Benign Lesion Removal
At Dr Ed Robinson Aesthetics, a range of benign skin lesions can be safely removed using precision Erbium laser technology.
Dr Ed Robinson and Nurse Faye can remove many benign lesions using the single spot mode on the Erbium laser, allowing for precise treatment with minimal disruption to the surrounding skin. This technique is particularly effective for a number of superficial lesions and offers a quick treatment with minimal downtime. For lesions that are better suited to surgical removal, these procedures can be performed in clinic by Dr Alex, Dermatologist.
Every treatment begins with a careful assessment to confirm that the lesion appears benign and suitable for removal. The most appropriate treatment approach will always be recommended based on the type, size, and location of the lesion.

Does lesion removal hurt?
