Skin tags, warts, moles and cysts are all common skin lesions. While most are harmless, many people choose to have them removed for aesthetic reasons, comfort, or peace of mind.
These lesions can vary in size, shape and appearance. Skin tags are typically small, soft growths that hang from the skin, often measuring between 1 and 5 millimetres, though they can grow over time. Warts are usually raised and rough in texture, moles may be flat or raised with varying pigmentation, and cysts are often firm lumps beneath the skin.
They can develop on many areas of the body, particularly where there is friction or natural folds in the skin. Common areas include the eyelids, neck, underarms, face, back and other areas prone to irritation.
At Hale Health, we offer safe and effective removal of skin tags, warts, moles and certain cysts in a single appointment using advanced cryotherapy treatment. This involves the use of a precision cryopen device to freeze the lesion, allowing for gentle and controlled removal while minimising damage to surrounding skin.
For more complex or deeper lesions, including certain moles and cysts, we also provide minor surgical procedures through our Lumps & Bumps clinic. Our mole removal service can include biopsy testing via a specialist laboratory to check for any abnormal or cancerous cells. The most suitable treatment option will always be confirmed following a detailed consultation.
Before any treatment, you will have an initial consultation where we will assess your concern, explain the procedure, answer any questions you may have, and guide you through the most appropriate treatment options.

Frequently Asked Questions
We treat a range of common skin lesions including skin tags, warts, moles and certain cysts. Each case is individually assessed to ensure treatment is both appropriate and clinically safe.
Your journey begins with a consultation. During this appointment, a clinician will assess the lesion, discuss your concerns, and recommend the most suitable treatment based on clinical need and desired outcome.
All procedures are carried out by trained medical professionals using established, evidence-based techniques. Patient safety and clinical standards are central to everything we do.
Yes. All lesions are clinically assessed prior to treatment. If there are any features that require further investigation, we will advise accordingly. Where appropriate, moles can be sent for laboratory testing (biopsy).
We offer advanced cryotherapy for suitable lesions, as well as minor surgical removal for those that require a more precise or deeper approach. The most appropriate method will be discussed during your consultation.
Most treatments are well tolerated. Cryotherapy may cause a brief cold or stinging sensation. Minor surgical procedures are performed under local anaesthetic to ensure the area is numb and comfortable throughout.
Appointments are typically 15–30 minutes, depending on the type and number of lesions being treated.
Many lesions can be treated in a single session. However, some—particularly warts or larger lesions—may require more than one treatment for best results.
Following treatment, the area may appear slightly red or form a small scab. This is a normal part of the healing process. Clear aftercare advice will be provided to support optimal recovery.
We aim to achieve the best possible cosmetic outcome. While any procedure carries a small risk of scarring, this is usually minimal and will be discussed with you before treatment.
Many cysts can be effectively removed, particularly with minor surgery. In some cases, complete removal reduces the likelihood of recurrence. Your clinician will advise on the most appropriate approach.
Downtime is generally minimal, and most patients can return to normal daily activities immediately after treatment.
You can book directly with our team or online. If you are unsure whether your concern is suitable for treatment, we recommend arranging a consultation for assessment and advice.
