Benign Skin Lesion Removal
What is Benign Skin Lesion Removal?
Benign skin lesion removals include the removal of cysts, lipomas, skin tags, and any other lesions that may bother you. You don’t need a medical reason for pursuing benign skin lesion removal; in fact, if the lesion bothers you from a cosmetic point of view, this minor procedure is a good choice for you.
The ultimate goal of benign skin lesion removal is to completely remove the lesion while minimizing post-op scarring. Patients who undergo benign skin lesion removal feel more confident about their skin and their appearance, making this a procedure that can be a real game-changer!
Twin Ports Dermatology can offer quick and easy treatments for patients who are interested in benign skin lesion removal.

The best candidates for benign skin lesion removal are individuals who are bothered by the appearance of a lesion, skin tag, mole, or any other imperfection.
How Does It Work?
