Skin tags, lesions, and skin growth removal in Laval

Why do small skin tags, spots, or lesions appear over time?

 

It’s normal to develop skin growths with age. At Clinique D in Laval, Dr. Brassard provides expert evaluations and safe solutions for your skin.

As we age, it’s completely normal for small skin lesions or growths to appear on different parts of the body, such as bumps, lumps, skin tags, red or brown spots, or rough patches. While these are generally harmless, they can cause cosmetic concerns or discomfort. Some people are also more likely to develop them due to heredity.

Before having them removed, it’s essential to consult a dermatologist to confirm that they are benign, meaning not dangerous. At Clinique D, Dr. Danielle Brassard provides thorough evaluations and safe, effective treatments that are often quick.

 

Skin tags, lesions, and skin growths: when should you see a dermatologist?

 

Skin lesions may look harmless, but only a dermatologist can confirm. At Clinique D in Laval, Dr. Brassard provides expert evaluation and safe removal.

When a small growth, spot, or persistent bump appears on the skin, it can be tempting to ignore it or even try to remove it yourself. However, it is essential to consult a qualified dermatologist to determine the exact nature of the lesion and the safest way to treat it. Some skin lesions, such as skin tags, angiomas, or keratoses are benign, but others may require special medical attention.

At Clinique D in Laval, Dr. Danielle Brassard, a dermatologist with more than 10 years of experience, provides a professional evaluation of your skin before any treatment to ensure that every procedure is safe, appropriate, and effective.

Having a dermatologist examine a lesion also ensures a reliable diagnosis and treatment performed to the highest medical standards. More serious growths can sometimes resemble harmless ones. By consulting Clinique D in Laval, you benefit from the expertise of a specialist who can reassure you, make an accurate diagnosis, and design a personalized treatment plan, whether that involves laser removal, cryotherapy, or a minor surgical procedure. Your skin deserves the highest level of medical care and expertise.

 

What skin lesions are commonly treated by Dr. Brassard at Clinique D in Laval?

 

At Clinique D in Laval, Dr. Brassard safely removes common skin concerns like skin tags, moles, age spots, and other lesions that often bother patients.

 

Skin tags (acrochordons)
Skin tags, also called acrochordons, are small, soft skin growths that slightly hang off the skin. They are commonly found on the eyelids, neck, armpits, or groin. While harmless, they may rub, irritate, or cause daily discomfort. At Clinique D in Laval, removal is a simple, quick, and painless procedure performed safely by Dr. Danielle Brassard.

 

Raised moles (intradermal nevi)
Raised moles, or intradermal nevi, are usually skin-colored or slightly darker. When they protrude or pose an aesthetic concern, they can be removed at Clinique D, either with a laser or through a minor surgical procedure. This treatment is performed safely by Dr. Brassard to preserve the natural appearance of your skin.

 

Small red bumps on the face (facial angiofibromas)
Facial angiofibromas are small, benign skin growths that appear red or skin-colored. They are most often located in the central face, such as on the nose, cheeks, or lips. While harmless, they may be bothersome cosmetically. At Clinique D, they can be easily removed using a laser treatment or a quick, safe surgical technique, performed by Dr. Brassard for a natural, harmonious result.

 

Small red spots on the skin (cherry angiomas)
Cherry angiomas are small clusters of blood vessels on the surface of the skin, with a bright red color. They typically range from 2 to 8 mm in size and often appear on the trunk, arms, or neck. Some people develop many due to genetic predisposition. Although completely harmless, they are often associated with aging skin, leading many patients to seek their removal. At Clinique D in Laval, cherry angiomas can be treated with a pulsed dye laser. Depending on the number of spots, one to three sessions may be required. After treatment, the spots may turn dark blue for about three weeks before gradually disappearing, leaving no scars.

 

Small star-shaped vessels on the skin (spider angiomas)
Spider angiomas are small, dilated blood vessels that form a fine red star or spider-like shape on the skin’s surface. They can appear on the face, neck, or other parts of the body. More common in children and pregnant women, they are harmless but may be aesthetically bothersome. At Clinique D in Laval, spider angiomas can be effectively treated with a pulsed dye laser. This precise and safe treatment removes visible vessels while preserving the skin’s natural appearance.

 

Brown or rough skin patches (seborrheic keratoses)
Seborrheic keratoses are slightly thickened brownish or blackish patches that commonly appear with age. Often referred to as age spots or wisdom spots, they are harmless but can be unsightly or itchy. At our Laval clinic, they can be safely removed with laser treatment or liquid nitrogen, helping restore smoother, more even-toned skin.

 

Bluish or purplish spots (venous lakes)
Venous lakes are small bluish or purplish lesions often visible on the lip or ear, caused by dilated blood vessels. While benign, they may cause cosmetic concerns or occasional bleeding. At Clinique D in Laval, Dr. Brassard offers laser treatments to remove these lesions and restore a more even, natural appearance to the skin.

 

Yellowish spots around the eyes (xanthelasmas)
Xanthelasmas are small fatty deposits that appear as yellowish patches on the upper or lower eyelids. At Clinique D in Laval, they can be removed through a surgical approach or by applying trichloroacetic acid. This treatment involves placing a fine drop of acid on the spots, which temporarily turn white before gradually fading over the following days or weeks as the skin naturally heals.
