Skin blemishes are irregularly pigmented areas. However, at our clinic in London we have the latest laser technology to eliminate spots that appear on the face, décolleté or any part of the body. Before indicating a treatment, an expert dermatologist must first rule out that the spot is not a malignant lesion.
What are blemishes?
The appearance of spots on the skin is a very frequent reason for consultation in our clinic. The evaluation of a blemish is essential to detect its origin and whether it is at risk of being dangerous. We always recommend making an appointment with a professional dermatologist to perform a physical examination and evaluate the colour, size and time since its appearance.
Our dermatology unit identifies all types of skin blemishes to find out their causes and eliminate them if necessary. Irregular discolouration can be caused by changes in melanin, changes in blood vessels, proliferation of bacteria or other microorganisms.
