Understand the approach.

Lift’s original guidance requires a clear skin check before proceeding with removal of an elevated benign skin lesion. The clinic describes using radiofrequency for suitable lesions.

The first decision is whether a lesion is benign and whether cosmetic removal is appropriate. A changing or suspicious lesion may need a different assessment, investigation or referral.

What we can discuss

  • Assessment of the lesion
  • A skin check before removal
  • Options for suitable benign skin tags or raised lesions

Before you decide.

Your assessment

Discuss how long the lesion has been present, any changes and previous skin checks. Ask what diagnosis has been made, whether further investigation is needed and how removal would be performed.

Recovery & aftercare

Healing depends on the lesion and removal method. Ask about wound care, sun protection, possible marks or scarring and when to arrange a follow-up.

Risks & suitability

Removal can leave scarring or changes in pigmentation and may involve bleeding or infection. A cosmetic procedure should not replace diagnosis of a suspicious lesion.

A little more clarity

Your questions,
answered.

Do I need a skin check first?

Yes. The clinic’s existing guidance requires a clear skin check before proceeding with cosmetic removal.

Can every mole be removed cosmetically?

No. The lesion must be assessed first. Some lesions may require investigation or a different medical pathway.

Will removal leave a mark?

Scarring and pigment changes are possible. Discuss the expected healing and cosmetic trade-offs for the specific lesion.
