Skin Treatments
Biopsy
During your skin check, your doctor may discover a suspicious mole or lesion. If this happens, they will discuss the option of a minor procedure called a biopsy with you. A biopsy involves removing a small tissue sample from your body so that it can be analysed in a laboratory. This procedure is quick and safe
Excision
Skin excision is a precise surgical procedure in which a lesion or abnormal area of skin is carefully removed along with a surrounding border of normal skin. This technique ensures that the entire affected area is taken out to minimise the risk of residual disease. This procedure involves the use of a local anaesthetic to numb the area, followed by careful incision and removal with a scalpel. After the excision, the wound is closed with stitches, and then removed tissues is sent to the laboratory for analysis to ensure that no abnormal cells remain at the margins.
Cryotherapy
Cryotherapy involves the use of extreme cold using liquid nitrogen to treat various skin conditions and lesions. It is a minimally invasive procedure where the liquid nitrogen is sprayed onto the targeted area to cause a destructive reaction that heals over several days. Cryotherapy promotes healing and helps prevent the progression of abnormal skin conditions, it is a typically quick with minimal discomfort procedure. This procedure offers a safe and efficient solution for maintaining skin health.
