Our Minor Surgery clinics are available for removal of non-cancerous skin lesions.

These include a whole range of lesions including:

• Moles
• Cysts
• Lipomas
• Skin tags
• Dermatofibromas
• Seborrheic Keratosis
• Verrucas/warts

For moles, cysts and lipomas the cost of assessment for suitability for removal is £50 and this is taken off your final bill. Cost of removal of the lesion ranges from £300 dependant on the complexity of the removal. Any lesions requiring sutures the cost will include suture removal.

For skin tags, milia, molluscum and cherry angiomas these can be booked direct for Cryopen with our nursing team. The cost is £80 per session of Cryopen which will treat up to 3 lesions. Some lesions such as warts/verrucas and larger lesions may need more than one session. If the lesion isn’t suitable for removal with Cryopen you will be rebooked into a lesion assessment appointment.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) 

What Skin Lesions can you remove?

We can assess all skin lesions for removal- typically we would remove benign (non-cancerous) growths which would include cysts, lipomas, moles and seborrheic keratosis. Some basal cell carcinomas may be suitable for removal dependant on site and size of the lesion. Larger lesions and cysts can be removed by excision (requiring stitches) or curettage. Smaller lesions such as warts and skin tags can be frozen using Cryopen.

What do you do with lesions that don’t appear benign?

We can make direct referrals to the NHS cancer pathways for lesions that appear to have features of cancer- melanoma or squamous cell carcinoma

What is Cryopen?

Cryopen is targeted freezing treatment which is suitable for a range of benign (non cancerous) skin conditions. Lesions such as skin tags, milia, cherry angiomas, verrucas, warts, seborrheic keratosis can be removed quickly and safely.

What can I expect during my appointment?

During a skin assessment our community dermatology team, will assess your lesion, create a treatment plan and explain what to expect during your minor surgery appointment. Some lesions will need stitching and for those a stitch removal appointment is required 7-14 days after.

Is Cryopen painful?

Cryopen treatment is extremely quick- just a few seconds. During this time and for a few minutes afterwards there may be some stinging.

Is there anyone Cryopen is not suitable for?

It may not be appropriate for people with conditions such as collagen and autoimmune disease, rheumatoid arthritis, individuals previously treated with dermal fillers in the treatment area, and pregnant women. If you’re not sure then please email us on info@coastal-clinic.co.uk
