Syringoma Removal

Syringoma removal at Centre for Surgery is provided by GMC-registered specialists working from our CQC-regulated Baker Street clinic. Syringomas are benign tumours of the eccrine sweat ducts, presenting as small skin-coloured or pale yellow papules typically clustered on the lower eyelids and upper cheeks. We treat syringomas with erbium YAG laser ablation, which precisely vaporises the visible portion of the lesion while preserving deeper skin layers. Most patients need 2 to 3 sessions for clearance because syringomas extend deep into the dermis. We use conservative settings for patients with skin of colour to minimise the risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. Treatment is performed under topical or local anaesthetic in our day-case procedure rooms.
