Minor Procedures
Assessment and Removal of Common Skin Lesions
Skin growths and soft-tissue concerns are common and can develop for a variety of reasons. While many lesions are benign, changes in size, shape, appearance, or symptoms may warrant medical assessment.
Our Minor Procedures Clinic offers evaluation and treatment for select lesions that may be appropriate for office-based surgical management.
Conditions considered for assessment include:
- Lumps and bumps
- Moles (nevi)
- Skin tags
- Cysts
- Other benign-appearing skin lesions
- Small lesions suitable for minor surgical treatment
Following an assessment, Dr. Matic will discuss whether a procedure is appropriate and explain the available options.
Where clinically indicated, removed tissue may be submitted for pathological examination to support diagnosis.
Our goal is to provide a comfortable, professional environment where patients can have their concerns assessed and receive clear information about the next steps in their care.
Scar Clinic
Personalized Scar Assessment and Treatment in London, Ontario
Scars are a natural part of the healing process, but some may become raised, prominent, uncomfortable, or cosmetically concerning.
Our Scar Clinic provides individualized assessment and treatment recommendations for patients looking to improve the appearance, texture, or symptoms of existing scars.
We assess a range of scar concerns, including:
- Surgical scars
- Traumatic or injury-related scars
- Raised or prominent scars
- Hypertrophic scars
- Keloid scars
- Scars associated with discomfort or other symptoms
- Cosmetically concerning scars
Understanding Different Types of Scars
Hypertrophic Scars
Hypertrophic scars are raised scars that remain within the boundaries of the original wound. They may appear red, thickened, or firm and can sometimes cause itching or discomfort.
Keloid Scars
Keloids are raised scars that extend beyond the original wound or injury. They may continue to grow over time and can be associated with itching, tenderness, or cosmetic concerns.
Surgical and Traumatic Scars
Scars following surgery, accidents, injuries, or other trauma can vary significantly in appearance and texture. Some may heal with widening, uneven contours, discolouration, or noticeable thickening.
Individualized Scar Treatment Options
No two scars are exactly alike. Treatment recommendations are personalized according to several factors, including:
- Scar type and characteristics
- Location on the body
- Age and maturity of the scar
- Thickness, texture, and appearance
- Associated symptoms
- Individual treatment goals
Following your consultation, Dr. Matic will discuss appropriate treatment considerations and potential next steps.
The objective is to develop a treatment approach that is medically appropriate and aligned with your individual concerns.
