Mole and Skin Lesion Removal
Skin Redefined is one of only a small number of clinics offering skin tag removal in Cheltenham, a need which has grown since the NHS stopped treating skin tags, moles and other skin lesions for cosmetic reasons.
At Skin Redefined, Cheltenham, we are happy to offer treatment of benign skin lesions using advanced electrolysis, a type of gentle, precise, electrocautery. All treatments are carried by Nurse Practitioner and Prescriber, Kelly Whittaker. Kelly is an experienced Nurse of 12 years and has undertaken additional training in identification of skin lesions and accredited by MASCED.
Advanced electrolysis can be used to treat the following skin blemishes:
-
skin tags
-
warts
-
seborrheic keratosis
-
cherry angiomas/campbell de morgan spots
-
pigmentation
-
moles
-
facial thread veins/spider veins
-
xanthelasma
-
syringoma

How does advanced electrolysis work?
A fine needle probe is used to dry out and cauterise the area. The lesion will turn into a scab which will fall off within a week or two. Several sessions may be required, 3 weeks apart to allow for healing in between. For some lesions, we recommend a check by a GP or dermatologist prior to any treatment.
Is it painful to have a skin tag or mole removed?
Having a mole or other skin lesion removed isn't generally painful, although some mild discomfort is expected.
