Treating Benign Pigmented Lesions

As we get older, many of us will develop ´pigmented warts´ (seborrhoeic keratosis) which are named ´warts´ but are not contagious. Even though benign, you might want to remove pigmented lesions for cosmetic reasons (e.g. they're unsightly or they catch on your clothes). Small pigmented lesions can be removed with ACP by one our Medical Aestheticians. Bigger lesions can be removed surgically by one of our doctors under local anaesthesia.

Treating Blood Vessel-Related Lesions

Harmless vascular lesions such as 'cherry angiomas' or 'spider nevi' may appear on the skin with age. They are common and appear as bright red, slightly raised blemishes, mostly on the midrift. Most people aged over 30 years have at least one. There are a number of different treatments available including micro-sclerotherapy, which involves one of our Aesthetics Doctors injecting a solution to ´seal´ the blood vessel.

Treating Breakouts and Acne

Our most treated problems; breakouts, acne, and spots, occur across a range of ages. It is important not to neglect these as acne can persist right into your 40s leaving scars. Avoid self-treating with inappropriate over-the-counter products. Instead seek professional help from our dermatologists. Eudelo can offer tailored regimes, acne and Dermatology Grade Facials™, anti-aging prescription creams and deep pore cleansing.

Treating Chronic Sun Damage

Actinic keratoses' (AKs) affecting the face, scalp, hands and forearms, arise in the form of pre-cancerous lesions, common on older people and fair complexions. They stem from over-exposure to sun. AKs feel like a rough patch of skin, can look slightly red or appear as a lesion continuously scabbing. AKs are pre-cancerous, so immediate attention is crucial through in-clinic 'freezing' (cryotherapy), 'surgical scraping' (curettage) or potent prescription creams.

Treating Eczema & Dermatitis

Eczema is a chronic skin condition, affecting the face and body. In infants; it primarily forms on convex-skinned areas, such as the cheeks, progressing to areas such as the such as the arm flexures, behind the knees and on the neck in adulthood. Our dermatologists can offer a tailored regime of medically recommended creams, ointments, steroid-free creams, and oral supplements. Alternatively, phototherapy (‘light treatment’) can be prescribed for more severe cases.

Treating Excessive Sweating

Excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis) can be a miserably debilitating condition. For the palms and soles as well as the underarms, we can prescribe topical solutions and special home-use iontophoresis machines (electrical impulse therapy).Injections with botulinum toxin ('Botox') are also an extremely effective option for the armpits which last 6-12 months. Feedback from patients has been extremely positive and we have been told repeatedly that this is a life-changing treatment.

Treating Hair Loss

The hair growth problems we see most often in clinic are diffuse, hormone-related hair loss (androgenetic alopecia), stress related hair loss (telogen alopecia) and patchy hair loss (alopecia areata). We can sample blood to assess hormone levels and prescribe specialist scalp tincture, mixed by our partner pharmacy, which contains a number of highly effective active ingredients to help combat hormonal hair loss.

Treating Infections

There are many types of infections which we see in clinic which include bacterial (e.g. folliculitis, impetigo), fungal (e.g .athletes foot) and viral infections (e.g. herpes, warts, shingles). If you suspect you have any type of skin infection we recommend you see one of our Dermatologists as soon as possible for prompt diagnosis and treatment.

Treating Irregular Pigmentation

We see many patients with patchy facial pigmentation (melasma / chloasma) or mottled pigmentation (sun-related skin ageing) in clinic. It has been shown in scientific studies that irregular pigmentation can affect how old, attractive and healthy you are perceived to be. Pigmentation is a very stubborn problem that won't disappear overnight, but we can prescribe a combination of skin lightening creams, sun protection and advanced weekly pigment treatments in clinic.

Treating Milia ‘milk spots’

Milia are harmless and common lesions which are common and affect all ages. They are filled with keratin material (not pus!) and appear as small, white, and hard facial bumps sometimes in clusters and sometimes individually. We cna remove these offer through a painless Fit Skin ForeverTM Facial that pre-softens the skin before extraction.

Treating Moles

Our Dermatologists can inspect your entire body, top to toe (even under the feet and on top of the scalp) to make sure there are no worrying lesions. If there is anything remotely suspicious, our Dermatologist will examine the lesion with a dermatoscope, a special magnifying lamp with a polarising light, at no extra cost. Often a diagnosis can be made with this device in a completely non-invasive way.

Treating Nail Problems

Nail changes may be due to fungal infections (onychomycosis), skin diseases such as psoriasis or lichen planus, a deficiency in nutrients such as Zinc, an underlying systemic illness or other reasons. In clinic our Dermatologist might take nail scrapings for a fungal culture and/or some blood for testing when we begin treatment.
