01 Dermatosurgeries

Skin surgery, kept small and neat.

Dermatosurgery covers the removal or correction of skin lesions such as cysts, moles, lipomas and pigment disorders. It is done under local anaesthesia with careful closure, so the scar is as discreet as possible. Anything removed can be sent for testing when needed.

Best for

Cysts and lipomas

Excision with biopsy

Moles and skin tags

Stable vitiligo patches

Small growths

Scar correction

02 Electrocautery & RF

Quick, precise removal, with little bleeding.

Electrocautery and radiofrequency use controlled heat to remove small skin growths with minimal bleeding. The area is numbed, the growth is treated in minutes and healing usually takes about a week. Aftercare keeps the skin clean and protects against pigment change.

Best for

Skin tags

Small benign growths

Warts

Moles

Milia and syringomas

Dermatosis papulosa nigra

03 Corn & Wart Removal

Painless relief, and fewer returns.

Corns come from pressure and friction, and warts from a viral infection, so the two need different treatment. We remove them with cautery, cryotherapy, RF or topical therapy, and correct the cause where we can. Warts can recur, so follow-up matters.

Best for

Painful corns

Footwear pressure problems

Plantar warts

Common hand warts

Genital warts

Recurrent warts

05 Nail Surgery

Relief for the nail, without a long recovery.

Ingrown toenails, injured nails and nail-bed growths can be treated in a short day-care procedure under local anaesthesia. The aim is to remove the problem, ease the pain and keep the nail growing normally. You walk out the same day with clear dressing instructions.

Best for

Ingrown toenails

Recurrent nail infections

Painful nail edges

Nail-bed injuries

Nail cysts and growths

Itchy or painful scars

06 Nail Disorders

Your nails say a lot. We read them properly.

Changes in colour, thickness or shape can come from fungus, psoriasis, injury or an underlying health issue. We test to find the cause and treat with medication, procedures or care routines as needed. Nails grow slowly, so patience is part of the plan.

Best for

Fungal nails

Painful or swollen nail folds

Discoloured or thickened nails

Brittle, splitting nails

Pitting and ridging

Nail changes with psoriasis

07 Ear Lobe Repair

A torn lobe, neatly restored.

Heavy earrings and accidents can stretch or split the lobe. A short procedure under local anaesthesia reshapes and stitches it so it looks natural, and the ear can usually be re-pierced once it has healed. It is a quick fix with a lasting result.

Best for

Split or torn lobes

Re-piercing after repair

Stretched piercing holes

Heavy-earring damage

Injury from pulled earrings

Uneven or drooping lobes
