Alton Hampshire mole removal is carried out at Hampshire Specialist Skin Clinic. The procedure is undertaken by an aesthetically trained podiatrist. Podiatrists are well placed to remove benign skin growths with considerable expertise in scalpel techniques. It is not widely known, but some podiatrists can perform minor skin surgery to encompass the upper body. Podiatrists have extensive knowledge of skin conditions and wound care.
Podiatrists are able to diagnose many dermatological skin conditions and detect suspicious and cancerous moles. Unfortunately, not all podiatrists have extended scope of practice to remove benign upper body skin growths. Additional cosmetic medical insurance is required. Advertising such a service has to be kept distinctly separate from podiatry treatments. Offering minor skin surgery is secondary to podiatry.
There are just a handful of UK podiatrists who perform minor skin surgery. These aesthetic podiatrists do not mislead the public to claim they are dermatologists or doctors. Serious upper body skin conditions and growths are not treated. The aesthetic podiatrist will appropriately refer the patient in the right direction. Only superficial skin growths like seborrheic keratosis, moles, broken veins, cutaneous warts, small sebaceous cysts and skin tags will be treated once deemed to be benign. Any growth suspected of being suspicious will not be treated.
At Compleet Feet Katrina Waller is our aesthetic podiatrist. She has extensive aesthetic training and one of the UK’s highest awarded Laser qualifications. She uses a variety of modalities to effectively perform minor skin surgery e.g. electrosurgery, cryotherapy and lasers. Each laser is specific to what condition it is been targeted. To ensure comfortable and painfree treatments Katrina is skilled in analgesic techniques.
Katrina does not charge expensive London clinic prices. In her view having the right specialist skill set and equipment makes many treatments very easy. It takes minutes to remove unsightly skin tags and moles. More time is spent ensuring each perspective patient has a thorough consultation. No laser treatment will be performed without a patch test. Individuals are given the time to consider treatment options before consenting. A cool-off period.
It is far safer to go to a trained medical practitioner like a podiatrist than a beauty therapist. Always ask for what qualifications a treating individual has. Play safe.
