Cosmetic Dermatology
The Skin Company offers a range of cosmetic treatments designed to help you get beautiful, glowing skin. We are committed to providing safe and effective solutions that will address your cosmetic concerns. We provide expert treatment for wrinkle reduction, acne and acne scars, rosacea, age spots, hair loss, mole removal and hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating).
We have Sciton’s BBL and Moxi laser for head to toe transformation.
Sciton BBL Hero is a powerful intense pulsed light (IPL) technology. BBL uses photothermal energy to gently heat the upper layers of the skin, stimulating regeneration of cells and dramatically giving skin a more youthful appearance. It sets new standards for achieving significant skin improvements associated with aging, treating brown or red dyschromia like sun damage, pigment, rosacea, broken vessels, spider angioma, spider veins and low grade acne. BBL corrective reduces unwanted melanin and eliminates fine vessels that cause redness – helping your skin look smoother, healthier and vibrant with a more even skin tone.
The Moxi laser, is an extremely effective non ablative laser that works for all skin colours, all year round. Moxi is game changer for pigment including melasma, skin texture, pore size, skin clarity and sun damage. Moxi laser can aid to correct problematic areas of blemishes or scarring (including c-section scars) and also help to regenerate the skin by stimulating collagen and elastin production while also improving overall tone and texture of skin.
Skin Surgery
We perform skin cancer surgery for all types of skin cancers including melanomas and non-melanoma skin cancers such as Squamous Cell Carcinomas (SCCs) and Basal Cell Carcinomas (BCCs). Sometimes a small biopsy or sample of the tumour is taken at the initial consultation to confirm the diagnosis of skin cancer or melanoma. This is particularly likely if the nature of the tumour is not certain after clinical examination. We also excise lumps and bumps that you may choose to have removed. This may include surgical or non-surgical options.
Skin Cancer Prevention Therapies
Sunspots which are also known as actinic keratoses or solar keratoses are precancerous spots that occur on the skin in sun damaged individuals. They occur in sun-exposed areas such as the face, hands, arms and lower legs. It is important to treat these precancerous lesions to avoid the progression to skin cancer and thus avoid the need for invasive surgery Your treatment of sunspots will depend on how many you have and this will be assessed at the time of the full skin examination. Some of the treatments available are cryotherapy, Efudix, Aldara, and Photodynamic therapy (PDT)
Skin and Mole Checks
Skin cancer is the most common type of cancer in the world, and it comes in different types including basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, and melanoma. Symptoms of skin cancer may include a new abnormal painful growth, new or changing mole, scaly patch of skin or a pearly growth beneath the skin that repeatedly bleeds, At The Skin Company we excel at detecting early subtle signs of skin cancer. Skin cancers are commonly found in areas that have been exposed to sun. Risk factors for skin cancer include having a lighter complexion, excessive lifetime sun exposure, and a family history of skin cancer. Skin cancer screening by a Dermatologist is well known to be the most accurate way of diagnosing skin cancers.
