Skin Tag, Milia & Benign Spot Removal in Canberra
Little bumps and spots can bother you more than anyone realises. Quick, careful treatment can help you feel more at ease in your skin.
A skin tag that catches on your necklace. Tiny white bumps under your eyes that won't budge. Small, rough or waxy spots that seem to multiply. They're usually harmless, but they can be irritating, and they're often the first thing you notice when you look in the mirror.
At Skin Wellness Academy, we assess every lesion carefully and remove it only if it's benign, using a method chosen for the type of spot.
Important: your skin health comes first
Every lesion is assessed first, and we only remove it if it's benign. If a lesion looks even slightly suspicious, a skin check will be required before treatment. If you notice a spot that is new, changing, bleeding, itchy or different from your others, please see your GP or a skin cancer clinic.
How we help
Your clinician assesses each lesion first. If it's benign, they treat it with the most suitable method. It can be booked as a stand-alone treatment, or as an add-on for a small number of lesions alongside another treatment. New clients begin with a Skin Strategy Session.
