Discreet, confidence-boosting results. Whether you want to clear a few blemishes or multiple tags, the outcome is clean, natural-looking skin.
At Dr Joney De Souza Skin & Laser Clinic in Marylebone, our diathermy treatment offers a precise, minimally-invasive solution for skin tags, milia, small benign lesions and other superficial skin irregularities. Using a fine-tip, high-frequency diathermy probe, we cauterise and remove unwanted growths with minimal discomfort, immediate results and very little downtime.
Our patients return to us year after year for natural, balanced results. Every review reflects our commitment to precision, safety and a personalised approach to aesthetic care.
Diathermy (or electro-cauterisation) uses high-frequency electrical current delivered through a fine insulated probe tip. This generates heat that precisely cauterises and removes the skin tag or lesion, sealing blood vessels and reducing the risk of bleeding.
Because the heat is localised to the small area of treatment, surrounding skin remains unaffected, reducing trauma and promoting smooth healing.
This method is widely used for removing skin tags, milia, benign lesions, and small vascular blemishes such as broken capillaries or thread veins.
You can rest assured that we only use the highest quality UK sourced products at our clinic, this includes only the most premium dermal fillers and the most advanced FDA approved technologies. With the highest levels of customer service and expertise, our focus is on you – just have a look at our amazing reviews.

Diathermy is a minimally-invasive procedure that uses high-frequency electrical current via a fine probe to cauterise and remove skin tags, milia or other benign skin lesions. The probe’s heat seals blood vessels as it removes the tissue.
Most people experience minimal discomfort. A topical numbing cream can be applied before treatment if needed, making the procedure more comfortable.
Usually between 15 and 30 minutes, depending on the number and size of skin tags or blemishes being removed.
Downtime is minimal. You might get mild redness or a small scab, which usually heals naturally over 7–14 days.
Yes, removed skin tags do not come back. However, new skin tags may develop elsewhere over time.
Based at 49 Blandford Street in Marylebone, Dr Joney De Souza Skin & Laser Clinic is known for its refined, personalised approach to aesthetic medicine. Under the expert care of Dr Joney, every treatment is tailored to enhance natural beauty and maintain long-term skin health.
Dr Joney will advise you on aftercare, such as avoiding strenuous exercise or massaging the area for 24 hours. Many patients choose to book a review appointment around two weeks later, where any fine-tuning can be carried out if necessary.
Results typically last between three to six months, depending on your individual response and the area treated. With regular maintenance treatments, you’ll notice smoother skin, softer lines, and a fresher, more relaxed appearance that still looks entirely natural.
