Your Skin, Our Expertise

In the case of a malignant skin cancer excision, we will remove the cancer and some normal-looking skin around it. The normal-looking skin is checked under a microscope to make sure all the cancer has been removed and the wound will be closed with sutures and a dressing.

This technique removes benign growths such as areas of sun damage, seborrhoeic warts and occasionally low risk skin cancers. The abnormal tissue is removed by scraping with a sharp scalpel or razor blade flush with the surface of the skin. We use a cauterizing device, and the resulting wound will be left to heal like a graze.

Hyperhidrosis — excessive sweating — is a common condition. Botulinum toxin works by blocking the nerves which activate your sweat glands and the injections are given into the area that commonly sweats. Typically patients would have treatment once or twice a year.

A corticosteroid injection can reduce the thickness, redness and symptoms of noticeable scars. Steroids break the bond between collagen fibres which reduces the amount of scar tissue beneath the skin. The process may require multiple sessions.

Cryotherapy removes skin lesions by freezing them with liquid nitrogen. Most commonly used to remove actinic keratoses (sun-damaged skin), viral warts, seborrhoeic keratoses, Bowen's disease and other benign lesions.

Removal of moles, cysts, warts, skin tags and shave excision. The approach depends on the size, location, and nature of the lesion. Atypical moles are usually removed under local anaesthetic by scalpel. Benign raised moles, warts or skin tags are usually removed by shave excision.
