Not every bump, tag, or raised area on the skin requires urgent medical attention. But benign does not always mean ignorable. In the Dane County area, outdoor pursuits like cycling the Military Ridge State Trail are common year-round. A large portion of the workforce also spends long hours in desk environments on the Epic Systems campus. For active and busy individuals, even a small increase in friction-prone areas can shift from a minor nuisance to a persistent daily irritant. For those concerns, removal is a simple, in-office clinical procedure.
At VIVE Med Spa, we provide fibromas/benign growths treatment in Verona, WI, for patients throughout Fitchburg, Madison, Middleton, Oregon, Belleville, and New Glarus. All treatments are performed by the medical provider following a clinical evaluation to confirm the growth is benign before any procedure is performed.
Fibromas are benign connective tissue growths that develop in or under the skin. Dermatofibromas are the most common type, presenting as small, firm, slightly raised nodules most frequently found on the legs. They are typically skin-colored to brown, may feel slightly tender when pressed, and can persist indefinitely without treatment.
Other benign skin growths treated at VIVE Med Spa include seborrheic keratoses, syringomas, and small non-suspicious fibrous lesions. These growths are non-cancerous and do not require removal for medical reasons, but many patients choose removal for comfort or cosmetic reasons.
The exact cause of most benign skin growths is not fully understood, but contributing factors include:
Many dermatofibromas are thought to develop at the site of a minor trauma, bite, or follicular inflammation.
Benign growths become more common with age as cumulative skin changes and follicular activity slow.
Seborrheic keratoses and some fibrous growths appear more frequently during hormonal transitions.
A predisposition to developing certain benign growth types runs in families.
Prolonged UV exposure over Dane County’s active outdoor summers contributes to the development of seborrheic keratoses and surface-level skin changes over time.
Clinical evaluation is worthwhile if:
Any growth that cannot be confirmed as benign on clinical evaluation is referred to dermatology for biopsy before removal.
Benign Lesion Removal (Cryotherapy)
Liquid nitrogen is applied to the targeted growth, freezing and destroying the tissue precisely. The treated area blisters, scabs, and sheds over 1 to 2 weeks. Cryotherapy is effective for a range of benign surface-level growths and requires no anesthesia for most patients.
Every growth is evaluated clinically by the medical provider before treatment. If a growth appears atypical or cannot be confidently confirmed as benign on clinical examination, a dermatology referral for biopsy is made before any removal.
Temporary discoloration at the treatment site is common and typically fades within several weeks. Permanent scarring is uncommon with standard cryotherapy on smaller growths. Your provider will discuss realistic expectations before treatment begins.
Yes. Up to 5 growths can be treated in a 15-minute session at $90. Sessions addressing more than 5 growths or exceeding 15 minutes are $180.
Most patients experience a brief stinging or burning sensation during liquid nitrogen application, lasting a few seconds. No anesthesia is required for standard presentations.
The treated growth typically does not recur. However, patients with a genetic predisposition or ongoing contributing factors may develop new growths in different locations over time.

At VIVE Med Spa in Verona, WI, evaluation and removal are performed by the medical provider with the clinical precision these growths require.
