Age Warts & Benign Lesion Removal

At Shades Dermatology, we offer safe and effective removal of benign skin lesions, including Age warts (Seborrhoeic keratoses), skin tags, and other non-cancerous growths. These lesions are common and typically harmless, but may become cosmetically bothersome or physically irritating—especially in areas prone to friction such as the neck, underarms, or eyelids.

Clinical Assessment & Diagnosis

All procedures begin with a thorough dermatological assessment to confirm the nature of the lesion and determine the most appropriate treatment approach. Our team is experienced in diagnosing a wide range of benign growths, including:

• Seborrhoeic keratoses (age warts)

• Skin tags

• Epidermoid cysts

• Lipomas

• Pilar cysts

• Sebaceous cysts

• Other benign or precancerous skin lesions

Treatment Options

Removal techniques are selected based on the size, location, and type of lesion. Options may include:

• Cryotherapy (freezing)

• Electrosurgery (cautery)

• Excision

• CO₂ laser treatment for precision removal, especially in delicate areas or when treating multiple lesions

All procedures are performed under local anaesthesia in our purpose-built treatment rooms, ensuring minimal discomfort and optimal cosmetic outcomes.
