Treatment

At Dermatology Junction, we are committed to providing personalised care that addresses your unique dermatological needs. Our compassionate team is dedicated to enhancing the health of your skin covering a spectrum of treatments, that encompass medical skin concerns, surgical procedures, and aesthetic treatments.

Hyperhidrosis Injection

Hyperhidrosis injections are a medical treatment used to manage excessive sweating, a condition known as hyperhidrosis. Hyperhidrosis injections typically involve the use of a neuromodulator, such as Botulinum toxin, which is injected into specific areas of the body experiencing excessive sweat production.

​

The neuromodulator works by temporarily blocking the nerve signals responsible for stimulating the sweat glands. By doing so, it reduces sweat production in the treated area. This treatment is particularly effective for focal hyperhidrosis, which refers to excessive sweating in specific regions like the underarms, palms, or soles of the feet.

 

Step-by-step:

  1. Our qualified professional will clean and mark the treatment areas.

  2. Several tiny injections of the neuromodulator will be delivered just beneath the skin’s surface.

  3. Pressure will be applied to control pin point bleeding.

  4. The process is usually well-tolerated and relatively quick, lasting about 15 to 30 minutes.

Cryotherapy

Cryotherapy is a dermatological treatment technique that involves the use of extremely cold temperatures to target and treat various skin conditions. The procedure is typically performed using liquid nitrogen or other cryogens that freeze and destroy the targeted tissue.

 

During cryotherapy, the dermatologist applies the cryogen directly to the affected area using a special applicator. The extreme cold causes the water within the cells to freeze, leading to the formation of ice crystals. These ice crystals disrupt the structure of the targeted cells, ultimately causing them to die off.

 

The procedure is generally quick, and patients may experience some discomfort during the freezing process and a stinging or burning sensation afterward. Mild redness and swelling may occur in the treated area, but these typically subside within a few days.

Daylight PDT

Daylight Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a proven and supported treatment offered for sun damage, specifically solar keratoses, and certain shallow skin cancers like Bowen’s Disease and superficial BCCs. The number of treatments needed varies depending on each individual case, typically ranging from one to two sessions. During the procedure, a cream is applied to your skin and then activated by exposure to daylight.

​

Step-by-step:

  1. Chemical sunscreen application for exposed areas, including treatment area. This will protect your skin from the ultraviolet light rays but will not block the daylight.

  2. Preparation of treating lesions and application of Metvix activation cream

  3. 30-minute wait after Metvix application

  4. Aftercare kit will be provided.

  5. Two hours of daylight exposure for the treatment area. This activates the Metvix, which then begins to destroy the abnormal cells. 

  6. Removal of Metvix cream with water and gentle cleanser

 

What to expect?

After undergoing PDT, you might experience swelling, especially around the eyes and mouth, which can last for 2 to 3 days. Redness, swelling, blisters and pustules are common but typically subside within 1-2 weeks, with the peak discomfort usually by day 4. If you have a public-facing job, you may want to take 1 to 2 weeks off, though some people feel comfortable returning to work after 5 days. You can generally apply makeup 1 to 2 days after PDT.

Red Light PDT

Metvix (Methyl aminolevulinate) PDT is a light sensitive cream used to treat certain non-melanoma skin cancers and pre-cancerous lesions. It is non-invasive and utilises a red light source with a specific wavelength that is placed over the affected area. When the light is applied, the photosensitising agents react to the skin cancers and/or pre-cancerous lesions to destroy these cells. 

The Metvix cream is highly selective for cancerous and pre-cancerous cells. This means scarring is minimised and healthy tissue surrounding the lesions is not affected

 

Step-by-step:

  1. Before the Metvix cream is applied, the lesion will be prepared by removing scales and crusts and roughening the skin’s surface. This preparation helps the cream to be absorbed.

  2. Metvix cream is applied to the affected areas and covered with a dressing for 3 hours - During this time patients are free to leave the practice, however they should ensure that the lesion is not exposed to very cold or hot temperatures or direct sunlight

  3. After 3 hours, the dressing and cream are gently removed with saline. The treated areas will be exposed to red-light via a suitable lamp.

  4. Generally 2 treatments one week apart is required

 

What to expect?

The most frequently reported side effects are painful and burning skin sensation typically beginning, during or soon after red-light exposure. These symptoms are usually mild or moderate in nature and should resolve on the day of treatment.

 

Patients may also experience local discomfort around the treated area during and after light exposure including skin burning, warm sensation, prickling and tingling skin or stinging sensation, swelling, pain itching of skin and redness. 

 

Sometimes crusting, ulceration, weeping  or discharge, blistering, peeling, bleeding skin, skin infection, changes to the colour of the skin or headache may also occur.

UV Phototherapy

UV Phototherapy utilises UVA or Narrowband UVB to treat skin conditions such as psoriasis, eczema, dermatitis, vitiligo and other, less common skin diseases. It entails the use of wavelengths of UV which is the major ultraviolet constituent of natural sunlight.

 

UV light particularly UVB can help skin conditions that are caused by an overreaction of the immune system by suppressing the immune system’s inflammatory response in the skin. It can also slow down the rapid growth of skin cells which is characteristic of psoriasis. 

 

What is involved in this treatment?

The treatments are given at a minimum of 2 times per week and involve standing in a light cabinet which gives out a measured and controlled dose of narrowband UVB or UVA. Each time the patient receives a treatment the amount of UV is increased, thus the length of time they spend in the machine also increases.

 

What are the side effects of this treatment?

  1. The most common side effect is sunburn. Patients must also tell the nurse whether they have been burned or even if you developed any redness following the last treatment. 

  2. Patients will become tanned with treatment. 

​

It is very important that patients limit sun exposure during the period they are being treated.

  1. It is quite common for the skin to get red and occasionally painful after treatment. Rarely blisters can occur. If the skin becomes red, often the rash will clear faster and fewer treatments will be necessary. 

  2. The rash may rarely worsen with this treatment. This can result from a burn with treatment or unpredictable photosensitivity.

  3. There is theoretically increased risk of skin cancer. Studies on patients have not shown any definite evidence of this, and short-term treatments should not seem to entail any significant hazard.
