LIPOMA TREATMENT
Lipoma Treatment at Ashven Health
Safe, advanced treatments to remove lipomas with minimal scarring, faster healing, and long-lasting results.
What is a Lipoma?
A lipoma is a benign fatty lump that feels soft and moves easily under the skin when touched. Lipomas can develop anywhere in the body but are most commonly found on the shoulders, neck, arms, back, and thighs. Although they are not cancerous, treatment is often recommended for cosmetic concerns, pain relief, or when they continue to grow.
