The ellipse operator guides the light from the flash-lamp to the treatment are. The unique Ellipse system carefully filters this light in two ways to ensure that only light with the correct characteristics (wavelengths) is allowed to reach your skin. The light that is allowed through is absorbed by the haemoglobin, which is the red pigment in blood. The light from the flash-lamp heats up the haemoglobin in the fine blood vessels that supply the sebaceous glands and slows down the overproduction of oil that leads to acne.

Moles are very common. They may be flat or elevated. Sometimes they grow hairs. The most important feature however is pigmentation – a brown discolouration of the overlying skin. When should you be suspicious of a mole?Recent appearance of pigmentationPigmentation that becomes darkerItching or irritationBleedingGrowth in size especially a growth spurtA mole which was once flat becoming raised.If you are concerned about the above or any other changes you should consult with Ailesbury. Histology done at St. Vincents University Hospital.  The majority of skin lesions can be treated in a relatively simple manner. This entails surgical excision under local anaesthesia. Therefore the assessment and excision can frequently be performed at the initial consultation. If a skin cancer is suspected a diagnostic biopsy may have to be performed at the initial consultation. The treatment is completed as soon as the report is available.If the lesion has a completely benign appearance there is no need to request laboratory analysis.Therefore apart from skin cancers the treatment can frequently be completed on a single visit.

Warts are a result of the most common viral infection of the skin. Plantar warts grow on the plantar surface, or the sole, of the foot. They can be found anywhere in this area but tend to produce symptoms in areas of pressure and friction. Ailesbury uses liquid nitrogen, radiosurgery or CO2 laser in the treatment of  verrucaes. Warts can spread directly from person to person, but this isnt common. You are more likely to pick up the virus that causes warts in shared washing areas and showers like those you find in swimming pools or gyms. This is much more likely if you have small cuts on your feet.[
