Minor Procedure and Surgery
Our experienced medical practitioners perform a range of minor procedures and surgeries in a safe and sterile environment.
Assessment and Treatment of Skin Conditions
Regular skin checks are essential. Any changes in moles or spots may require a biopsy, which is then sent to a laboratory for further analysis. Minor excisions and cryotherapy (freezing) can be performed in our clinic, while more complex cases are referred to a specialist.
Contraceptive Devices (Implanon and Mirena IUD)
- Implanon Insertion and Removal
- Mirena / IUD Removal
Contraceptive devices provide effective, long-term pregnancy prevention. The Implanon is a small rod inserted under the skin of the upper arm that releases hormones, while the Mirena IUD is a T-shaped device placed in the uterus. Both are reliable and convenient options. Procedures are quick, performed under local anaesthetic, and carried out by trained doctors.
Circumcision
We offer circumcision services for children aged six and above, as well as adults for medical reasons such as phimosis. All procedures are performed safely under local anaesthetic.
Treatment of Ingrown Toenails (Wedge Resection)
An ingrown toenail occurs when the nail edge grows into the surrounding skin, causing pain, swelling, and possible infection. When conservative treatments fail, a wedge resection may be required — removing a small section of the affected nail and root to prevent recurrence. The procedure is performed under local anaesthetic and offers long-term relief.
