Assessing moles and removing blemishes at HGface
Solutions for skin blemishes, scars and moles with HGface
What is a skin blemish?
A blemish is any type of mark, spot, discoloration, or flaw that appears on the skin. Skin tags, age spots, thread veins, warts and moles are just a few of the types of skin blemishes that we regularly see in the clinic, both on the face and other parts of the body.
Scarring can occur as a result of acne or chicken pox, post-surgery or as a consequence of injury.
Blemishes on the face may be emotionally upsetting, but most are benign and relatively easy to remove. Some blemishes, however, can signal skin cancer meaning that early detection and diagnosis is key.
We can assess and give advice on skin blemishes and we can offer a fast and convenient screening for assessing moles and potentially suspicious lesions through our partnership with
Map My Mole.

What Treatments Are Available For Skin Blemish Removal?
We offer two treatments in clinic to reduce or remove moles and other skin blemishes:
Skin Blemish Removal – Sterex® Diathermy
This is an increasingly popular, safe, effective and hygienic treatment for the removal of unsightly common skin blemishes. Sterex® Diathermy is an advanced electrolysis treatment which uses a small electrical current to quickly and painlessly tackle a wide variety of conditions such as dilated capillaries, skin tags, milia and sun spots to name but a few.
Due to the pin-point accuracy possible with Sterex®, even the smallest area can be targeted with millimetre precision with no risk of collateral damage to surrounding healthy tissue.

Cryopen®
Cryopen® uses cryotherapy to treat localised skin conditions such as warts and verrucae, age spots and moles (subject to mole screening if necessary). The Cryopen® is a device that we can use to accurately freeze the affected area with liquid nitrous oxide without damaging the healthy skin around it.

Treatments for Scars
When a wound heals, it may eventually turn into a scar. Scars come in numerous forms and may be caused by injuries, acne, burns, stretch marks or surgery. Very often the appearance of a scar can be visibly improved by certain skin treatments that promote wound healing and regeneration of collagen.
If you have a scar that you would like to improve, either on the face or elsewhere on your body, please talk to us about how we can help.
