Skin lesions addressed
“diagnosis first”

A small red "cherry angioma" on the décolletage that appeared a few years ago and keeps slowly growing. A brown seborrhoeic wart on the neck that no clothing can hide.

A soft skin tag catching on your collar. Yellowish xanthelasma on the eyelids that make your face look tired. These are benign lesions — but they can be irritating and disrupt the smoothness of your skin. Removing skin lesions at J'adore Instytut is not "burning off a mole by eye" — it is a medical treatment preceded by a dermatoscopic assessment. Every lesion is first examined by a doctor / dermatologist (with dermatoscopy). Only once we're confident the lesion is harmless do we decide to remove it and choose a method — usually electrocoagulation (high-frequency current), sometimes Plasma IQ or laser. Below you'll find everything worth knowing before you book a visit.

How it works

How it works

Most small lesions are removed using electrocoagulation — high-frequency (HF) current. A thin electrode (needle) touches the lesion; current passes through the tissue, causing local heating and coagulation — a controlled "searing" of proteins. The lesion is destroyed precisely, leaving the surrounding skin untouched. The treatment is superficial and precise: one lesion takes literally a few seconds.

After the treatment, a small scab forms where the lesion was — this is a normal, expected reaction. The scab falls off on its own within a few days, revealing healing skin underneath. Don't pick at it — it protects the healing process and determines whether any mark is left behind.

For certain lesions, your doctor may choose a different technology: Plasma IQ (a plasma arc that vaporises the epidermis without contact and also tightens the skin — useful for loose eyelid skin, for example) or Nd:YAG laser. The logic stays the same: precise, superficial, and respectful of healthy tissue. Your doctor decides on the method during consultation.

Three levels of skin in cross-section: the epidermis at the surface, the upper dermis beneath it, and deepest of all the further reaches of the dermis. A fine electrode works on the lesion point by point, without disturbing the skin around it. The specialist sets the scope of the work after assessing the lesion.
  1. Epidermisthe layer vaporised at the point of contact
  2. Upper dermisthe level where the tightening starts
  3. Deeper dermisdeeper than the spot treatment reaches

Which lesions we remove

And which we don't touch

We only remove benign lesions, confirmed by dermatoscopy. Most commonly these are:

  1. Cherry angiomassmall, red "dots", usually on the décolletage, torso and neck. They naturally increase in number with age.
  2. Seborrhoeic wartsbrown, slightly raised lesions with a rough surface, often on the face and torso.
  3. Skin tags (soft fibromas)soft, stalk-like growths, typically on the neck, underarms and groin.
  4. Xanthelasmayellowish deposits around the eyelids that give the eyes a tired appearance.
  5. Small moles / other benign lesionsonly after clear dermatoscopic verification.
  6. Loose eyelid skin / minor superficial lesionswhere Plasma IQ is the better tool.
Red flag: a lesion that's changing

A mole that grows, darkens, has irregular edges or uneven colour, itches, bleeds, or heals then returns — this is not something to remove "for looks". We do not remove such lesions with aesthetic methods — we refer you for further diagnostics and, if needed, surgical removal with histopathological examination. Dermatoscopy exists precisely to catch this.

Dermatoscopy

Why we never remove "by eye"

This is the core of safety in this treatment. A doctor always examines every lesion under a dermatoscope first — a non-invasive examination that magnifies and illuminates the lesion, revealing structure invisible to the naked eye. Only once the doctor is confident the lesion is benign do we decide on removal and method.

Why does this matter so much? Because aesthetic methods (electrocoagulation, plasma, laser) destroy the lesion thermally — no tissue remains for examination under a microscope. So if there's any shadow of doubt about whether a lesion is truly harmless, aesthetic removal is not appropriate — that lesion should go for surgical removal with histopathology instead.

From the doctor's chair

The most common request: "just burn it off, it's only an ugly mole." I understand — but that's exactly why I reach for the dermatoscope first. In 95% of cases, it really is a harmless lesion, and we remove it there and then. That remaining few per cent is why this step is non-negotiable.

Women's needs and men's needs

What's different

For her

Common zones for women — where skin lesions appear most often

For women, it's mostly about the aesthetics of exposed areas and the face — décolletage, neck, and the eye area. Lesions are often small, but visible in photos and in a dress neckline. The goal: clear, smooth skin with no trace of the treatment. This is classic skin lesion removal for women.

The areas we support

  1. cherry angiomas on the décolletage and neck — the most common reason for a visit;
  2. xanthelasma on the eyelids — a delicate, "cosmetic" area;
  3. seborrhoeic warts on the face and small skin tags on the neck;
  4. with loose eyelid skin — considering Plasma IQ rather than removal alone.
For him

Men and skin lesion removal — no fuss

For men, lesions on the neck, back, torso and arms dominate — cherry angiomas, seborrhoeic warts, and skin tags rubbing against a collar or backpack. What matters is speed and discretion: one visit, a small scab, back to daily life. This is skin lesion removal for men.

The areas we support

  1. cherry angiomas and seborrhoeic warts on the torso, back, arms;
  2. skin tags under the arms and on the neck (friction, discomfort);
  3. isolated facial lesions — removed quickly and without a trace;
  4. zero downtime for minor lesions — you're back at work the same day.

Did you know: red "cherry angiomas" have nothing to do with diet or a "bad liver", despite what internet myths claim — they're simply small, benign growths of blood vessels that naturally increase with age. A removed one won't come back, but new ones may appear elsewhere. This is normal.

Safety

What really determines the result

With skin lesion removal, three things determine the result and safety — and they're worth asking about at any clinic:

  1. Was dermatoscopy performed

    This is question number one. At J'adore, we never remove a lesion without a prior dermatoscopic assessment by a doctor. Removing a lesion "on the spot, by eye" risks missing something that should have gone for diagnostics.

  2. Who qualifies and who performs the treatment

    Qualifying a lesion — especially a pigmented one — is the job of a doctor / dermatologist after dermatoscopy. They assess whether the lesion can be removed aesthetically at all, and by which method. The removal itself is carried out by a doctor or experienced (medical) cosmetologist, only after positive qualification. This is never a back-room decision.

  3. What healing and aftercare look like

    A small scab, no picking, and strict SPF 50+ aren't cosmetic extras — they're what determines whether a mark or discolouration is left behind.

The golden rule at J'adore · Diagnosis before aesthetics. We first answer the question "can this lesion even be removed in a cosmetology-aesthetic setting?" — and only then, "what's the best way to remove it?" Never the other way round.

LASER THERAPY / HIGH-TECH / REMOVAL

What to expect during your visit

  1. Consultation and dermatoscopythe doctor examines the lesion under a dermatoscope, assesses its nature, and qualifies it (or not) for aesthetic removal. If anything raises doubt, we refer you for diagnostics instead of removing it.
  2. Choosing the methodelectrocoagulation (most minor lesions), Plasma IQ, or laser, depending on the type and location of the lesion.
  3. Skin preparationdisinfection and, if needed, numbing cream applied in advance. Skin should be clean, with no make-up.
  4. The treatmentprecise removal of the lesion; a single sting or burning sensation lasts a fraction of a second. A few minor lesions take just a few minutes.
  5. Aftercare and departureinstructions on scab care, SPF, and follow-up. For minor lesions, you return to daily life straight away.

Contraindications

When to postpone the treatment

Some contraindications are permanent, others temporary — in which case we simply postpone the treatment. Final qualification is always carried out by a doctor after dermatoscopy.

We don't perform it
  • An unverified or suspicious lesion — most importantly: we do NOT remove any pigmented lesion, or one raising any concern, using aesthetic methods; it requires diagnostics and, if needed, surgical removal with histopathology.
  • Pregnancy and breastfeeding
  • Pacemaker — particularly relevant for electrocoagulation.
  • Active herpes — especially around the mouth and eyes, even outside the treatment area; we postpone until it's healed, and for recurrent cases the doctor may recommend antiviral cover.
  • Active inflammation or skin infection — in the treatment area, and fever / general infection — we wait until you've recovered.
  • Clotting disorders and blood-thinning medication — , uncontrolled diabetes, active cancer — these require a doctor's assessment.
  • A tendency to keloid scarring — this affects the decision on method and area.
  • Recent tanning / photosensitising medication / isotretinoin (Roaccutane) — for laser methods, we keep a gap and avoid recent sun exposure (risk of pigmentation).

From the doctor's chair

I say this often: "if a lesion is changing, this isn't the moment for cosmetic removal — it's the moment for diagnosis." Aesthetics can wait. Safety can't.

This isn't an exhaustive list — we'll go through your medication, health conditions, any tendency to keloid scarring, and previous treatments individually at your consultation.

What to expect

No surprises

Most importantly: a small scab will form where the lesion was — and that's a good sign. It's a natural stage of healing. The scab protects the skin underneath and falls off on its own. The less you disturb it, the cleaner the skin will look afterwards.

  1. Faza 1.immediatelylesion removed; a small scab or redness appears
  2. Faza 2.the first few dayshealing under the scab; protect the area and don't pick at it
  3. Faza 3.a few daysthe scab falls off on its own, revealing pink, healing skin
  4. Faza 4.the following weeksskin tone evens out — SPF 50+ is key against pigmentation
The most common mistake after treatment is picking at the scab "because it looks unsightly". That's exactly when a mark can form. The scab is a dressing your skin made itself — let it fall off on its own, and in most cases, nothing will be left behind.
From the doctor's chair

What's normal right after the treatment

  • mild redness and slight swelling around the treated area;
  • a small scab or change in the lesion's colour — a normal reaction, not a complication;
  • a brief sensation of mild burning or warmth right after the treatment.

With Plasma IQ on the eyelids, healing is more noticeable — swelling and small "dots" can last from several days to about two weeks. This method comes with real social downtime, which we tell you about at consultation, so you can plan your visit ahead of time.

Lesion removal and your daily life

What you can and can't do, and when

The most common questions aren't about the treatment itself, but about healing: bathing, swimming, make-up, sun, sport. There's one rule — protect the scab and healing skin for a few days, and after the treatment, always keep up with sun protection.

  1. The scab and touching it

    don't pick at it

    This is the most important rule: don't pick at or soak the scab for long periods. Let it fall off on its own — it decides whether a mark is left behind. Use the recommended regenerating cream.

  2. Sun and sunbeds

    SPF 50+ is mandatory

    Freshly healed skin discolours easily. Avoid sun and sunbeds, and protect exposed areas with SPF 50+ for several weeks — this is key to preventing dark patches.

  3. Make-up on the treated area

    wait 24–48 hours

    Don't apply make-up to the treated area for 1–2 days. Make-up elsewhere on the face is fine.

  4. Sauna, swimming pool, hot baths

    until healed

    Sauna, swimming and long hot baths soften the scab and encourage infection — skip them until the skin has healed.

  5. Sport and sweating

    a few quiet days

    Intense exercise and sweating aren't advisable with a fresh scab. Light activity is fine — just avoid friction on the treated area (a backpack on a fresh scab, for instance).

  6. Work and daily life

    usually straight away

    After removing minor lesions, you're back at work the same day. The exception is Plasma IQ on the eyelids — plan a few days for the swelling to settle.

Frequently asked questions

  1. QuestionDoes skin lesion removal hurt?
    AnswerSensations are minimal — for minor lesions, it's a fraction of a second of light stinging or a burning feeling. If needed, we apply numbing cream, especially for delicate areas like the eyelids.
  2. QuestionWill it leave a scar?
    AnswerWith proper healing — usually not. The key is not to pick at the scab and to strictly protect the skin with SPF 50+ afterwards. Minor lesions typically heal without a trace; your doctor will tell you the specific risk for your lesion and area at consultation.
  3. QuestionHow many sessions do I need?
    AnswerMost minor lesions (cherry angiomas, seborrhoeic warts, skin tags) are removed in a single treatment. Larger or more numerous lesions may need a repeat session. Your doctor sets the plan after assessment.
  4. QuestionWill a removed lesion come back?
    AnswerNot in the same spot — a removed lesion doesn't regrow. New cherry angiomas or warts may appear elsewhere with age, though — that's a natural process, and new lesions are removed as they appear.

Medical information. Skin lesion removal is a medical procedure — at J'adore Instytut it's always preceded by a dermatoscopic assessment, and a doctor / dermatologist decides on qualification and method. This text is for information only and does not replace a consultation or diagnostics. Any pigmented lesion, or one that raises any concern, requires prior assessment; suspicious lesions are removed surgically with histopathological examination, never with aesthetic methods.
