At The Bristol Dental Practice, we offer expert removal of moles, cysts, warts, and skin tags to help you feel confident and comfortable in your skin. Our experienced team, led by Consultant Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeon, Mr. John Collin, provides safe and effective treatments using advanced techniques to minimise scarring and ensure the best possible outcomes.
While many skin lesions, such as moles, cysts, warts, and skin tags, are harmless, they can sometimes cause discomfort, irritation, or cosmetic concerns. In some cases, removal may be recommended if the lesion changes in appearance or becomes symptomatic.
Common reasons for skin lesion removal include:
During your consultation, Mr Collin will assess the lesion and recommend the most appropriate procedure.
Surgical Excision: A precise technique used for larger or deeper lesions. This procedure involves carefully removing the lesion under local anaesthesia, ensuring complete removal and minimal scarring.

Consultation: We begin with a detailed consultation to understand your concerns, assess the lesion, and discuss the most suitable treatment options.
Treatment: Most procedures are performed under local anaesthesia for your comfort, with treatments typically taking 30-60 minutes.
Recovery: Recovery times vary depending on the procedure, but most patients can return to their normal activities shortly after treatment. We provide clear aftercare instructions to support your healing.
Proper aftercare is essential for a smooth recovery and optimal results. We provide comprehensive guidance tailored to your specific treatment:
