With over 35 years of experience caring for patients across the full range of skin health, our team of Cosmetic Doctors and dermatological practitioners helps you work through skin concerns with confidence and clear information. Whether you're managing a medical skin condition or thinking about cosmetic options, we focus on personalised care that puts your wellbeing first. ## Overview of dermatological treatments Dermatology covers a broad range of treatments for conditions affecting the skin, hair, and nails. At Me Clinic, our procedures span from medical treatments for acne, eczema, and psoriasis through to cosmetic procedures aimed at improving skin texture, tone, and overall appearance. Understanding your options is the first step toward making informed decisions about your skin health. The sections below walk through the most common and widely sought-after procedures in modern dermatology — explained clearly and honestly. --- ## Medical dermatology treatments ### Acne treatment Acne is one of the most common skin conditions, affecting people of all ages and often carrying real emotional weight alongside its physical effects. Our team approaches acne with both clinical expertise and genuine empathy, tailoring each plan to the individual. Treatment options depend on severity and may include: - **Topical treatments:** Retinoids, benzoyl peroxide, and topical antibiotics for mild to moderate acne. - **Oral medications:** Systemic antibiotics, hormonal therapies, and isotretinoin for persistent or severe cases, always with careful monitoring and open discussion about what to expect. - **Procedural treatments:** Chemical peels, comedone extraction, and intralesional corticosteroid injections to manage active breakouts and reduce the likelihood of lasting scarring. - **Light and laser therapies:** Blue light therapy and laser treatments target acne-causing bacteria and calm inflammation. Every acne treatment plan accounts for your skin type, condition severity, lifestyle, and previous treatment history. ### Eczema (atopic dermatitis) management Living with eczema means navigating a chronic inflammatory skin condition that can significantly affect daily comfort and quality of life. Our approach focuses on managing symptoms, reducing flare-up frequency and intensity, and giving you practical tools for the long term. Treatment pathways may include: - **Emollients and moisturisers:** Regular emollient application is the cornerstone of eczema management, protecting and restoring the skin barrier. - **Topical corticosteroids:** The first-line treatment for reducing inflammation during flare-ups, prescribed with guidance on safe, effective use. - **Topical calcineurin inhibitors:** Non-steroidal alternatives such as tacrolimus and pimecrolimus for sensitive areas of the face and body. - **Systemic treatments:** For severe or treatment-resistant eczema, systemic immunosuppressants or biologic therapies may be considered. - **Phototherapy:** Narrowband UVB therapy is a well-established option for widespread eczema that hasn't responded adequately to topical treatments. ### Psoriasis treatment Psoriasis is a chronic autoimmune condition causing rapid skin cell turnover, producing the thick, scaly plaques that affect both physical comfort and emotional wellbeing. Treatment options include: - **Topical therapies:** Corticosteroids, vitamin D analogues, coal tar preparations, and salicylic acid for mild to moderate psoriasis. - **Phototherapy:** UVB phototherapy and PUVA (psoralen plus ultraviolet A) therapy for moderate to severe presentations. - **Systemic medications:** Methotrexate, cyclosporine, and acitretin for more extensive disease. - **Biologic therapies:** Newer biologic agents targeting specific immune pathways have genuinely transformed outcomes for patients with moderate to severe psoriasis, and our team stays current with these advances. ### Rosacea management Rosacea causes persistent redness, visible blood vessels, and sometimes acne-like breakouts, predominantly on the face. It can be frustrating to manage, but with the right approach, significant improvement is achievable. Our strategies include: - **Topical treatments:** Metronidazole, azelaic acid, and ivermectin creams to reduce redness and calm inflammation. - **Oral antibiotics:** Low-dose doxycycline to reduce inflammatory lesions, with a well-established safety profile. - **Laser and light therapies:** Intense pulsed light (IPL) and vascular lasers are effective at targeting persistent redness and visible blood vessels. - **Lifestyle modifications:** Identifying and avoiding personal triggers — sun exposure, spicy foods, alcohol, temperature extremes — is an important part of long-term management. ### Skin cancer screening and treatment Skin cancer is among the most common cancers, and early detection makes a real difference. Our team guides you through the process with thoroughness and clear communication. Dermatological services for skin cancer include: - **Skin cancer checks:** Comprehensive full-body skin examinations to identify and monitor suspicious lesions. - **Dermoscopy:** A specialised technique using a dermatoscope to examine skin lesions in far greater detail than the naked eye allows. - **Biopsy:** Removal of a small tissue sample for laboratory analysis to confirm or exclude malignancy. - **Surgical excision:** The primary treatment for most skin cancers, involving precise removal of the cancerous lesion with an appropriate margin of healthy tissue. - **Mohs micrographic surgery:** A specialised surgical technique offering the highest cure rates for certain skin cancers, particularly in cosmetically sensitive areas of the face and neck. - **Non-surgical treatments:** Topical therapies such as imiquimod and 5-fluorouracil, photodynamic therapy (PDT), and cryotherapy for superficial skin cancers and pre-cancerous lesions where appropriate. ### Wart and molluscum treatment Warts and molluscum contagiosum are common viral skin infections that, while not dangerous, can be persistent and bothersome. Treatment approaches include: - **Cryotherapy:** Liquid nitrogen applied to freeze and destroy the lesion. - **Topical treatments:** Salicylic acid preparations and imiquimod cream for gradual removal with minimal discomfort. - **Laser therapy:** CO2 or pulsed dye laser for resistant or widespread lesions. - **Curettage:** Mechanical removal using a curette for a direct, reliable result. ### Fungal skin infections Fungal infections such as tinea (ringworm), tinea pedis (athlete's foot), and onychomycosis (nail fungus) are common and very treatable: - **Topical antifungals:** Creams, gels, and nail lacquers for localised, well-contained infections. - **Oral antifungals:** Terbinafine, itraconazole, and fluconazole for more extensive infections or those involving the nails, where systemic treatment yields better results. --- ## Cosmetic dermatology procedures ### Anti-wrinkle injections Anti-wrinkle injections use a carefully dosed purified protein to temporarily relax the facial muscles responsible for dynamic wrinkles — those formed over time by repeated facial expressions. When performed by qualified practitioners with a thorough understanding of facial anatomy, the results look naturally refreshed rather than overdone. Common treatment areas include: - Forehead lines - Frown lines (glabellar lines) - Crow's feet - Bunny lines - Brow lifting - Lip lines - Chin dimpling - Neck bands (platysmal bands) Results typically last three to six months, after which repeat treatments maintain the effect. Our Responsible Cosmetic Medicine™ philosophy means we always prioritise what looks right for you — never more than necessary, always with your natural appearance as the reference point. ### Dermal fillers Dermal fillers are injectable substances used to restore volume, soften lines and wrinkles, and enhance facial contours in a way that complements your natural features. Hyaluronic acid fillers are the most widely used, valued for their safety profile and reversibility. Treatment areas include: - Nasolabial folds (smile lines) - Marionette lines - Lip augmentation and definition - Cheek augmentation and contouring - Under-eye hollows (tear troughs) - Jawline definition - Chin augmentation - Temple volumisation - Hand rejuvenation Results from hyaluronic acid fillers typically last between six and eighteen months, depending on the product used, the treatment area, and individual metabolism. We discuss realistic expectations before any treatment proceeds. ### Chemical peels Chemical peels involve applying a chemical solution to the skin to exfoliate and remove damaged outer layers, revealing smoother, more evenly toned skin beneath. They're classified by depth, and our team will recommend the most appropriate option for your skin and goals: - **Superficial peels:** Use mild acids such as alpha-hydroxy acids (AHAs) or low-concentration trichloroacetic acid (TCA) to gently exfoliate the outermost skin layer. Well-suited for mild pigmentation, fine lines, and uneven texture with minimal downtime. - **Medium-depth peels:** Typically use TCA at higher concentrations to penetrate into the upper dermis. Effective for moderate pigmentation, acne scarring, and fine to moderate wrinkles, with several days of recovery. - **Deep peels:** Use phenol or high-concentration TCA to penetrate deeply into the dermis. Reserved for significant sun damage, deep wrinkles, and severe pigmentation — these require meaningful recovery time and careful patient selection. Chemical peels can address acne, post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, melasma, sun damage, and general skin rejuvenation. ### Laser and light therapies Laser and light-based treatments are among the most versatile tools in cosmetic dermatology, addressing a wide range of skin concerns with precision. #### Fractional laser resurfacing Fractional lasers deliver energy to the skin in a pixelated pattern, creating microscopic treatment zones while leaving surrounding tissue intact. This promotes faster healing and supports natural collagen remodelling. Applications include: - Acne scarring - Surgical and traumatic scarring - Fine lines and wrinkles - Skin texture and tone improvement - Stretch marks Both ablative (e.g., CO2, Erbium:YAG) and non-ablative fractional lasers are available, offering varying degrees of efficacy and downtime to suit different lifestyles and skin concerns. #### Intense pulsed light (IPL) IPL uses broad-spectrum light to target chromophores in the skin, making it effective for: - Sun damage and age spots - Redness and rosacea - Broken capillaries and vascular lesions - Pigmentation irregularities - Overall skin texture improvement IPL treatments typically require a series of sessions for the best outcome and involve minimal downtime. #### Laser hair removal Laser hair removal uses targeted light energy to reduce unwanted hair by disabling the follicle, resulting in permanent hair reduction over a course of treatments. It works best when there's a contrast between hair colour and skin tone, though advances in laser technology have expanded suitability across a broader range of skin types. Common treatment areas include the legs, underarms, bikini line, face, back, and chest. #### Vascular laser treatments Vascular lasers such as the pulsed dye laser (PDL) target haemoglobin within blood vessels and are effective for: - Port wine stains - Haemangiomas - Spider veins - Facial redness and flushing - Rosacea #### Pigmentation lasers Q-switched and picosecond lasers target melanin in the skin and treat a range of pigmentation concerns, including: - Sunspots and age spots - Melasma - Café-au-lait macules - Nevus of Ota - Tattoo removal ### Microneedling Microneedling — also known as collagen induction therapy — uses fine needles to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin, stimulating the body's natural healing response and encouraging fresh collagen production. Applications include: - Acne scarring - Fine lines and wrinkles - Enlarged pores - Uneven skin texture - Stretch marks - Skin laxity Radiofrequency (RF) microneedling combines traditional microneedling with radiofrequency energy delivery, enhancing skin tightening and rejuvenation outcomes for patients seeking more significant improvement. ### Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy PRP therapy draws on your body's own regenerative capabilities. A small amount of your blood is taken, processed to concentrate the platelets and growth factors, then reintroduced to the treatment area through injection or topical application. For patients interested in biologically driven approaches, PRP is a compelling option. Applications include: - Facial rejuvenation and skin quality improvement - Hair loss treatment (androgenetic alopecia) - Acne scarring - Under-eye rejuvenation ### Skin tightening treatments Non-surgical skin tightening procedures use energy-based technologies to stimulate collagen production and improve skin laxity without surgery or significant downtime. Common modalities include: - **Radiofrequency (RF) treatments:** Deliver controlled heat energy to the deeper layers of the skin, stimulating collagen and elastin remodelling. - **Ultrasound therapy (HIFU):** High-intensity focused ultrasound reaches the deep structural layers of the skin, providing a lifting and tightening effect that builds gradually. - **Combination treatments:** RF and ultrasound technologies are often used alongside other modalities for enhanced results. ### Body contouring Non-invasive body contouring treatments reduce localised fat deposits and refine body shape without surgery. To be clear: these are not weight-loss treatments, but they can be effective for stubborn areas that resist diet and exercise. Technologies include: - **Cryolipolysis:** Uses controlled cooling to freeze and destroy fat cells, which are then gradually eliminated by the body over several weeks. - **Radiofrequency lipolysis:** Applies RF energy to heat and reduce fat cells while tightening the overlying skin. - **High-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) for fat reduction:** Targets subcutaneous fat with precisely focused ultrasound energy. ### Sclerotherapy Sclerotherapy is a minimally invasive procedure used to treat spider veins and small varicose veins. A sclerosant solution is injected directly into the affected vessel, causing it to collapse and gradually fade. It's a safe, effective, low-downtime treatment for improving the appearance of leg veins. --- ## Skin rejuvenation and maintenance treatments ### Medical-grade facials and skin treatments Medical-grade facials go well beyond standard cosmetic facials, incorporating pharmaceutical-grade active ingredients and clinical techniques to address specific skin concerns. These may include: - Enzyme treatments - Hydradermabrasion - Microdermabrasion - LED light therapy - Oxygen infusion treatments ### Hydradermabrasion Hydradermabrasion combines exfoliation with the simultaneous infusion of hydrating serums into the skin. Suitable for all skin types, it addresses: - Congestion and enlarged pores - Dehydration - Uneven skin tone - Fine lines It's a comfortable treatment that leaves the skin feeling genuinely refreshed. ### LED light therapy LED (light-emitting diode) therapy uses specific wavelengths of light to target different skin concerns: - **Blue light:** Targets acne-causing bacteria and reduces inflammation. - **Red light:** Stimulates collagen production and supports the skin's natural healing processes. - **Near-infrared light:** Penetrates deeper to reduce inflammation and promote tissue repair at a cellular level. LED therapy is non-invasive, entirely painless, and works well as a standalone treatment or alongside other procedures. --- ## Surgical dermatology ### Mole and lesion removal Moles, cysts, lipomas, and other benign skin lesions can be removed for cosmetic reasons or when there's clinical concern about their nature. Techniques include: - **Excision:** Surgical removal with precise suturing for a clean, well-healed result. - **Shave excision:** For raised lesions, a blade shaves the lesion flush with or slightly below the skin surface. - **Punch excision:** A circular blade removes small, well-defined lesions with minimal surrounding disruption. - **Laser removal:** Suitable for certain superficial lesions where a non-cutting approach is preferred. All removed lesions are sent for histopathological analysis to confirm their nature. ### Cyst removal Epidermal cysts, pilar cysts, and other skin cysts can be surgically removed under local anaesthetic in a straightforward, well-tolerated procedure. The technique involves careful excision of the cyst and its wall to minimise the risk of recurrence. ### Scar revision We offer a range of techniques aimed at improving the appearance of scars from surgery, trauma, acne, or other causes: - **Surgical scar revision:** Excision and careful re-closure to produce a finer, less noticeable result. - **Intralesional injections:** Corticosteroid or 5-fluorouracil injections for hypertrophic scars and keloids. - **Laser scar treatment:** Fractional lasers, vascular lasers, and pigmentation lasers to improve scar colour, texture, and height. - **Subcision:** A minimally invasive technique to release tethered acne scars and restore a smoother surface. - **Dermal fillers:** Used to elevate depressed scars and restore a more even contour. - **Microneedling and RF microneedling:** Stimulate collagen remodelling to progressively improve atrophic scars. --- ## Hair and scalp treatments ### Hair loss assessment and treatment Hair loss can be a deeply personal experience, regardless of its cause. Understanding the root cause is essential before recommending any treatment pathway. Hair loss (alopecia) may result from androgenetic alopecia, alopecia areata, telogen effluvium, scarring alopecias, and other conditions. Treatment options include: - **Topical minoxidil:** A widely used topical treatment for androgenetic alopecia in both men and women. - **Oral medications:** Finasteride and dutasteride (for men), and spironolactone or low-dose oral minoxidil (for women) to address hormonal drivers of hair loss with careful monitoring. - **PRP therapy:** Platelet-rich plasma injections into the scalp to stimulate hair follicle activity using your body's own growth factors. - **Low-level laser therapy (LLLT):** Uses laser or LED light to stimulate hair follicle function and support regrowth. - **Hair transplantation:** Surgical restoration using follicular unit extraction (FUE) or follicular unit transplantation (FUT) techniques, performed with precision and an eye for natural-looking results. ### Scalp conditions Common scalp conditions managed within our dermatological services include: - **Seborrhoeic dermatitis:** Managed with medicated shampoos, topical antifungals, and anti-inflammatory agents. - **Scalp psoriasis:** Treated with topical corticosteroids, vitamin D analogues, and coal tar preparations, with escalation to systemic options when needed. - **Tinea capitis:** A fungal infection of the scalp requiring systemic antifungal treatment for full resolution. - **Folliculitis:** Inflammation of hair follicles managed with topical or oral antibiotics and antiseptic washes, depending on severity. --- ## Nail treatments Our team manages a range of nail conditions with the same care we bring to all areas of dermatology: - **Onychomycosis (nail fungus):** Treated with topical or oral antifungal medications, with the approach guided by the extent and severity of infection. - **Psoriatic nail disease:** Managed with topical treatments, intralesional injections, or systemic therapies as appropriate. - **Ingrown toenails:** Treated with conservative measures first, with nail avulsion or surgical correction available when needed. - **Nail biopsy:** Performed when nail changes raise clinical concern or require histopathological diagnosis to guide management. --- ## What to expect at a dermatology consultation A dermatology consultation at Me Clinic is a genuine conversation — one where you feel heard, informed, and supported. A typical consultation involves: 1. **Medical history review:** A thorough review of your medical history, current medications, allergies, and previous skin treatments. 2. **Skin examination:** A comprehensive examination of the skin, including all areas of concern. 3. **Diagnosis and discussion:** A clear, honest explanation of the diagnosis, your treatment options, realistic outcomes, and any risks involved. 4. **Treatment plan:** A personalised treatment plan tailored to your needs, goals, and lifestyle. 5. **Follow-up:** Scheduling of follow-up appointments to monitor progress and refine the treatment plan as your skin responds. Come prepared with a list of your current medications, any previous skin treatment records, and a clear sense of your concerns and goals. --- ## Choosing the right dermatological treatment Several factors shape the right choice for each individual: - **Skin type and tone:** Certain treatments carry a higher risk of adverse effects in darker skin tones and require modified or alternative approaches. - **Severity of the condition:** The extent and nature of your skin concern guides the balance between topical, procedural, or systemic treatment options. - **Downtime and recovery:** We're upfront about what each treatment involves in terms of healing time, because life doesn't pause for recovery. - **Treatment goals:** Whether your primary goal is medical management, cosmetic improvement, or both will shape the direction of your care. - **Budget:** The cost of treatment, including the number of sessions required, is a practical consideration we address honestly and without pressure. Our qualified Cosmetic Doctors and dermatological practitioners will walk you through each of these factors, helping you identify the most suitable pathway forward. --- ## Safety and aftercare Thoughtful aftercare is an essential part of achieving good outcomes and minimising the risk of complications. General aftercare principles include: - **Sun protection:** Broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher sunscreen applied daily is non-negotiable, particularly following treatments that increase photosensitivity. - **Gentle skincare:** Avoiding harsh products, excessive exfoliation, and potential irritants during the recovery period protects your skin as it heals. - **Hydration:** Keeping the skin well-moisturised supports the healing process and helps maintain a healthy skin barrier. - **Avoiding heat and exercise:** Following certain treatments, we'll advise you to avoid heat exposure and vigorous exercise for a specified period. - **Follow-up appointments:** Attending scheduled follow-up appointments allows our team to monitor your healing and address any concerns promptly. Every patient receives comprehensive aftercare guidance following their procedure. --- ## Conclusion Dermatological treatments cover a vast and continually evolving field with real solutions for both medical and cosmetic skin concerns.
