Skin tags, warts, moles etc can be unsightly - they can also be a nuisance if you accidently knock them and make them sore, bleed and potentially become infected. As well as those mentioned, I can remove a variety of skin blemishes including thread veins, pigmented marks and cherry angiomas (red spots).
I offer both Advanced Electrolysis and Cryotherapy to treat these complaints. I will advise you which is the best option for you - eg skin tags can have thin or thick "pedicles" (stalks), which affect the choice of treatment.
Similarly, wart removal treatment of choice depends on the size, location and thickness of the wart.
Skin tags and warts in the genital region require treatment by a sexual health clinic.
The photograph shows a skin tag that has been caught with a comb by accident, and has become sore and irritated. It took just 5 minutes to remove using electrolysis.
Cryotherapy is a simple and quick solution to the removal or treatment of skin tags, warts, cherry angiomas, age spots, senile keratosis, etc.
A pen device is used to administer a fine jet of extremely cold gas which has the effect of destroying the tissue by freezing the inter-cellular fluid. The resulting ice crystals destroy the membranes of the cells of the lesion being treated, with no damage to healthy tissue.
What can be treated with a Cryo-pen?
- Cherry Angiomas
- Pigmentation
- Skin tags
- Verrucae
- Warts
- Milia
- Age spots
Cryotherapy is quick to perform, painless and results in minimal scar formation. Results can however take up to 4 -6 weeks on average, and may require a repeat visit for larger or deeper lesions.
Advanced Electrolysis can be used to treat the following:
- Skin tags
- Moles
- Warts
- Thread veins
- Spider veins
- Milia
- Cherry Angioma
- Sebaceous cysts
- Syringoma
- Xanthalasma
- Senile warts
- Dermatosis Papulosum
Advanced electrolysis takes longer to perform than a cryotherapy treatment, but the skin lesion can usually be removed completely during one session and this is also suitable for thread veins and spider veins. Skin tags can be removed in one session using electrolysis.
