Types of Skin Growths

There are several types of skin growths that we commonly treat at Cupid Lips, including:

  • Skin Tags: Small, soft, benign growths that typically appear in areas where the skin folds, such as the neck, armpits, and groin.
  • Warts: Rough, raised growths caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV), commonly found on the hands, feet, and genitals.
  • Moles: Dark, pigmented growths that can be flat or raised and may appear anywhere on the body.
  • Seborrheic Keratoses: Benign, wart-like growths that can vary in color and are often found on the face, chest, shoulders, and back.
  • Actinic Keratoses: Rough, scaly patches caused by sun damage, which have the potential to develop into skin cancer if left untreated

Minimally Invasive Skin Growth Removal Treatments

At Cupid Lips, we offer a range of minimally invasive treatments to remove unwanted skin growths with minimal discomfort and downtime. Our treatments are designed to be safe, effective, and tailored to your specific needs.

Cryotherapy

Cryotherapy involves freezing the skin growth with liquid nitrogen, causing it to fall off naturally.

  • How It Works: Liquid nitrogen is applied to the growth, freezing the tissue and causing it to die. Over time, the frozen growth will fall off, revealing healthy skin underneath. 
  • Benefits: Quick procedure, minimal discomfort, and effective for treating warts, skin tags, and actinic keratoses. 

Laser Therapy

Laser therapy uses concentrated light energy to remove skin growths.

  • How It Works: The laser targets the growth, breaking down the tissue without damaging surrounding skin. This method is particularly effective for removing moles, warts, and seborrheic keratoses. 
  • Benefits: Precise, minimal downtime, and suitable for various types of skin growths.

Electrosurgery

Electrosurgery uses high-frequency electricalcurrents to cut through or remove skin growths.

  • How It Works: An electrode is used to deliver electrical currents to the growth, cutting through or vaporizing the tissue. This method is often used for skin tags, warts, and certain types of moles. 
  • Benefits: Effective, minimal bleeding, and quick recovery time.

Surgical Excision

Surgical excision involves cutting out the skin growth with a scalpel.

  • How It Works: The area around the growth is numbed, and the growth is carefully cut out with a scalpel. Stitches may be used to close the wound, depending on the size and location of the growth. 
  • Benefits: Complete removal, suitable for larger or suspicious growths, and provides a sample for biopsy if needed.
