What is a cyst?

A cyst is a lump located beneath the skin that is filled with fluid, usually similar in size and shape to a small pea. Although, they can gradually grow to a few centimetres across.

Cysts usually develop as a result of an infection or due to a blocked gland. They can also occur around in-growing hairs and are often found in the scalp or underarm area. They are more common after puberty or if you have suffered with acne.

Early cyst removal is recommended to reduce the risk of infection and to minimise scarring.

What is cyst removal treatment?

When cysts appear on your face or body, it is important that you get them checked over by a professional for diagnosis. Both body and facial cyst removal are considered cosmetic procedures, as they are not usually harmful. This means a private removal treatment will need to be arranged.

Before seeking removal, our Dermatologists at EF MEDISPA will thoroughly examine your skin. This will result in a diagnosis which recommends the best treatment through our London cyst removal clinic.

Here at EF MEDISPA, our professional dermatologists are experts in cyst removal procedures, well experienced in removing all types of cysts and use techniques that minimise scarring for the best results. We also offer treatments designed to help reduce the likelihood of further cysts developing, which is particularly important after sebaceous cyst removal.

How does cyst removal treatment work?

During the removal process at our London clinic, our skilled dermatologists will use a local anaesthetic to numb the area. A tiny cut is then made before squeezing or carefully cutting out the cyst, all completed in around 30 minutes.

Procedures may leave a small scar, but this will fade over time leaving excellent surgical results. If concerned, additional treatments can be discussed to speed up the healing time of scars.

Cyst Removal FAQs

How long will a cyst last?

A cyst will not heal until it is fully removed. It must be lanced, drained, and surgically excised before the healing process can begin. If you do not get treatment, cysts mat eventually rupture resulting in them partially draining. This can take months, or even years, and once they rupture, the painful sebaceous cyst will likely return if the pocket lining is not removed entirely.

Are cysts harmful?

Although cysts do not usually pose any threat to your health, cyst removal is advisable. If cysts are left untreated, benign cysts can result in serious complications such as infection. This is where the cyst fills with bacteria and pus, becoming an abscess. If the cyst bursts inside the body, there is even a risk of septicaemia.

How long does it take to remove a cyst?

Cysts can be removed while you are awake using local anaesthetic injections. This means procedures can take as little as 30 minutes to complete.

When should a cyst be removed?

Sometimes, cysts can grow and cause discomfort or pain. They can also be located in areas that cause embarrassment. If a cyst is interfering with the quality of your life in some way, discuss your treatment options with EF MEDISPA today.

What type of cysts are there?

Not all cysts are the same. There are several types that can form on or under the skin.

Sebaceous cyst - The most common type of cyst that affect the skin. Sebaceous cysts form when a hair follicle is damaged or a duct become blocked, resulting in trapped fluid beneath the skin.

Epidermoid - Formed through an accumulation of keratin beneath the skin, Epidermoid cysts often appear on the face, neck, head, and back. They're prone to infection which can result in red, swollen and painful cysts.

Ganglion - These differ from sebaceous and epidermoid cysts, mainly appearing near joints and on tendons. Ganglions are filled with a jelly-like material and vary in size. Depending on where they grow, Ganglion cysts can become painful and make joint movement difficult.

Pilar - A Pilar cyst grows on the surface of the skin and occurs when a hair follicle gets clogged. They can appear anywhere on the body but are most common on the scalp. Pilar cysts can be irritating and even cause hair loss in the location of the cyst.

After suffering with severe digestive problems for many years, I decided to book a course of hydrotherapy treats at EE Medispa in Chelsea. Having never had this treatment I was quite nervous but the staff and my practitioner Victoria made the whole process very comfortable. I have now been seeing Victoria for regular sessions for about two months and I can honestly say it has changed my life. I have completely changed my diet and the process of detoxification has helped me eliminate everything that was causing me to feel so unwell for many years. I would highly recommend this service to anyone with digestive issues. I am now on my second course of treatments and continue to see great results. This is one of the best investments in my health I have ever made. Thank you so much Victoria! : )

The Zone Out treatment was fantastic, it relaxed my mind and body, clearing my head of all that “London” stress … Victoria, the Hydrotherapist was incredibly knowledgeable and informative; above all making me feel at ease …I can’t wait to come back again!

I had Zone Out Colonic Hydrotherapy. I was immediately at ease with Victoria, she was both friendly and professional. I wasn't sure what to expect with this treatment but within a few minutes of it starting I was already in an extremely relaxed, almost meditative state. It was like being transported into a zone between asleep and awake where you are totally at calm - thoughts can enter your mind but you just let them float away. Afterwards I felt as though I had been asleep for a hours, I was relaxed but also rejuvenated. I would highly recommend trying this!

I had the Colonic; Victoria thoroughly explained every part of the procedure, which made for a relaxing experience. I can’t wait to come back again!

Victoria floats in, complete with bangles and maxiskirt, far from the overall-clad dominatrix I had envisaged. The consultation and treatment explanation are extensive but reassuring and by the time I am gowned up on the bed, I’d honestly trust her with my life. The process is much more civilised than you’d think. Within four sessions, my eyes are brighter, my skin is clearer and I have the energy of a five-year old on a sugar high. The difference is astounding.”

It felt GREAT. I’m booking my second visit already.

Victoria is incredibly nice about what must be one of the world’s least appealing jobs…I feel so slim, spritely and ready for a dance with John Travolta

I really can't tell you how much better my tummy feels today, like a real weight has been lifted. She is a fantastic therapist, and incredibly knowledgeable.
