A cyst is a closed sac beneath the skin that may contain fluid, keratin, or other material. They can develop anywhere on the body and may remain stable or gradually increase in size.
Cysts are common skin conditions that can vary in size, location, and symptoms. While many are harmless, some may become inflamed, infected, or cosmetically concerning.
Some cysts remain painless, while others may:
Approximately 20–45 minutes
Minimal (1–7 days depending on area)
Single treatment
Immediate removal of the cyst
 Local anaesthetic
Assessed during consultation
Many non-surgical approaches (such as drainage) may provide temporary relief but do not remove the cyst capsule, increasing the risk of recurrence.

Cyst removal is a medical procedure and requires appropriate clinical assessment.
At DNC clinic:
The procedure is performed under local anaesthetic to ensure comfort.
Complete removal of the cyst wall reduces the risk of recurrence, though no procedure can guarantee this.
Any surgical procedure may leave a small scar. We use techniques to minimise visibility.
Most can be treated, but suitability is confirmed during consultation.
Most patients resume normal activities within a few days.
Start with a medical consultation so we can assess suitability, understand your goals, and create a natural, personalised plan.
