Cauterisation
A meticulous procedure for the safe and effective removal of common benign skin lesions including skin tags, warts, DPNs (dermatosis papulosa nigra), and other small surface growths — ensuring a clear and unblemished result.
The procedure uses precisely controlled electrical or thermal energy to destroy the target tissue while leaving surrounding skin intact. It is performed under local anaesthetic, involves minimal discomfort, and requires little to no downtime. The treated area heals cleanly over a period of 1 to 2 weeks, leaving skin smooth and free of the original lesion. Dr. Mounika Reddy determines the appropriate technique and energy setting based on the size, location, and nature of each lesion.
ILS — Intralesional Steroid
Intralesional Steroid Injections (ILS) are targeted therapeutic injections delivered precisely into specific skin lesions to treat localised inflammatory conditions. The corticosteroid is administered directly into the affected tissue, reducing inflammation, suppressing the overactive immune response, and promoting healing from within.
ILS is particularly effective for stubborn keloids and hypertrophic scars, where it reduces bulk and softens the scar tissue over a course of treatments. It is also used in the management of localised alopecia areata (patchy hair loss), acne cysts, and other inflammatory skin conditions that have not responded to topical therapies. The number of sessions required depends on the size and responsiveness of the lesion, and is determined by Dr. Mounika Reddy at your initial consultation.
Mole Removal
Whether for cosmetic enhancement or medical necessity, mole removal is performed with precision and utmost care to ensure minimal scarring and optimal aesthetic outcomes. Before any removal procedure, each mole is assessed clinically to confirm its benign nature, and a referral for further evaluation is arranged when indicated.
The removal technique is chosen based on the type, size, depth, and location of the mole — options include elliptical excision, or radiofrequency-based removal, each suited to different presentations. The procedure is performed under local anaesthetic, is largely painless, and leaves a clean, well-healed result. Aftercare instructions are provided to support smooth healing and minimise any residual mark.
