Electrolysis is the longest established method of removing hair permanently. The method uses a very fine needle inserted into the hair follicle and we release a small amount of a heat producing current, which cauterises the blood supply to the hair. A series of treatments will be needed to get maximum results. During your consultation your therapist will explain the treatment to you in full detail. We are specialists in this field and have a proven track record.

A skin tag is a very common benign skin condition which consists of a piece of skin projecting from the surrounding skin. Skin tags can be found anywhere on the body, but are most commonly found around the neck, under the arms, eyelids and the groin area. We remove them quickly and effectively with diathermy.

Skin tags are common, acquired, benign skin growths that look like a small piece of soft, hanging skin. Skin tags are harmless growths. Some individuals may be more prone to tags (greater than 50-100 tags) either through increased weight, in part combined with heredity, or other unknown causes. Males and females are equally prone to developing skin tags. Obesity and being moderately overweight (even temporary increases in weight) dramatically increase the chances of having skin tags. Women of normal weight with larger breasts are also more prone to developing skin tags under their breasts. Some small tags spontaneously rub or fall off painlessly and the person may not even know they had a skin tag. Most tags do not fall off on their own and persist once formed. The medical name for skin tag is acrochordon.
