Skin Lesions Treatments at Reimagine Clinic

Benign skin lesions are growths that, although often not aesthetically pleasing, generally pose no serious health risk. These can occasionally cause discomfort due to itching, burning, or stinging, and in some cases, they may lead to malignant changes. Therefore, it’s essential to consult with a professional for skin lesion diagnosis and treatment. Additionally, Reimagine Clinic offers milia removal services for those seeking specialized care.

What are Skin Lesions?

Skin lesions are abnormal growths or changes in the skin that can be caused by a variety of factors, including genetics, sun exposure, and certain medical conditions. They can appear as bumps, moles, or discolorations on the skin’s surface and can be benign or malignant. Benign skin lesions are non-cancerous and do not pose a serious health risk, while malignant skin lesions are cancerous and require prompt medical attention.

Common Types of Skin Lesions

There are many different types of skin lesions, including:

• Moles: Small, dark spots on the skin that can be benign or malignant.

• Skin Tags: Small, benign growths that hang from the skin.

• Milia: Small, white bumps on the skin that are caused by clogged pores.

• Seborrheic Keratoses: Benign growths that appear as brown, black, or tan spots on the skin.

• Actinic Keratoses: Precancerous growths that appear as rough, scaly patches on the skin.

• Basal Cell Carcinoma: A type of skin cancer that appears as a small, shiny bump on the skin.

Treatment Option for Skin Lesions at Reimagine Clinic

When a patient wishes to have a skin lesion removed due to discomfort or cosmetic reasons, we offer several treatments:

• Cryotherapy, freezing with liquid nitrogen (Cryoprobe)

• Cryotherapy with other methods of freezing the skin lesion

These methods are also effective for treating other vascular lesions, such as spider veins and angiomas, providing advantages with minimal discomfort.

The type of treatment depends on the specific characteristics of the lesion, its location, and the patient’s overall health condition.

Understanding Cryotherapy

Cryotherapy is a trusted method for the removal of skin lesions in dermatology and aesthetic practices. It involves the controlled destruction of unwanted skin growth through the application of extreme cold, effectively eliminating unwanted blemishes on the skin’s surface with minimal discomfort or side effects.

Why Choose Cryotherapy Skin Lesion Treatment?

CryoProbe XP emit high-pressure N2O gas (-89 °C) that rapidly and precisely freezes the affected area, without damaging the surrounding skin. As a result, the lesion cells’ water freezes rapidly, expands, and ruptures the cell membrane. The lesion is then naturally eliminated from the skin’s surface, until healing is completed within a couple of weeks.

Why choose CryoProbe XP? They offer the most stress-free option for smooth and quick cryotherapy treatments of all benign skin lesions:

• Fast

• Safe

• Precise

• Comfortable

• No anesthesia

• No downtime

• No scars

The Treatment Process

The treatment process for skin lesions depends on the type and severity of the lesion. Benign skin lesions can often be removed using minor surgery, laser hair removal, or other non-invasive treatments. Malignant skin lesions require more aggressive treatment, such as surgical excision or radiation therapy. In some cases, skin lesions may not require treatment at all and may simply be monitored by a doctor to ensure they do not become cancerous.

What to Expect During and After Treatment

During treatment, patients may experience minimal discomfort or slight discomfort, depending on the type of treatment used. After treatment, patients may experience some post-treatment care, such as applying topical creams or taking pain medication. In some cases, patients may experience hyperpigmentation post-treatment, which can be treated with additional therapies. It’s essential to follow the doctor’s instructions carefully to ensure optimal results and minimize complications.

Risks and Complications

While skin lesion treatment is generally safe, there are some risks and complications to be aware of. These can include:

• Infection: As with any surgical procedure, there is a risk of infection with skin lesion treatment.

• Scarring: Some skin lesion treatments can cause scarring, which can be permanent.

• Hyperpigmentation: Some patients may experience hyperpigmentation post-treatment, which can be treated with additional therapies.

• Skin Cancer: In some cases, skin lesions can be cancerous, and treatment may not be effective in removing the cancer completely.

It’s essential to discuss any concerns or questions you have with your doctor before undergoing treatment for skin lesions.
