Surgical removal of skin imperfections

This minor surgical procedure is performed for both medical and aesthetic reasons. It’s designed for individuals who wish to improve their appearance and overall comfort. The procedure involves removing the skin mark or growth within visibly healthy tissue margins. If the lesion appears potentially malignant, the surgeon will remove it with an additional margin of approximately 5 mm of healthy tissue. After the procedure, the doctor applies sutures and a sterile dressing. The excised tissue is then sent—at an additional cost—for histopathological examination at INVICTA’s certified Medical Diagnostic Laboratory. No hospitalization is required, and patients can return home the same day.

Is this tight for you?

Surgical removal of skin imperfections is ideal for individuals who wish to remove:

  • moles
  • skin tags and warts
  • inflammatory growths such as cysts, lipomas, boils, and fibromas
  • pyogenic granulomas (vascular skin growths)

This treatment is suitable for both younger and mature patients.
It should always be preceded by a consultation with a specialist, during which the doctor will assess the condition of your skin and recommend a personalized treatment plan.

Treatment process

Step I: Disinfection

Step II: Local Anesthesia

Step III: Surgical Removal

Step IV: Sutures and Dressing

Results

The result of surgical skin imperfection removal is the permanent elimination of the targeted concern.
For individuals undergoing the procedure due to suspected malignancy, the benefit is the precise collection of a tissue sample for further histopathological analysis.

Post-Treatment Care

  • Protect the treated area from any trauma, friction, or contamination.
  • Attend your scheduled follow-up appointment for clinical evaluation, dressing change, and/or suture removal. Until then, avoid getting the area wet.
  • Perform daily wound care and dressing changes at home, strictly following your doctor’s instructions.
  • Avoid intense physical activity for approximately 3–4 weeks to support proper healing.
  • After 14 days following suture removal, begin gentle scar massage and moisturizing as recommended.
  • Protect the area from UV exposure using high-SPF sunscreen or clothing.

Contraindications

Surgical removal of skin imperfections is not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding. The procedure is also contraindicated for individuals who are allergic to local anesthetics or have active inflammation in the treatment area. The procedure should be postponed if the patient has had an active herpes outbreak within two weeks prior to the appointment or is currently experiencing an infection requiring antibiotics (including treatment within the past month). The treatment is strictly contraindicated for patients with severe systemic diseases, organ failure, or uncontrolled chronic conditions such as diabetes or hypertension.

Patients with blood clotting disorders or those taking anticoagulant medications may be eligible for surgery only after prior consultation with their primary care physician or cardiologist. In some cases, temporary discontinuation or substitution of the medication may be advised.

Stay one step ahead – schedule your procedure at the INVICTA Anti-Aging Clinic and protect yourself from potential skin cancer.

Skin changes can have various causes and may differ in nature, which is why they should be regularly evaluated by a doctor. An annual skin check-up is strongly recommended. It’s especially important to examine moles and other marks after the summer months, when the skin has been exposed to increased sun exposure.
