Skin & Medical Treatments

What types of moles or skin lesions can you remove?

We remove benign moles, skin tags, cysts, lipomas, cherry angiomas, seborrheic keratoses, and warts using minimally invasive techniques. Suspicious lesions are biopsied and sent for histopathology.

What is skin cancer reconstruction?

Skin cancer reconstruction restores the appearance and function of the skin after surgical removal of skin cancers, often using skin flaps and grafts, especially on the face.

Does mole removal leave a scar?

We use advanced techniques to minimise scarring, and in many cases, scarring is barely visible.

Aftercare & Recovery

Is there any downtime after treatment?

Most treatments have minimal to no downtime, but specific aftercare instructions will be provided based on your procedure.

How do I care for my skin after a procedure?

We will provide detailed aftercare instructions tailored to your treatment, including avoiding sun exposure and using recommended skincare products.

What if I experience side effects?

Mild swelling, redness, or bruising may occur temporarily. If you have concerns, contact the clinic for advice.
