Skin tags are small benign growths attached to the skin by a small thin stalk. Skin tag removal is a simple process completed by a doctor. Removing skin tags at home can be painful and often bleed heavily or become infected.
Not all moles are dangerous but sometimes the location can be annoying causing irritation. At Melanoma Scan we perform cosmetic mole removal with simple in-house surgical procedures.
Photodynamic Therapy (PDT) is a treatment based around the compound of two chemicals. Both chemicals specifically bind to premalignant or cancerous cells, and when activated by a bright light, form a reaction that kills the affected cells.
Our skin cancer doctors are also skilled surgeons. This means that if a skin cancer is found, the Doctor can remove the lesion at the time of the initial consultation. A biopsy is always performed to identity the type of skin cancer and if further treatment options are required.
A focus on cosmetic procedures is used in all applications in the clinic.
