Dermatology and skin lesion removal

Dermatology and skin lesion removal

Skin lesions can range from benign fibromas, warts or prosacchiae to pigmented nevi, helmets or other structures that require diagnosis. At Bednarek Clinic, we offer safe and effective methods of removing skin lesions, both for aesthetic and medical reasons. An important part of our practice is the submission of the removed material for histopathological examination, which allows us to determine the nature of the lesion and provide complete care.

Surgical removal of skin lesions

Surgical removal of the skin lesion may be recommended when:

  • the lesion is suspicious: it grows, changes color, itches or bleeds,
  • appeared suddenly,
  • We want to have diagnostic certainty (histopathological examination),
  • The change is aesthetically undesirable,
  • The types of lesions that can be surgically removed include pigmented nevi, hemangiomas, soft fibromas, cysts, cysts, or skin cancerous lesions.

Course of treatment

  1. Initial consultation
    During the consultation, the doctor assesses the lesion (location, size, nature), discusses possible methods and potential risks.
  2. Local anesthesia
    The procedure is performed under local anesthesia, which minimizes discomfort.
  3. Removal of the lesion
    The doctor precisely excises the lesion or elliptical piece of skin according to the surgical plan. If necessary, tissue reconstruction (suturing, site plasticity) is performed.
  4. Wound protection
    A dressing is applied after the procedure.
  5. Histopathological examination
    The removed lesion is routinely sent to a histopathology laboratory, which allows for an accurate analysis – whether the lesion was benign or requires further observation or treatment.

Recovery

  • The healing period depends on the size and location of the lesion: it can last from a few days to several weeks,
  • After the procedure, it may be necessary to remove the stitches – usually during a follow-up visit after 7-10 days,
  • We recommend protection of the treatment site, hygiene and possible use of ointments to promote healing,
  • In the case of larger or strategic lesions (such as on the face), recovery may require more care, and the eventual scar may require monitoring.

Removal of lesions with Plasma IQ technology

Plasma IQ is a state-of-the-art technology using microbeams of plasma. It allows sublimation (vaporization) of the epidermal surface in a very controlled manner, without deep damage to the dermis. The pinpoint application allows for precise action, and microscopic “pixels” (less than 1 mm) heal relatively quickly.

The use of Plasma IQ technology is particularly recommended for:

  • small fibroids,
  • rubies,
  • Yellow tufts (e.g., on the eyelids),
  • prosacchia,
  • minor warts or skin lesions that require aesthetic removal and are not suspicious and do not require histopathological evaluation,

Course of treatment Plasma IQ

  1. Consultation
    The doctor assesses whether the lesion is suitable for removal by this method, performs a possible dermatoscopy of the lesion, and discusses contraindications (e.g., susceptibility to scarring, infections, skin diseases).
  2. Anesthesia
    For a larger area (such as the eyelids), an epidural is used.
  3. Treatment
    The device produces micro plasma arcs between the tip and the skin, which leads to sublimation of the epidermis in a very precise way.
  4. After the procedure
    ◦ Small scabs may appear (usually fall off in about 10-14 days).
    ◦ Swelling may persist for 2-3 days.
    ◦ Redness of the skin may persist for a few days, but is usually mild enough to be masked with makeup.

Recovery and recommendations after Plasma IQ treatment

  • Protect the treatment area from the sun – use creams with SPF (such as SPF 50) for several weeks.
  • Avoid skin irritation (e.g., friction, aggressive care) during healing.
