Treatment options include:

• Skin Peels
• Skin pen needling – this treatment incorporates a pen needle device that has multiple fine needles that are rolled over the skin repetitively to break up scar tissue and stimulate new collagen and elastin production, thus reducing visible scars
• Dermal filler injections – we utilize various dermal fillers to fill out scars and stimulate collagen and elastin production underneath the scar to ‘fill out’ or ‘push up’ the scarred skin. This can be incorporated with needle subcision
• Corticosteroid injection – this is a treatment option that can help reduce keloid scarring, but is most effective when utilized at the stage of keloid formation rather than at a later date
• Laser Genesis – this is a YAG laser based treatment option which can be effective in addressing more superficial scarring of the skin and we use this treatment in the management of red stretch marks
• Fractionated CO2 Laser Resurfacing – this option is available to resurface the skin in scarred areas and is a very effective treatment option, generally only requiring one treatment

Treatment options include:

• Surgical excision under local anaesthetic
• Post excision suturing

Cancer screening services currently involve:

• Consultation and history taking

OGAM Medical have invested in GenesisPlus, a YAG laser based treatment from Cutera, which is FDA approved as a safe and effective treatment of toenail fungal infection.

Nail fungus is a common condition estimated to affect up to 10% of the population worldwide. It can cause nails to become yellow or discoloured. As the infection advances, the nail can become brittle and separate from the nail bed.

During a genesis-plus treatment, the laser beam is passed repetitively over the infected nails and surrounding skin. The laser light is absorbed by the pigment in the fungi, and this heat kills or damages the fungal organism.

Number of treatments can be as little as one, but more commonly two, and occasionally more if the nail is very thickened with severe infection. The treatment is comfortable, with a sense of heat in the nail. It is important to remove all nail polish and decorations the day before the procedure. The treatment is relatively inexpensive.

A significant benefit of this treatment is the avoidance of the need for oral medications which have to be taken for three to six months and which can have significant side-effects.

OGAM provide the service of Yag laser treatment of warts. This newly recognised and approved treatment modality for the treatment of warts is successful, affordable, and with minimal discomfort.

The YAG laser targets the vascular component of the wart and thereby cuts off the blood supply to the wart, which then dies. The desired end point of the treatment is a slight ashen colour occurring immediately after the administration of the laser pulse.

Within 24 hours after the treatment, the wart usually has a black or crusty appearance, and the treated tissue usually sloughs within 1-4 weeks.

More than 1 treatment may be necessary (4-6 weeks apart).

OGAM provides the Laser Genesis Plus laser treatment option to relieve the symptoms of Morton’s Neuroma, a painful and often chronic condition with limited options for pain management.

During the treatment, approximately 400 laser pulses are administered from above the foot, and under the foot, in the affected area. The treatment generates heat, which can lead to a slight discomfort.

Mild redness and mild swelling may occur in the treated area, and this is a normal reaction. The number of treatments required may vary from 6 to 10, and can be performed weekly or twice per week depending on severity.

While some patients have reported improvement and relief after 1 treatment, most will typically begin to feel relief after 2 to 3 treatments.

It is recommended that patients avoid tight shoes, high heels, running and high impact aerobics during their treatment regimen.
