Cosmetic Corrections

Skin tags

Skin tags are small benign tumours that look like excess skin build-up. They are very common and typically form around the eye, which can potentially impede your vision. Whilst they are harmless they can be inconvenient and aesthetically unappealing. Safe removal your skin tags is best done with laser technology to minimise bleeding or scarring issues.

Age/brown spots

Age spots are brown or black flat spots of varying sizes that commonly occur on the areas of your body most exposed to sun. They tend to appear later in life but can affect young people as well, particularly if they’ve had a lot of sun exposure.

Age spots are harmless. However can be very similar in appearance to melanoma – something our Drs are very skilled in picking up. Visually determining whether or not a spot is benign can be difficult with the naked eye and will be reviewed if necessary. If your Dr has any concerns, you may require a biopsy¹⁰.

Warts

If you’re a parent you’re probably all too familiar with the struggles of managing warts, children are infamous for them.

Warts are small, hardened growths that appear the hands and feet as a result of viruses. Whilst warts themselves are not contagious, the viruses that cause them are, which is why they can spread so rapidly, particularly throughout families. Although they are very common and not in themselves a health concern, they can be embarrassing and cause self-consciousness. Warts can be removed over 2 – 3 procedures to prevent relapse⁴.
