Conditions Treated |
Keloid Scars and Raised Scars
What are keloid scars?
These are scars which become raised, shiny and are rubbery to the touch. There may associated irritation or even pain, and increased pigmentation.
They are more likely to occur in darker skin types and can growand spread to cover larger areas than the original scar or cut. Apart from being unsightly they can restrict movement.
They can also cause pressure on the surrounding tissues and thereby restrict circulation and cause harm to adjunct structures such as skin, tendons and muscles. |
Leg and Facial Veins
Embarrassed by unsightly veins?
No need to be! Using the very latest in highly controlled laser techniques it’s now possible to remove broken leg and facial veins, as well as annoying thread veins, from where they are most unwanted, just below the surface of the skin where they can look like red or purple blotches. If left untreated such veins can expand, making them even more unsightly.
At the Harley Street Medical Skin Clinic we can suggest different treatmentsto remove unsightly veins, helping to bring the fun back into summer…

Lines & Wrinkles
Always looking cross, or worried?
Laughter lines, crows feet, call them what you will, they can add character, but they can also age us prematurely, making us look older than we are or feel.
Most usually they are caused by too much exposure to the sun, smoking, excessive weight loss, or just a general loss of elasticity in the skin.
Modern treatments can help to relax the muscles under the skin, causing the skin itself to smooth. Sub-dermal fillers can be used to ‘ pump up’ and fill the lines, making the skin look youthful and fresh. |
Melasma and Choasma
Melasma (also known as chloasma and the Mask of Pregnancy) is a facial skin discoloration, dark or tan in colour and appears as brown patches on the skin.
Who is affected by Melasma?
It mostly occurs in women, but men can be affected
Especially prevalent in pregnant women Women taking oral contraceptives or hormone replacement therapy (HRT)
Men and women of Mid and Eastern European descent
Men and women of Hispanic, Asian, Middle Eastern and Northern African descent
Women with a light brown skin type who are living in regions with intense sun exposure are particularly susceptible
Genetic predisposition is also a major factor in determining whether someone will develop Melasma.
What does it look like?
Dark, irregular patches, often found on both sides of the face. Commonly found on the upper cheek, nose, lips, upperlip, and forehead. |
Moles and Skin Bumps
Got a beauty spot, which isn’t?
It’s now possible to remove warts, moles and other skin bumps by using high pitched radio waves. These radio waves interact with the cells of the unwanted bump causing them to simply vaporise, with no bleeding and with far less scarring than usual. This procedure is quick and efficient, most often only requiring a single visit lasting less than half an hour. It can be used to remove unsightly spots from any part of the body. |
Obesity Management
Involves recognition of the problem and the planning of sensible and realistic measures to return the body to its optimal weight. Targets need to be achievable, with rewards at each stage. |
