Different types of non-surgical procedures for skin cancer
TARGETED HEAT FOR PRECISE TREATMENT
Diathermy is a non-surgical skin cancer treatment that employs high-frequency electric currents to remove cancerous lesions. This precise technique is particularly effective for smaller growths, such as superficial basal cell carcinomas. The electric current targets the abnormal cells, effectively destroying them while minimising damage to healthy surrounding tissue.
At Skin & Medical Northbridge, our skilled doctors are well-versed in diathermy procedures. This minimally invasive approach offers several benefits, including reduced scarring, minimal bleeding, and a shorter recovery time. With diathermy, you can have peace of mind knowing that your skin cancer is being treated with accuracy and efficiency.
FREEZING AWAY CANCEROUS CELLS
Cryotherapy is a non-surgical skin cancer treatment that uses extreme cold to freeze and destroy abnormal skin cells. This procedure is particularly suitable for most types of benign skin lesion such as warts, skin tags, molluscum contagiosum, seborrheic keratosis and solar keratosis. It is also suitable for certain types of basal cell carcinomas and precancerous lesions. During cryotherapy, liquid nitrogen is applied to the affected area, causing the abnormal cells to freeze and eventually fall off. It is also referred as cryosurgery or cryoablation.
The minimally invasive procedures involve the doctor using a cryospray container or a cotton-tipped applicator to apply liquid nitrogen onto affected area. Depending on the type, depth and diameter of the lesion, the nitrogen is applied for a few seconds, and the process may be repeated once thawed. After the treatment, usually, no special attention is needed after the procedure.
Our expert doctors at Skin & Medical Northbridge perform cryotherapy with precision, ensuring targeted treatment and minimal discomfort for our patients. This quick and convenient procedure requires little to no downtime, allowing you to resume your regular activities promptly.

This method uses focused beams of light to precisely target and destroy cancerous cells. Laser treatment is often preferred for its ability to preserve healthy tissue surrounding the affected area.
