Skin lesion removal is a precise procedure designed to eliminate unwanted or problematic skin growths, restoring a smooth and even skin surface. At HAVA Aesthetics in Esher, Surrey, Dr. Hadeel Nimaa offers a range of safe and effective treatment options, including minor surgical procedures, for removing lesions that may be present for cosmetic reasons or due to irritation, discomfort, or medical concern.
Whether you are seeking to improve your skin’s appearance or to address a lesion that changes in size, shape, or colour, our tailored treatment plan ensures you receive the most appropriate care. Each case is individually assessed to determine the safest and most effective approach, prioritising both skin health and aesthetic results.

Types of Skin Lesions We Treat
We can treat a wide range of skin imperfections, including:
• Seborrheic keratosis – harmless but often unsightly brown or black growths
• Age spots – pigmentation changes that may appear with age or sun exposure
• Raised or textured skin blemishes
• Benign moles (see our mole removal page for more detail)
• Lesions causing discomfort due to friction with clothing or jewellery
Skin Lesion Removal Techniques at HAVA Aesthetics
Surgical Excision
For lesions requiring complete removal, surgical excision may be recommended. This involves removing the lesion and a small margin of surrounding skin under local anaesthetic. The wound is then carefully closed with fine sutures to minimise scarring. This method is also useful for preventing recurrence and for ensuring the lesion can be sent for histological analysis if necessary.
CryoPen Removal
Some lesions, such as seborrheic keratosis or certain pigmented blemishes, can be treated using CryoPen technology. This non-invasive device uses targeted cryotherapy to freeze unwanted tissue without harming the surrounding healthy skin, leading to natural removal over time.
In other cases, minor procedures such as curettage or shave excision may be recommended, offering safe and precise removal depending on the type and depth of the lesion.
Benefits of Skin Lesion Removal
• Improves the appearance of skin imperfections for a smoother look
• Can be part of a broader skin rejuvenation plan alongside aesthetic treatments such as dermal filler or advanced facials
• Addresses lesions causing discomfort or self-consciousness
• Reduces the risk of irritation from friction in areas such as the neck, underarms, or face
• Offers a choice of treatment options to suit the lesion type and your skin
Risks and Recovery
All skin procedures carry some degree of risk, though these are minimal when performed by an experienced medical practitioner such as Dr. Hadeel Nimaa. Potential side effects may include mild redness, swelling, or temporary pigment changes in the treated area. There is also a small risk of keloid scarring, particularly for patients with a history of such scarring.
Recovery depends on the method used:
• Surgical excision: A few days to two weeks, with stitches typically removed within 7–14 days
• CryoPen removal: Minimal downtime, with natural healing occurring over 1–4 weeks
• Curettage or shave excision: Usually quick recovery with small surface wounds that heal within 1–2 weeks, often leaving minimal marks

Frequently asked questions
Is skin lesion removal painful?
At HAVA Aesthetics, your patient comfort is always a priority. We perform most skin lesion removal procedures under local anaesthesia, meaning the area is fully numbed before treatment begins. This ensures you will feel little to no discomfort during the procedure.
How long is the recovery period after skin lesion removal?
The recovery period depends on the method used. For surgical excision, healing usually takes 7–14 days, while CryoPen removal may require only a few days to a few weeks for the skin to fully heal. We will provide detailed aftercare guidance to support optimal healing.
Will I have a scar after skin lesion removal?
Any procedure that breaks the skin can leave a mark, but our advanced techniques minimise scarring. If needed, we can also discuss scar revision treatments in the future to further improve the appearance of the area.
Why would someone remove a skin lesion for cosmetic reasons?
Some lesions may cause self-consciousness or affect skin smoothness, particularly on visible areas like the face or neck. Removing these can improve confidence and allow for a more even skin texture, complementing other treatments such as skin rejuvenation or injectables.
What aftercare is needed following skin lesion removal?
We recommend keeping the area clean, avoiding picking or scratching, and protecting the skin from sun exposure during the recovery period. If stitches are used, they will be removed at a follow-up appointment. Specific aftercare will be tailored to your procedure type and skin needs.
