Skin Lesion Removal Dorset | Nurse Cosmetics

Diathermy is a fast, effective, safe solution for removing skin imperfections.

Diathermy Treatment

Diathermy is an advanced technique offering a fast, effective, and safe solution for removing a variety of skin imperfections, including skin tags, warts, milia, thread veins, blood spots, seborrhoeic keratosis and age spots.

The process uses high-frequency electrical currents to gently heat and destroy the targeted tissue, ensuring precision removal with minimal impact on surrounding healthy skin. The treatment removes lesions instantly, with most sites forming a small scab that heals within one to two weeks.

Common Skin Lesions

Common Skin Lesions

Skin Tags: Small growths on the skin, often found in areas of friction, such as skin folds.
Warts: Rough, raised lesions caused by a virus, commonly appearing on hands or feet.
Milia: Tiny white bumps caused by trapped keratin under the skin.
Thread Veins: Small, visible red or purple veins close to the skin’s surface, often found on the face or legs.
Blood Spots: Bright red spots caused by broken blood vessels, typically appearing on the torso.
Seborrhoeic Keratosis: Harmless, raised growths with a waxy or wart-like appearance, usually found on the face, chest, or back.
Age Spots: Flat, pigmented spots caused by sun exposure, commonly seen on the face, hands, or arms.

Mole Reduction

Mole reduction treatment is available; however this can only be performed following an assessment and confirmation from your GP that the mole is benign and safe to treat.

Cosmetic procedures such as skin lesion removal are no longer being offered by many practitioners on the NHS, so treatment at Nurse Cosmetics is a good alternative.

Although very low risk there are few side effects that may occur, these include redness and swelling, temporary nerve damage, hair follicle damage and permanent alopecia (especially when treating areas with coarse hair).
