Skin Tag Removal
Small benign fibrous growths hanging from the skins surface
​
Skin Tags are usually found on the neck, underarm and groin areas but can also be found on the eyelids. Skin Tags are very common and harmless and are usually a few millimetres in size but may be as big as a few centimetres.
What causes skin tags?
Skin tags can affect both men and women. They most commonly occur where the skin folds or creases (most commonly on the neck, armpits, around the groin or under the breasts) and are more likely to affect people who are overweight for this reason. Skin tags can be hereditary, and people who have type 2 diabetes or are pregnant are also more prone to them while others may develop them for no apparent reason.
They are removed safely without harming the surrounding skin using an Advanced Cosmetic Procedure. A tiny probe applies heat to the tags causing them to shrivel and disappear.

Skin Tags look a little like warts and are made of loose collagen fibres and blood vessels surrounded by skin. Although skin tags are common they are completely harmless, and they do not usually cause any pain or discomfort. However, they can get caught on clothing or jewellery and bleed as a result, and can look unsightly.

This safe and effective technique enables minor skin blemishes to be easily and quickly treated often with immediate results
Milia
Frown lines can be seen as vertical lines in between the eyebrows and are common in people who frown a lot or have been overexposed to the sun. Small injections are used to treat these lines, in between and along the brow.
Thread Veins
Thread Veins are blood capillaries that have become permanently dilated or occasionally broken near the surface of the skin. Normally, these tiny veins and blood vessels in the skin are invisible. However once permanently dilated, the blood is trapped and shows through as a red thread vein.
Blood/Cherry Spots
Angiomas or cherry moles are benign bright red dome shaped structures. They lie just under the surface of the skin and are most common on the trunk or torso. Most people aged over 30 have at least one and they are even more common in men than women.
Seborrhoeic Keratosis
Seborrhoeic keratosis is a benign, asymptomatic mass, primarily caused by the ageing process. It is also known as seborrhoeic warts, senile warts, barnacles or basal cell papilloma. They have a thick wart-like surface and are usually colourless when they appear and become brown to black over time.
Spider Naevus
A central blood vessel becomes dilated and the smaller capillaries branching out from it radiate in different directions.
It appears close to your skin surface and looks like a spider with its legs spread out. It can be isolated or appear in clusters at different areas of the skin surface.
Sebaceous Cyst
Sebaceous cysts are filled with a clear, oily liquid made by the sebaceous glands and are usually found on the face, neck and trunk of the body.
