Blood spots

Blood spots are bright red, vascular blemishes which develop on the body (very often on the trunk or torso) and develop naturally as the

skin ages and cell renewal slows down. They are properly known as Campbell de Morgan spots.

Sebaceous Cysts

Sebaceous Cysts are small lumps or bumps found just underneath the surface of the skin. They are benign and are closed 'sacs' that contain

a substance called Sebum which is a 'cheesy' looking protein that often has an unpleasant odour.

Dermatosis Papulosa Nigra

Dermatosis Papulosa Nigra is a common disorder which develops in adolescence on black skin and is identified by smooth, dome shaped,

brown to black papules seen mainly on the cheeks, neck and upper chest.

Verrucas

Verrucas develop on the soles of the feet and are slightly raised and circular in shape. They can sometimes form small clusters which are

called 'mosaic warts'. If left untreated, they can persist for several years and become quite painful.

Skin Tags

Skin tags are very common and normally found around the bust, neck or areas of friction such as the underarm. They are harmless but can be

both unsightly and irritating.

Facial Thread Veins.

These are conditions that are most commonly found on the face (particularly around the nose) and cheeks .They can be caused by many

factors, including ageing, pregnancy, harsh weather and smoking. The needle is put on to the vein and then an electrical current is released. The current will cauterize the vein, killing the vessel wall and causing the blood to coagulate, come to the surface and then disappear.

Moles

Once the mole has been checked out medically, we introduce the current direct into the area several times. This causes it to shrink and

form a scab, which will fall off in about 10 days. Scarring is very rare, making it a perfect procedure.

Syringoma

A Syringoma is a non-cancerous, benign bump usually found on the upper cheeks, lower eyelids, armpits, chest, abdomen or forehead.

Completely harmless, it is caused by the overgrowth of cells from the sweat glands.

Xanthelasma

Xanthelasma is a condition which is presented as a collection of cholesterol usually found on or beneath the eyelids. Although not

harmful or painful, these growths may be cosmetically unattractive and can be removed. A needle is inserted underneath to scrap off the pocket of fatty tissue.
