Minor skin procedures are minimally invasive treatments performed by a general practitioner (GP) in a clinical setting.
We perform procedures under local anesthesia, including skin lesion excision and mole or skin tag removal. Our treatment room is fully equipped, with a practice nurse assisting during each procedure. All doctors will explain each step, provide post-care instructions, and discuss any follow-up appointments.
During your consultation, a doctor will assess your condition and recommend the best treatment. They will address any questions and offer personalised advice. If treatment is needed, the procedure will be performed in-clinic by our experienced general practitioners.
Procedures are available for patients who wish to treat the following:
Mole removal: Greensthetics offers treatments for moles that affect your confidence or health. Laser treatment targets smaller moles, while protruding ones can be shaved under local anaesthetic or excised with a stitch.
Skin tag removal: Skin tags can cause discomfort or impact self-esteem. Removal options include excision with a scalpel or cryotherapy with liquid nitrogen.

Step 3: Initiate your minor skin procedure at Greensthetics. All treatments adhere to stringent medical protocols in a secure, clinical setting. Rest assured, you are in safe hands with us.
PRE-TREATMENT:

Medications: Inform your doctor if you take blood thinners (e.g., Warfarin, Apixaban, Aspirin).
Allergies: Notify your doctor of any allergies to medications, latex, or anesthesia.
Pacemaker: If you have a pacemaker, inform your doctor for necessary adjustments during cautery.
Hearing aids: Remove hearing aids during surgery to avoid interference with equipment.
Exercise: Avoid strenuous activities while stitches are in place, and potentially for two to four weeks after surgery.
Contact lenses: Remove lenses if surgery involves the eye area and bring a container for storage.
Consent form: You or a guardian will sign a consent form acknowledging the procedure and potential risks
POST-TREATMENT:
Your physician will provide post-procedure instructions. If needed, take pain relief tablets, but avoid aspirin or ibuprofen unless prescribed, as they can increase bleeding risk.
