Most skin formations are harmless and do not require removal. However, your dermatologist may recommend that you have a tumor removed if it makes you uncomfortable or if you have doubts about whether it is benign.
The indications for the removal of neoplasm can be divided into medical and cosmetic ones.
The indications for removal include:
- Neoplasms in the places where they can be easily traumatized. For example, while shaving or in the places of friction with clothes. It is also recommended to remove pigmented moles to prevent the development of melanoma.
- Viral skin diseases - papillomas, warts, condyloma acuminata, and molluscum contagiosum.
- Removal of keratomas, hemangiomas, lipomas, and xanthelasmas for aesthetic reasons.
The methods of neoplasm removal:
A neoplasm on the skin can be removed in one of the following ways:
Laser Destruction.
The Excellence clinics use the latest technology and state-of-the-art equipment to remove new growths: fractional DEKA Lazer and laser coagulator Lika Surgeon. Laser destruction allows removal of neoplasms even in hard-to-reach places.
The advantages of the method include:
- Absence of bleeding.
- Pinpoint exposure which allows us to deal with tumors without affecting healthy areas of the skin.
- The use of local anesthesia minimizes pain.
- The recovery process is quick and painless.
The radio wave method.
This is a modern, effective and safe method. Removal of neoplasms in Kiev by radio wave method is carried out using a radiosurgical knife. The principle of its work is based on the emission of radio waves of high frequency under the influence of which the tumors evaporate. The action of radio waves during the procedure is strictly directional. The cells that are not targeted by the radio waves remain undamaged. This results in minimal trauma to neighboring tissues. The wave frequency is chosen individually depending on the type, size, and location of the tumor.
If necessary, the procedure is performed under local anesthesia, so it is painless. In addition, the removal occurs without bleeding and damages the surrounding healthy skin. The radio-wave method allows you to send the neoplasm for histological examination, since it has a minimal level of tissue necrosis. The average duration of a session is about 20-30 minutes.
Removal by surgery (excision).
This is a radical method of removing neoplasm with a scalpel. The method of surgical excision is the most effective in the removal of certain types of skin formations and helps detect pathological processes in the neoplasm and the surrounding tissues by 100%.
Cryosurgery.
This is a procedure of freezing the neoplasm with liquid nitrogen. An amount of liquid nitrogen is applied to the lesion for about ten seconds. After the skin growth is destroyed, a blister appears which will fall off in 1-2 weeks. There is no bleeding or pain during this procedure, and there is no need for special preparation or anesthesia.
The advantages of cryoablation are:
- painless and minimally traumatic procedure.
- short recovery period.
- a minimum of contraindications.
- affordable prices.
At the consultation, a specialist will determine which method of removal suits you best. This depends on the type of neoplasm and its location on the body. The removal of neoplasms in Kiev at MCC Excellence is performed exclusively by a dermatologist using modern professional equipment.
