Dermatologist-Led · Diagnosis First · Sterile Environment
Safe, effective removal of moles, warts, and skin tags — always preceded by clinical and dermoscopic evaluation. Board-certified dermatologists select the right method for every lesion type. Sterile procedures across 7 clinics.
Dermatologist-Led Lesion Removal
Moles (nevi), warts (verrucae), and skin tags (acrochordons) are among the most common skin growths. While most are benign, some lesions can have features that warrant further investigation — making dermatologist evaluation essential before any removal.
At DermaVue, every lesion is assessed clinically and with dermoscopy (a specialised magnification tool) before a removal method is chosen. This ensures the correct diagnosis, appropriate technique, and — when necessary — histopathological examination via biopsy.
Removal methods include radiofrequency/electrocautery, surgical excision, laser ablation, and cryotherapy — selected based on lesion type, size, depth, and location. All procedures are performed under local anaesthesia in a sterile clinical environment.
Not all skin growths are harmless. Some moles can exhibit features suggestive of melanoma or other skin cancers. Removing a lesion without proper evaluation can delay diagnosis of a serious condition.
At DermaVue, every lesion undergoes clinical assessment and dermoscopic evaluation before any removal is performed. If a lesion shows concerning features (asymmetry, irregular borders, colour variation, or rapid change), a biopsy is recommended before or during removal so the tissue can be examined by a pathologist.
This diagnosis-first approach is the medical standard of care — and the reason lesion removal should always be performed by a qualified dermatologist, not at a salon or general clinic.
Lesion Types We Treat
Each lesion type has different characteristics, causes, and optimal removal methods. Correct identification is the first step toward safe removal.
Moles (Nevi)
Common pigmented growths caused by melanocyte clusters. Can be flat or raised, brown or skin-coloured. Some may need monitoring for changes.
Warts (Verrucae)
Caused by HPV (human papillomavirus). Appear as rough, raised bumps — common on hands, feet, and face. Can spread if untreated.
Skin Tags (Acrochordons)
Soft, pedunculated skin growths commonly found on neck, armpits, and eyelids. Harmless but can cause irritation and cosmetic concern.
Seborrhoeic Keratoses
Waxy, stuck-on appearing growths common with age. Benign but can be cosmetically bothersome or confused with other lesions.
Dermatofibroma
Firm, raised nodules usually on the legs. Benign but sometimes removed for cosmetic reasons or if symptomatic.
Syringomas & Milia
Small benign growths around the eyes and face. RF/electrocautery or laser ablation can effectively treat these lesions.
The DermaVue Process
Clinical Evaluation & Dermoscopy
Your dermatologist examines the lesion visually and with a dermoscope to assess structure, colour, and pattern. Concerning features are documented.
Diagnosis & Method Selection
Based on evaluation, the dermatologist determines if the lesion is benign and selects the optimal removal method. Biopsy is recommended if indicated.
Local Anaesthesia
The area is cleaned and local anaesthetic is injected to ensure a painless procedure. For very small lesions, topical numbing may suffice.
Removal Procedure
The lesion is removed using the selected technique — RF/electrocautery, excision, laser, or cryotherapy. Tissue may be sent for histopathology.
Aftercare & Follow-Up
Wound care instructions are provided. Follow-up at 1-2 weeks to check healing and review biopsy results if applicable. Sun protection is essential.
Why Choose DermaVue

Correct Method Selection
The right removal technique is chosen for each lesion type, minimising scarring and recurrence.
Sterile Environment
All procedures performed in a sterile clinical setting with proper infection control protocols.
Biopsy Capability
Tissue can be sent for histopathological examination when needed — not possible at salons.
Structured Aftercare
Post-procedure wound care instructions and follow-up visits to optimise healing outcomes.
Minimal Scarring
Experienced dermatologists use techniques that minimise scarring based on lesion location and size.
Is This Right for You?
You may be a good candidate for mole, wart, or skin tag removal if you have:
Important: If you notice any mole that is asymmetric, has irregular borders, shows multiple colours, is larger than 6mm, or is evolving — seek a dermatologist evaluation promptly. Early assessment is essential.
Comparing Removal Methods
Your dermatologist selects the method based on lesion type, size, and location. Book a consultation for a personalised assessment.
Safety & Expertise
Lesion removal is a medical procedure, not a cosmetic service. At DermaVue, all removals are performed by board-certified dermatologists (MD DVL) using medical-grade equipment in a sterile clinical environment.
Unlike salon-based removal, dermatologist-led procedures include dermoscopic evaluation, proper anaesthesia, sterile technique, biopsy capability, and structured aftercare. This matters for both safety and cosmetic outcome.
DermaVue dermatologists are registered with IADVL (Indian Association of Dermatologists, Venereologists and Leprologists) and follow evidence-based protocols for every lesion removal.
