Warts
There are various types of warts, including plane, common, seborrhoeic and verrucas (plantar). All can be easily and successfully treated. Warts can develop individually or in clusters, and are generally viral in nature.
Milia
These are tiny white hard lumps containing keratin which lie superficially under the surface of the skin and can be easily treated with ACP techniques. Their exact cause is unknown, although they are often associated with dry skin.
Skin Tags
Skin tags are a common occurrence in men and women that are viral in nature. They are quickly and easily treated with immediate results.
Facial Thread Veins
These are permanently dilated capillaries. They have very thin walls which constantly constrict and dilate. As we age, these vessels lose their elasticity and can become permanently dilated. There are numerous causes including eyeglass wear, aging, smoking, extreme sports, weather, hormones and skin fragility.
Blood Spots
These are bright red vascular blemishes which lie just under the surface of the skin. They are dome shaped or slightly raised and are most common on the trunk or torso. Most people over 30 have at least one and they are more common in men than women.
