Moles & Warts Removal

Benign skin lesions such as aesthetic moles, warts, fibromas, seborrheic keratoses, angiomas, or milia are common alterations that, while not harmful to health, can cause aesthetic concern, discomfort from friction, or evolve over time. At City Clinic Marbella, we perform their removal safely, precisely, and with minimal invasiveness, achieving excellent cosmetic results and quick recovery.

Doctors & Specialists:

Dr.Javier Pérez Diez

Before any procedure, our medical team performs a personalised diagnostic evaluation to confirm that the lesion is benign. When necessary, a digital dermatoscopy or biopsy may be carried out to rule out risks and define the best approach.
Once diagnosed, the most suitable technique is chosen from our ablative lasers (Erbium:YAG or CO₂) or radiofrequency micro-excision, depending on the lesion’s type and depth.
These advanced systems allow the layer-by-layer vaporisation of affected tissue without damaging surrounding skin, ensuring smooth regeneration and virtually scar-free results.
