Dermatology is a practice that incorporates sound medical principles with cosmetic procedures that are safe, effective, and minimally invasive.
With so many choices available for patients, it can seem overwhelming to decide who can offer the best advice, the safest treatments and the most dependable outcome. Television, magazines, and other media can give misleading information to patients who are curious about the latest products and procedures.
Procedures
Intense Pulsed Light
For the treatment of red thread veins, acne, unwanted hair, sun-damaged skin, photo rejuvenation, red & brown blotchy skin and age spots. Also used as an alternative to laser therapy where this has failed to work sufficiently well.
Treatments for lines and wrinkles
Treatments for localised excess sweating
Soft tissue fillers
For volume loss and to smooth out wrinkles.
Photo Dynamic Therapy (PDT)
For the scar free treatment of thin skin cancer and pre-cancerous growths where surgery would be disfiguring.
Cryotherapy
Liquid nitrogen treatment for viral warts and other superficial blemishes.
Dermatoscopy
For the accurate assessment of moles. This technique confidently diagnoses harmless skin blemishes from skin cancers including melanoma. This avoids unnecessary surgery and allows for long-term mole monitoring in those at risk from developing skin cancer, particularly melanoma.
Skin surgery
The removal under local anaesthetic in a modern skin surgical unit of harmless but annoying skin lesions and skin cancer.
Allergy Testing
Assessment of immediate and delayed allergic reactions. RAST tests, food battery and inhalation battery screens, and patch testing.
