Moles are small, coloured spots which form on the skin. They may appear flat or raised, feel smooth or rough and some may even have hair growing out of them. Most people have them and they are usually nothing to worry about unless they change shape, size or colour. Although common moles may be present at birth, they usually appear later in childhood and increase during teenage years – most adults usually have between 10 to 40 on their face and body. Often, patients would like them removed for visual or practical reasons. Moles can often catch on necklaces or tight clothing, which can cause discomfort and occasional bleeding.
We use Cryotherapy that offers a quick and incredibly effective treatment that removes unwanted skin lesions and erases skin defects safety, precisely and comfortable. Controlled and pain free with no need for anaesthesia, it provides the perfect solution for unwanted benign Moles.
Cryo-Therapy emits a fine jet of nitrous oxide at -89C Allowing your clinical practioner to work with millimetre precision. Working in circular and criss-cross movements, the tiny cold blasts destroys the affected tissue by freezing the inner-cellular fluid, forming ice shards and crystals that rupture the cell membrane, Thereby destroying the cell.
