Medical Skin Care and Cosmetic Skin Care

At Cambridge Skin and Wellness, we perform cosmetic lesion removal using minor procedures that are safe and effective. The specific method used depends on the type and size of the lesion, as well as its location on your body. Some procedures involve surgical removal, where the lesion is carefully excised using a scalpel. Other methods might include cryotherapy, where the lesion is frozen off using liquid nitrogen, or laser treatment, which uses focused light to break down the lesion. Prior to the procedure, we apply a local anesthetic to ensure your comfort. Our team is skilled in performing these procedures with precision and care, minimizing discomfort and potential scarring. Post-procedure, we provide detailed aftercare instructions to ensure optimal healing and prevent infection.

Our highly trained medical providers use precision techniques to minimize the risk of scarring from cosmetic lesion removal. However, it's important to understand that the extent of scarring can depend on several factors. These include the size and location of the lesion, the specific removal method used, and your body's individual healing response. Some people may naturally heal with minimal scarring, while others may be more prone to visible scars. During your consultation, we'll discuss this in detail. We will set realistic expectations regarding potential scarring and discuss possible measures to further minimize it, such as applying silicone sheets or gels, using sun protection, and avoiding certain activities during the healing process.

The results from cosmetic lesion removal are often visible immediately after the procedure. However, the complete healing process can take a little longer, ranging from a few days to a couple of weeks depending on the size and depth of the lesion, and the specific procedure used. During the healing period, it's essential to follow the aftercare instructions provided. This will help promote optimal healing and prevent potential complications. Instructions typically include keeping the area clean, avoiding exposure to the sun, and refraining from picking at any scabs that form. We'll schedule follow-up appointments to monitor your progress and ensure the healing process is proceeding as expected. These appointments also provide an opportunity for you to ask any questions and address any concerns you may have about your recovery.
