Dermabrasion

This technique may be used to remove or improve pitted acne scars, and to treat large flat birthmarks. It may produce good results for fine lines around the mouth.

Dermabrasion requires the skill and experience of a medically qualified person who has specialised in the technique.

Electro-desiccation and Electro-coagulation

This form of treatment is occasionally used on small broken veins on the skin of the face and legs, but it can also treat warts that stand proud above the skin surface.

It is particularly valuable in dealing with small, protuberant skin tags.
