Diathermy

Diathermy is a non-invasive treatment used in skin aesthetics to remove benign skin lesions, including skin tags, angiomas, seborrheic keratosis and DPNs. The treatment uses high-frequency electrical currents to target and heat tissue, which efficiently removes unwanted growths without damaging surrounding skin. It is quick, precise, and requires minimal downtime, offering a safe and effective solution for the removal of common benign lesions.
​
A consultation is required prior to receiving fine wire diathermy. Lesions must be assessed to determine suitability for treatment, and pre- and post-care instructions will be provided if the treatment is deemed suitable.

Skin Tag Removal

Using diathermy, skin tags are safely and effectively removed with precision. This technique utilises high-frequency electrical currents to target and eliminate unwanted skin growths, ensuring minimal downtime. The procedure is quick, minimally invasive, and helps restore smooth, clear skin.​​​

Sebaceous Hyperplasia

Diathermy utilises a precise electrical current to target and treat sebaceous hyperplasia, a condition where overactive sebaceous glands form small, flesh-coloured bumps on the skin. This treatment safely reduces these bumps caused by clogged or enlarged oil glands, promoting smoother, clearer skin. The procedure is quick with minimal downtime, making it an effective solution for sebaceous hyperplasia.

Superifical Benign Lesions
(Seb K, DPNs)

Diathermy is an effective treatment for removing superficial lesions, including seborrheic keratosis (Seb K), dermatosis papulosa nigra (DPN), and other benign skin growths. Using a fine wire probe, high-frequency electrical currents are applied to cauterise and remove the lesions, ensuring precise results with minimal scarring. This quick, non-invasive procedure offers minimal downtime, with only mild swelling or redness, making it ideal for treating unwanted skin growths.

Cherry Angiomas

Fine wire diathermy is a precise and effective treatment for removing cherry angiomas. A fine wire probe delivers a high-frequency electrical current to the angioma, coagulating the blood vessels and causing the red pigmentation to diminish as the capillaries close. The procedure is quick, with minimal discomfort, and typically results in mild redness or swelling that resolves within a few hours, offering minimal downtime.​​
