Medical skin care
Our clinics provide expert solutions for various skin conditions and growths with minimal discomfort and scarring.
Skin lesions, such as moles, cysts, and lipomas (fatty lumps), are common and can be removed for both medical and cosmetic reasons. Our specialists use minimally invasive techniques to remove these growths with minimal discomfort and scarring. Each procedure begins with a thorough assessment of the lesion to determine the best approach, which could involve excision, shave removal, or cautery, ensuring optimal results with minimal downtime.
We can treat the following conditions:
Moles
Moles can appear anywhere on the skin, sometimes in prominent or irritating locations. Our team evaluates moles for any signs of abnormality before removing them with precision. Depending on the mole’s size and location, we use techniques designed to minimize scarring and allow for a quick return to daily activities.
Skin Tags
These small, benign skin growths are often found in areas of friction, like the neck, armpits, or groin. Quick and painless removal options are available.
Cysts
Sebaceous cysts are common, often appearing as small, painless bumps beneath the skin. While typically benign, cysts can become infected, inflamed, or bothersome. We offer quick and effective cyst removal using sterile, minimally invasive procedures to prevent recurrence. Our aftercare includes guidance on how to promote healing and avoid infection.
Lipomas
Lipomas are soft, fatty growths that develop under the skin and can vary in size. While harmless, they can be uncomfortable or unsightly. Our clinicians remove lipomas using targeted surgical techniques to extract the fatty tissue and prevent regrowth, all while minimizing discomfort and scarring.
Warts
Warts and skin tags are common and typically benign, but they can be removed if they are causing discomfort or affecting appearance. We offer several removal options, including cryotherapy (freezing) and excision, depending on the size, location, and type of lesion. Our approach is quick and effective, with a focus on reducing any discomfort.
Seborrheic Keratoses
Non-cancerous, waxy growths that appear with age and can be removed for cosmetic reasons.

Our procedures
We use a range of minor surgical techniques to effectively treat each condition, with a focus on minimal discomfort and reduced recovery times:
Excision
Involves the surgical removal of growths, such as moles, cysts, and lipomas, with a small margin of surrounding skin. This method ensures complete removal and minimizes the risk of recurrence.
Cryotherapy
Cryotherapy, or "cold therapy," involves freezing abnormal tissue, such as warts or certain types of skin lesions, to destroy them. This quick, non-invasive treatment is ideal for small skin lesions and is often completed within a few minutes. Cryotherapy minimizes scarring and has a short recovery period, making it a convenient option for many patients.
Shave Removal
For smaller, raised lesions like some moles and skin tags, a shave removal technique is used to reduce scarring while providing a smooth skin surface.
Cauterization
For specific types of skin lesions, cauterization is used to destroy abnormal tissue while minimizing bleeding, promoting healing, and reducing the risk of infection.
Common questions
Minor skin surgery procedures are usually performed under local anaesthesia, so patients experience minimal discomfort.
Scarring is typically minimal, and we use techniques that minimize the appearance of scars. We’ll discuss scarring potential for your specific procedure during the consultation.
Recovery times vary based on the procedure. Most patients can return to normal activities shortly after their appointment, with minimal downtime.
