Removal of skin formations

Surgical removal of a birthmark

Birthmarks are formations on the skin. Usually, they are not dangerous but can often be aesthetically unappealing or be located at an uncomfortable area on the body. A dermatologist assesses the need for surgery after birthmark examination. A dermatologist can recommend removing the birthmark but the final decision is always up to the client.

The removed tissue is always sent to a laboratory to confirm whether it was a benign or malignant growth. The results will come back in 7 business days. At Confido, our surgeon Andre Trudnikov and dermatologist dr Karin Hussar remove birthmarks.

You should consider examining and removing your birthmarks if:

• They are painful
• They are inflamed
• Excrete fluids with unpleasant odor
• They grow significantly
• They change the colour or shape

Good to know

• The duration of the the procedure depends on the amount, location, and nature of the birthmarks.
• Birthmark is removed using local anaesthesia.
• Procedure is not painful. Anaesthetic injection can be slightly painful.
