Mole & Skin Lesion Removal

Surgical and laser removal of moles, skin tags, seborrhoeic keratoses and other benign skin lesions at Klinika preventivní dermatologie in Ostrava, performed under local anaesthesia by a board-certified dermatovenereologist. Every lesion is assessed dermoscopically before the procedure; suspicious moles are surgically excised and sent for histological analysis rather than vaporised — a critical patient-safety step that ensures no pathology goes undiagnosed. Clearly benign cosmetic lesions are removed with radiowave electrosurgery or laser. From 2,000 Kč per lesion; histology from 1,500 Kč additional.

Mole removal at Klinika preventivní dermatologie is clinically driven: the procedure you receive depends on what the physician finds on dermoscopic assessment, not on a single-technique policy. This matters because laser vaporisation of a mole that turns out to be dysplastic or melanomatous destroys the tissue and prevents histological diagnosis — a significant patient-safety issue. The clinic's policy is to surgically excise any lesion with ambiguous or concerning dermoscopic features and send the material for formal histopathology, while using minimally invasive techniques (radiowave electrosurgery or laser) for clearly benign cosmetic lesions. At the start of the procedure session the physician re-examines the lesion or lesions agreed for removal at the consultation. The skin is cleaned and local anaesthetic is injected around the site, taking effect within one to two minutes. For surgical excision a small ellipse of skin including the lesion plus a safety margin is removed with a fine scalpel, and the wound is closed with absorbable or removable sutures depending on location and depth. The specimen is placed in formalin and dispatched to a pathology laboratory, with a result typically available within one to two weeks. For clearly benign lesions — skin tags, superficial seborrhoeic keratoses, small fibromas — the physician uses radiowave electrosurgery or laser vaporisation, which seals as it removes and leaves a small superficial wound that heals without sutures. Post-procedure care is straightforward: keep the site clean and dry, apply a thin layer of antiseptic ointment, cover with a sterile dressing changed daily, and protect from the sun until healed. Sutures are removed at a follow-up visit, typically seven to fourteen days after excision depending on location. A small, flat scar is the usual cosmetic outcome of excision; laser and radiowave sites leave a slightly pink flat mark that fades over several weeks to months. Removal sessions are from 2,000 Kč per lesion; histological analysis is 1,500 Kč additional and is routinely recommended for any surgically excised lesion. Simple cosmetic lesions such as skin tags cost from 1,000 Kč. Multiple-lesion discounts are available and confirmed at consultation.
