and comfort preferences..
- Cryotherapy: Lesions are frozen with liquid nitrogen, causing them to gradually shrink and fall away.
- Electrocautery: A gentle heat current is applied to remove or seal tissue, ideal for small growths like skin tags.
- Laser removal: Light-based energy is directed at pigment or blood vessels within the lesion to break them down safely.
- Surgical excision: A precise cut removes the lesion in full, sometimes requiring a stitch. This method is often used for moles for complete removal.
