At Medical Aesthetics 360, we assess skin tags, lip growths, eyelid tags and other raised lesions before recommending removal. We consider the diagnosis, location, skin type and healing history, so you can make an informed choice about comfort, appearance and scar risk.

If a lesion catches on jewellery or clothing, becomes repeatedly irritated, or affects the appearance of your skin, a consultation can help you understand your options. Selected benign lesions may be suitable for removal after assessment. Tell your doctor about any bleeding, even if it seems to follow friction.
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; new skin tags can also develop over time.
Your diagnosis comes first. For lesions suitable for laser treatment, your clinician can explain how Erbium:YAG or CO₂ relates to the lesion’s thickness, location and your healing priorities.
Erbium:YAG laser may be considered for selected superficial or raised lesions, particularly where controlled treatment and cosmetic finish are important.
CO₂ laser may be considered for thicker or more fibrous lesions, depending on the doctor's assessment, lesion type and healing priorities.

You do not need to arrive with a treatment chosen. Tell us what bothers you, and we will help you understand the next step.
We assess the lesion, ask about changes or symptoms, and review your medical history to determine whether removal is appropriate.
Discuss a method matched to size, thickness, location, skin type, diagnosis and cosmetic priorities. Benefits, alternatives, risks and fees are explained before you decide.
You receive instructions for wound care, scar care and sun protection, including when to seek review and who to contact with concerns.
Whether it is an irritating lump, a recurring neck tag or a delicate eyelid lesion, we can help you understand whether removal is appropriate.
Planning considers both removal and the appearance of the skin as it heals. Depending on the lesion and treatment area, the skin may look pink, slightly raw, dry or lightly scabbed during the early healing phase.
Early changes often settle as the skin recovers. Residual pinkness, colour changes or a scar can last longer, particularly in visible or delicate areas. Your clinician will explain the expected recovery for your procedure.
Follow your clinician’s dressing instructions and avoid rubbing or picking the treated skin. Ask when to resume shaving, makeup, exercise and your usual skincare.
Once the skin has closed, sun protection can help protect the healing area. Increasing pain, spreading redness, discharge or persistent bleeding needs clinical advice.
Read the skin tag & lesion aftercare guideCosmetic-minded treatment aims for a neat result, but any procedure that removes or treats skin can leave a mark. No technique can guarantee a completely scar-free outcome.
Raised, deep or long-standing lesions may heal differently. Highly mobile areas such as the lip need extra planning, and a history of raised scars or pigment changes matters.
Your fee depends on the lesion’s type, size, number and complexity, the removal method and whether further medical assessment is required.
A personalised quote is provided after assessment. Ask which consultation, procedure, pathology and follow-up fees apply to your proposed care.
Let your doctor know about changes to the lesion, medicines, previous removal attempts and any history of difficult healing. Discuss your schedule if you have an upcoming event or travel.

Practical answers to help you prepare for your consultation.
A consultation lets your clinician assess the lesion, review your history and discuss a suitable pathway. Similar-looking tags, moles and lumps can have different diagnoses; some need investigation or referral before removal.
No. The method depends on lesion type, size, thickness, location, skin type and healing considerations. A mole that needs laboratory examination may require biopsy or excision rather than laser treatment.
Any procedure that treats or removes skin can leave a temporary or lasting mark. Careful planning, precise treatment and aftercare aim to support neat healing, but scar-free results cannot be guaranteed. Changes in pigmentation or texture can also occur.
Some small lesions may involve limited interruption to daily activities, but redness, dryness, crusting, tenderness or residual pinkness can occur. Downtime depends on the method, number of lesions and treatment area. Ask about work, exercise, makeup and any upcoming events.
Pricing varies with the lesion type, number, size, location and recommended method. A personalised quote is provided after assessment. Ask whether consultation, pathology and follow-up fees are included.
New skin tags can develop, and a treated lesion may recur or need further review. If a growth returns or changes, arrange an assessment rather than assuming it is the same type of lesion.
No. A raised lump is a description, not a diagnosis. Some superficial benign lesions may be suitable for laser, while deeper, uncertain or suspicious lumps may need investigation, another procedure or referral.
Selected lesions may be suitable after assessment. These areas need particular care because of delicate anatomy and, for eyelids, proximity to the eye. Your clinician will discuss whether treatment at the clinic or referral is more appropriate.
Yes. Medical Aesthetics 360 provides assessment and treatment planning through its Chatswood and Hurstville clinics. Choose your preferred clinic on the contact form; the team will confirm the appointment and treatment location.
Arrange prompt medical assessment before considering cosmetic removal. A changing, bleeding, crusting or unusual lesion may need further investigation. A photograph or online comparison cannot determine whether it is benign.
