Our doctor uses CO₂ laser technology to remove suitable benign skin lesions, including skin tags, milia seeds, seborrhoeic keratosis and sebaceous hyperplasia.
*Assessment first. Treatment only if suitable. No hard selling.
Your Skin, Our Priority
At TruGlow, CO₂ laser lesion removal is performed by our doctor using settings tailored to the lesion type, size and location. Treatment suitability is assessed first, especially for raised, changing or unclear skin growths.
This allows for precise, controlled removal of skin lesions with minimal effect on surrounding skin, supporting safer healing and better cosmetic outcomes, especially in visible or sensitive areas.
Enlarged oil glands that may appear as small, yellowish or skin-coloured bumps, commonly on the forehead, cheeks or nose.
Waxy, raised growths that may look “stuck on” the skin surface and often become more common with age.
Skin tags are benign raised growths that commonly develop in areas of friction such as the neck, underarms or body folds. Other benign bumps may require doctor assessment before removal.
Small white or skin-coloured cysts that form under the skin, often around the eyes and cheeks.
Doctor assessment is required before treatment to confirm suitability.
CO₂ laser lesion removal may be suitable for individuals with benign skin growths who are in generally good skin health, without active infection in the treatment area. Suitability depends on the lesion type, size, depth, location and skin condition.
If a skin growth has changed in size, colour or shape, or if it bleeds, hurts, forms an ulcer, looks irregular or you are unsure what it is, it should be assessed by a doctor before any removal is considered.
At TruGlow, a personalised assessment is conducted first to determine whether CO₂ laser lesion removal is suitable, or whether further medical evaluation may be required.
Treatment Journey
A detailed evaluation of your lesion type, skin condition and suitability for CO₂ laser lesion removal.
Doctor-performed removal using settings tailored to the lesion size, thickness, depth and location.
Aftercare guidance is provided to support healing, with follow-up review or further treatment recommended only if required.
Not all lesion removal methods are equal. technique used can affect scarring and healing.
Our doctor shares why fractional CO₂ laser technology allows for more precise lesion removal compared to traditional electrocautery. By targeting only the lesion and minimising heat spread to surrounding tissue, the treatment supports controlled depth, minimal collateral heat damage, and a more predictable cosmetic outcome.
Post treatment care, including antibiotic ointment, Mela B3 Serum and appropriate sun protection, plays an important role in reducing post inflammatory redness and supporting smoother recovery.
Benefits of CO₂ Laser Lesion Removal
Our medical-grade fractional CO₂ laser enables precise lesion removal while protecting surrounding healthy skin.
Unlike traditional heat-based methods, fractional CO₂ laser concentrates energy precisely at the lesion site.
Because surrounding skin is preserved, healing is typically more controlled and comfortable.
THE TRUGLOW APPROACH
Understanding Care at TruGlow
All lesions are carefully assessed by our doctor before any removal is performed.
If a lesion appears suspicious or requires further evaluation, we will advise appropriately before proceeding. Patient safety and accurate diagnosis always come first.
With doctor-performed fractional CO₂ laser treatment and proper aftercare, the risk of scarring is low.
The laser allows controlled depth and minimises heat spread to surrounding skin, supporting more predictable healing. Following aftercare and avoiding picking are important to reduce post-treatment marks.
A topical numbing cream is applied before the procedure to enhance comfort.
Most patients describe the sensation as mild warmth or minimal discomfort. Sensitivity varies slightly depending on treatment area and individual skin response.
Downtime varies depending on the treatment area, the size of your lesion, individual skin type, sensitivity, sun exposure and adherence to aftercare instructions.
⚠️ It is important not to pick or scratch the treated area as this may affect healing and cosmetic outcomes.
Recurrence depends on the type of lesion.
Skin Tags
Once completely removed, skin tags typically do not grow back in the same spot. However, individuals prone to friction areas may develop new ones over time.
Seborrhoeic Keratosis
These usually do not recur once fully removed, though new lesions may develop gradually with age.
Sebaceous Hyperplasia
While treated lesions can be effectively reduced, patients with oil-prone skin may develop new ones in the future.
Milia
Once extracted or ablated, the same milia usually does not return, but new milia can form depending on skin type and product use.
We will guide you on proper skincare, sun protection and preventive strategies to help reduce the likelihood of future recurrence.
Most benign lesions can be treated in 1–2 sessions.
Larger, thicker or deeper lesions may require up to 3 sessions for optimal cosmetic results. A personalised recommendation will be provided after assessment.
