Skin Lesions
One of London's leading clinics for skin lesion removal. A lesion is confirmed by careful examination and the latest diagnostic tests before anything is removed, then treated by minor surgery or laser for the best cosmetic outcome.
What a lesion is
Diagnosis before removal.
A lesion is an area of skin with an abnormal growth or appearance compared with the skin around it, often a bump or a patch. Through careful physical examination and the latest diagnostic tests we confirm the diagnosis of a range of benign skin lesions, advise on the best way to remove them, and then complete the procedure (minor skin surgery or laser) to achieve the best cosmetic outcome.
Examination and diagnostic testing come first. Knowing exactly what a lesion is determines whether, and how, it should be removed.
Accurate diagnosisThe removal method is chosen for the cosmetic outcome as well as the clinical one, which is why both surgical and laser routes are available here.
Cosmetic outcomeBenign does not mean you have to live with it. Syringomas, skin tags, warts and moles are all commonly removed for cosmetic reasons.
Benign but visibleOur evaluation differentiates conditions with overlapping appearances (syringomas from Fordyce spots or milia, for example) before any treatment is chosen.
Look-alike conditionsWhat we remove
Five removal procedures.
At Dr Jinah Yoo Dermatology we specialise in removing benign skin lesions. Our approach begins with a comprehensive evaluation, ensuring an accurate diagnosis before treatment.
Warts
Effective wart removal using advanced treatments tailored to the specific needs of each patient. Our expert skin doctors provide safe, precise care for optimal results: smooth, healthy skin and confidence restored.
Moles
Expert mole removal with personalised care to achieve safe, precise and aesthetically pleasing results.
Sun spots
Safe and effective laser pigmentation removal designed to minimise the appearance of sun spots and restore a more balanced skin tone, targeting pigmentation while promoting overall skin health.
Skin tags
Advanced techniques prioritising safety, precision and comfort, removing skin tags with minimal chance of scarring and a focus on maintaining the health of the surrounding skin.
Syringomas
Benign growths caused by overactive sweat glands, most often small, firm bumps on the lower eyelids or upper cheeks. Harmless, but their location and appearance can affect confidence, and they are commonly mistaken for Fordyce spots or milia.
Decided after evaluation
Minor skin surgery or laser: the method follows the diagnosis, the site and the cosmetic outcome you want, and is discussed with you before anything is done.
“A lesion should never be removed before it is understood. What it is decides how it should come off, and how the skin will look afterwards.”
