Below, you’ll find brief descriptions of the conditions we treat and how our laser treatments can help.
XANTHELASMA
What is Xanthelasma?
Xanthelasma are yellowish, cholesterol-rich deposits that typically appear on or around the eyelids. These flat or slightly raised plaques are often harmless but can be a cosmetic concern for many. Though commonly linked to high cholesterol levels, they can also occur in individuals with normal lipid profiles. Xanthelasma may increase in size over time and are not known to resolve on their own.
How We Treat Xanthelasma?
At our clinic, we use the advanced Dermablate CoolLaser, a state-of-the-art Erbium:YAG laser, to safely and precisely treat xanthelasma. This minimally invasive laser targets only the affected tissue with high precision, removing the deposits layer by layer without damaging surrounding skin. The treatment is quick, highly effective, and involves minimal downtime, offering a smoother, clearer appearance with reduced risk of scarring.
MILIA
What is Milia?
Milia are small, white or yellowish cysts that commonly appear on the face, particularly around the eyes and cheeks. These tiny bumps form when dead skin cells become trapped beneath the skin’s surface rather than naturally exfoliating. Though harmless and painless, milia can be a cosmetic concern for many people and are often resistant to regular skincare treatments.
How We Treat Milia:
At our clinic, we use the Dermablate CoolLaser, an advanced Erbium:YAG laser, to safely and effectively treat milia. This precise laser gently ablates the outermost layer of the skin, allowing the trapped keratin to be released without damaging the surrounding tissue. The treatment is quick, minimally invasive, and suitable for sensitive facial areas, offering visible results with little to no downtime.
SYRINGOMAS
What is a Syringoma?
Syringomas are benign (non-cancerous) sweat gland tumors that typically appear as small, flesh- colored or yellowish bumps around the eyes, cheeks, or other parts of the face. While harmless, they can be a cosmetic concern for many individuals. Syringomas are usually more common in women and may become more noticeable with age or hormonal changes.
How We Treat Syringoma:
At our clinic, we use the advanced Dermablate CoolLaser, an Erbium:YAG laser, to effectively treat syringomas with precision and minimal discomfort. This state-of-the art laser targets the affected areas with controlled energy, gently vaporising the lesions layer by layer while preserving the surrounding skin. The result is smoother, clearer skin with minimal downtime and a significantly reduced risk of scarring.
BENIGN DERMAL NAEVUS
What is a Dermal Naevus?
A dermal naevus (also known as an intradermal nevus) is a common type of benign (non-cancerous) mole that forms within the deeper layers of the skin. These moles are typically skin- colored or slightly pigmented and often appear raised or dome-shaped. They can develop anywhere on the body and are generally harmless, though some people choose to remove them for cosmetic reasons or if they become irritated.
How We Treat Dermal Naevus:
At our clinic, we treat dermal naevi using the advanced Dermablate CoolLaser, an Erbium:YAG laser known for its precision and minimal downtime. This laser gently ablates the upper layers of the skin with high accuracy, allowing for the safe and effective removal of the naevus while minimising damage to surrounding tissue. The procedure is quick, with minimal discomfort, and promotes smooth, clear skin with excellent cosmetic results.
SKIN TAGS
What are Skin tags?
A skin tag is a small, soft, benign growth that typically appears on areas of the body where skin rubs against skin or clothing—such as the neck, underarms, eyelids, or groin. These harmless
lesions are composed of collagen fibers and blood vessels and are often flesh-colored or slightly darker. While skin tags are not dangerous, many people choose to remove them for cosmetic reasons or if they become irritated.
How We Treat Skin Tags:
At our clinic, we use the advanced Dermablate CoolLaser, a highly precise Erbium:YAG laser, to safely and effectively remove skin tags. This laser targets the tissue with minimal damage to the surrounding skin, making the procedure quick, gentle, and virtually painless. The Dermablate CoolLaser promotes rapid healing and leaves minimal scarring, offering a clean and comfortable solution for restoring smooth, tag-free skin.
SEBORRHOEIC KERATOSIS
What is Seborrhoeic Keratosis?
Seborrhoeic keratosis is a common, benign skin growth that often appears as people age. These growths can vary in color from light tan to dark brown or black and typically have a waxy, wart-like appearance. While they are harmless and non-cancerous, many people choose to have them removed for cosmetic reasons or if they become irritated by clothing or friction.
How We Treat Seborrhoeic Keratosis:
At our clinic, we use the advanced Dermablate CoolLaser, an Erbium:YAG laser, to safely and effectively treat seborrhoeic keratosis. This laser targets the abnormal skin cells with precision, vaporizing the lesion while minimizing damage to surrounding healthy tissue. The treatment is quick, involves minimal discomfort, and promotes smoother, clearer skin with minimal downtime.
ACTINIC KERATOSIS
Actinic keratosis is a common skin condition caused by prolonged exposure to ultraviolet (UV) rays from the sun or tanning beds. It appears as rough, scaly patches on sun-exposed areas such as the face, scalp, hands, and forearms. These lesions are considered precancerous, meaning they have the potential to develop into squamous cell carcinoma if left untreated. Early detection and treatment are key to preventing progression and maintaining healthy skin.
How We Treat Actinic Keratosis:
At our clinic, we use the Dermablate CoolLaser, a cutting-edge Erbium:YAG laser, to treat actinic keratosis effectively and precisely. This laser targets damaged skin cells with minimal impact on surrounding healthy tissue, promoting rapid healing and smoother skin. The treatment is minimally invasive, typically well-tolerated, and results in improved texture and tone, making it a highly effective solution for patients seeking both medical and cosmetic improvement.
DERMATOSIS PAPULOSA NIGRA (DPN)
What is Dermatosis Papulosa Nigra (DPN)?
Dermatosis Papulosa Nigra (DPN) is a common benign skin condition characterized by small, dark bumps that typically appear on the face, neck, chest, and back. It primarily affects individuals with darker skin tones and often becomes more noticeable with age. These spots are not harmful, but some people choose to have them removed for cosmetic reasons or due to irritation from shaving or clothing.
How We Treat DPN:
We offer precise and effective treatment for DPN using the Dermablate Erbium:YAG laser. This advanced laser technology gently vaporises the raised lesions with minimal damage to surrounding tissue, ensuring a smooth result and reduced risk of scarring. The procedure is quick, requires little to no downtime, and is suitable for various skin types. Multiple sessions may be recommended depending on the number and size of lesions.
PYOGENIC GRANULOMA
What is Pyogenic Granuloma?
A pyogenic granuloma is a small, red, benign skin growth that often bleeds easily. It can appear anywhere on the body but is most common on the hands, arms, and face. These growths are usually caused by trauma or hormonal changes.
How We Treat Pyogenic Granuloma:
Our laser treatment uses the Lynton Motus AY laser to precisely target and remove the granuloma. The laser cauterises the blood vessels within the growth, effectively removing it and minimising bleeding. This method is quick, with minimal discomfort and downtime.
VENOUS LAKE
What is Venous Lake?
A venous lake is a small, dark blue to purple benign lesion that commonly appears on sun-exposed areas like the lips or ears. It is caused by a dilation of tiny blood vessels and is typically harmless but can be cosmetically concerning.
How We Treat Venous Lake:
We use the Lynton Motus AY laser to treat venous lakes by targeting the dilated blood vessels with precise laser energy. This causes the vessels to collapse and be reabsorbed by the body, reducing the appearance of the lesion. Laser treatment is effective and results in minimal scarring.
CHERRY ANGIOMA
What is Cherry Angioma?
Cherry angiomas are small, benign skin growths made up of clusters of tiny blood vessels. They often appear as bright red or purple bumps on the skin, commonly found on the torso, arms, and legs. While they are typically harmless and painless, some people choose to remove them for cosmetic reasons or if they become irritated or bleed.
How We Treat Cherry Angiomas:
At our clinic, we use the advanced Deka Motus AY, featuring the Nd:YAG laser, to safely and effectively treat cherry angiomas. This laser precisely targets the blood vessels within the angioma without damaging the surrounding skin. The treatment is quick, minimally invasive, and requires little to no downtime, making it an ideal option for those looking to restore clear, even-toned skin.
VIRAL WARTS
What are Viral Warts?
Viral warts are small, rough growths on the skin caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV). They commonly appear on the hands, feet, and other areas subject to friction or minor trauma. While generally harmless, warts can be persistent, uncomfortable, and cosmetically distressing. They spread through direct contact and may multiply if left untreated, making early and effective intervention important.
How We Treat Viral Warts:
The Lynton Motus AY laser effectively destroys the wart tissue by targeting the blood supply, causing the wart to shrink and eventually fall off. This method is quick, virtually painless, and requires minimal downtime—offering a safe, modern solution for stubborn or recurrent warts.
