Skin Tag & Skin Lump Removal in Sydney

Assessment-first removal planning for skin tags, raised lumps, raised moles, lip growths, eyelid tags and other benign-looking lesions in Chatswood, Hurstville and Sydney.

A small lump can be irritating, visible in photos, catch on jewellery or clothing, or sit in a delicate area such as the eyelid or lip. At Medical Aesthetics 360, the first step is to assess what is being treated, whether removal is suitable, and which method best supports a neat cosmetic outcome.

Overview

What Can Be Treated?

Removal may be suitable for selected lesions that are uncomfortable, catch on clothing or jewellery, become repeatedly irritated, bleed from friction, or affect the appearance of the skin. Suitability is confirmed after assessment.

  • Skin tags
  • Raised moles
  • Small raised bumps or lumps
  • Superficial keratoses
  • Selected benign-looking lesions after assessment

Common Treatment Areas

Visible and friction-prone areas need different planning. The face, eyelids and lip area are more delicate, while body folds may be more prone to rubbing and recurrence.

  • Face, eyelids and lip area
  • Neck and underarms
  • Chest, back and under-breast folds
  • Inner thighs and groin area
  • Scalp, hairline and areas catching on accessories
Professional assessment matters. Not every skin tag, skin lump, mole or raised lesion should be treated the same way. The best method depends on lesion type, thickness, body location, diagnostic confidence and healing goals.
Treatment methods

Erbium:YAG and CO2 Laser Planning

The best approach is not one device for everything. The method should match the lesion, the area treated and the desired healing outcome.

Erbium:YAG Laser

Erbium:YAG laser is often considered for selected superficial or raised lesions, particularly where controlled treatment and cosmetic finish are important.

  • Useful for selected facial and visible-area lesions
  • Precise tissue targeting
  • Controlled removal approach
  • Often chosen where cosmetic outcome is important

CO2 Laser

CO2 laser may be considered for thicker or more fibrous lesions, depending on the doctor's assessment, lesion type and healing priorities.

  • May suit selected thicker lesions
  • May assist with larger skin tags or raised bumps
  • Chosen according to lesion type and location
  • Treatment is planned with aftercare and scar risk in mind

Results and healing

What Healing Can Look Like

A strong result is about both removal and how well the skin heals afterwards. Depending on the lesion and treatment area, the skin may look pink, slightly raw, dry or lightly scabbed during the early healing phase.

This usually improves as the skin recovers. Residual pinkness can continue to settle over time, particularly in visible or delicate areas.

What to Expect After Treatment

  • Mild redness or pinkness in the treated area
  • Possible dryness, light crusting or superficial scabbing
  • Healing time varies depending on lesion size and location
  • Sun protection and aftercare are important
  • Individual healing and results vary from person to person
FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Why do I need a consultation first?

A consultation allows the lesion to be assessed so the safest and most suitable treatment pathway can be recommended.

Can all skin tags and moles be treated the same way?

No. The most appropriate method depends on lesion type, size, thickness, body location, skin type and healing considerations.

Will there be scarring?

Every skin procedure can carry some possibility of marking. The aim is to achieve the neatest cosmetic result possible with careful planning, precise treatment and appropriate aftercare.

Is there downtime?

Downtime is often minimal for many patients, but redness, dryness, crusting, tenderness or residual pinkness can occur during healing.

How much does treatment cost?

Pricing varies depending on lesion type, number, size, location and recommended method. A personalised quote is provided after assessment.
