MOLES, sunspots, and other blemishes and skin conditions can be treated by laser at Nuffield Health Taunton Hospital’s West of England Laser Centre.

Sun spots and freckles – sometimes known as ‘liver’ or ‘age’ spots – exist where the body collects more pigment, called melanin.

For removal of moles, short bursts of high laser light are applied, removing precise layers of superficial skin layer by layer until the lesion is significantly diminished or no longer visible.

The precision of modern-day lasers minimises risks of scarring, unlike the older version lasers of the past.

Also available is laser removal of facial thread veins, warts, veruccas, ‘blood spots’, excess hair and tattoos.

In addition, various injection treatments are used to smooth away fine facial lines and/or add volume and definition, for example to the lips.

Baggy eyelid problems can also be solved at the centre through a minor surgical procedure.

The WELC website – www.welc.co.uk – provides details on all treatments.
