Large Lesions, Skin Tags and Wart Removal at Aesthetics of Essex

This depends on the type, size and number of lesions being treated. Many skin tags and smaller warts are removed in a single appointment, while larger or more stubborn lesions may need a short course of treatment. Your practitioner at Aesthetics of Essex will let you know at your consultation.

Most people describe mild discomfort rather than significant pain, and local anaesthetic can be used if needed. Some tenderness in the treated area afterwards is normal, and it usually settles quickly.

As warts are caused by a virus that can remain in the surrounding skin, it’s possible for a new wart to appear nearby or elsewhere on the body over time.

Skin tags and other lesions can also develop again in the future, but it isn’t guaranteed.

Most people can get back to their normal daily activities straight away. It’s worth allowing 1 to 2 weeks for the treated area to heal fully, and your practitioner will give you specific aftercare advice for the area treated.

Some scarring is possible, particularly with larger lesions or surgical excision, though many smaller skin tags and warts heal with little to no visible mark. Your practitioner can talk you through what to expect for your specific lesion at your consultation.

Skin tags, warts and other minor lesions are commonly treated using either cryotherapy (freezing) or minor surgical excision, depending on the lesion. One of our experienced team members will confirm which approach is right for you at your consultation.

The dermoscope we use was developed and tested over two design phases and has since been used in the UK to capture images suitable for remote skin lesion assessment.
