What skin lesions do we remove?
- moles and pigmented naevi, including changing lesions according to the ABCDE rule,
- epidermoid cysts,
- fibromas,
- lipomas,
- warts and other benign skin lesions,
- lesions irritated mechanically or removed for aesthetic reasons.
Why is histopathological examination important?
Histopathology is the microscopic assessment of a removed lesion. It is the only way to reliably determine its nature and rule out cancerous lesions, including melanoma. That is why in our clinic every removed lesion is sent for histopathological examination — this is a safety standard, not an optional extra.
How does the procedure work?
- Consultation and lesion assessment. The doctor assesses the lesion and performs dermoscopy if needed.
- Local anaesthesia. The procedure is painless.
- Excision of the entire lesion. With a margin of healthy tissue, depending on indications.
- Wound closure. Sutures and a dressing are applied.
- Histopathological examination. The removed lesion is sent for microscopic assessment.
- Result discussion. After a dozen or so days, the doctor discusses the result and further management.
Recovery
- keep the wound clean and dry according to recommendations,
- avoid intense physical activity for several days,
- sutures are removed at the time indicated by the doctor,
- protect the scar from the sun with SPF during healing,
- contact the clinic if concerning symptoms appear.

Frequently asked questions
How much does skin lesion removal cost?
The price starts from PLN 350 for a single lesion. The final price is determined individually after consultation and depends on the number, size and location of the lesions, as well as histopathological examination.
Does mole excision hurt?
The procedure is performed under local anaesthesia, so you should not feel pain. After the anaesthesia wears off, mild discomfort may appear at the wound site and usually subsides quickly.
Does every lesion need histopathological examination?
Yes. Every removed lesion should be sent for histopathological examination, which confirms its nature and rules out cancerous changes. This is a basic safety principle, so removing moles without verification is not recommended.
Do you remove epidermoid cysts and fibromas?
Yes. We surgically remove epidermoid cysts, fibromas, lipomas, warts and moles, among others. The method and scope are selected by the doctor after assessing the lesion, and the removed material is sent for histopathological examination.
Will there be a scar after the procedure?
A small scar remains after excision. Its appearance depends on the size and location of the lesion and individual healing tendencies. The doctor closes the wound so that the scar is as discreet as possible.
When will I receive the result?
The histopathology result is usually available after a dozen or so days. The doctor discusses it with the patient and, if necessary, plans further management or follow-up.
How many lesions can be removed during one visit?
Usually several lesions can be removed during one visit — the final number is determined by the doctor, taking into account their size, location and healing safety. In our clinic, we remove from several to several dozen lesions per day.
How should I prepare for the procedure?
Usually no special preparation is needed. It is important to inform the doctor about any medications you take, especially blood thinners, as well as chronic diseases and allergies. You will receive detailed recommendations during the consultation.
Is the procedure reimbursed by the National Health Fund?
In our clinic, skin lesion removal is a private, commercial procedure. The price starts from PLN 350 per lesion, and the final price is determined individually after consultation.
What if the result shows a concerning lesion?
If histopathological examination shows a lesion requiring further treatment, the doctor discusses the management plan with the patient — for example, margin widening or further diagnostics. Early detection significantly increases treatment effectiveness, which is why we examine every removed lesion.
